Protecting Our Systems

We use DNSSEC to protect against forged DNS answers, where zones are cryptographically signed to ensure the DNS records received are identical to the DNS records published by Gigasheet. When you visit our website or use the Gigasheet app, the transmission of information between your device and our servers is protected using 256-bit encryption. We test our app continuously for the latest vulnerabilities with recurring weekly scans crowd-sourced from ethical hackers.
