Website Security Measures and Methods
The Office of the Official Information Commission recognizes the importance of maintaining website security to protect user data from destruction or intrusion by malicious parties or those without the right to access the data. Therefore, the Office has implemented website security measures using advanced data security standards with Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which is a technology for accessing data via encryption at the 128-bit level (128-bits Encryption). This technology encrypts the data sent across the internet every time a financial transaction is conducted via the Office of the Official Information Commission's internet network, preventing parties intercepting the data mid-transmission from using it. Encryption is primarily used to ensure data security, which users can observe from the protocol name starting with https://

Complementary Technologies Used for Security
Besides the general security measures and methods mentioned above, the Office of the Official Information Commission also employs the following advanced technologies to protect your personal data
– Firewall is a software system that only allows authorized users or users approved by the Office of the Official Information Commission to pass through the Firewall and access the data.
– Scan Virus In addition to every service computer having high-performance and regularly updated Anti-Virus Software installed, the Office of the Official Information Commission has also installed dedicated Scan Virus Software on the Server machines.
– Cookies are small computer files that temporarily store necessary data on the service user's computer for convenience and speed in communication. However, the Office of the Official Information Commission is highly aware of the privacy of its users and therefore avoids using Cookies. But if the use of Cookies becomes necessary, the Office of the Official Information Commission will consider it carefully, prioritizing the security and privacy of the service user.
– Auto Log off When using the services of the Office of the Official Information Commission, you should log off every time after finishing use. In cases where the user forgets to log off, the system will automatically log off within a suitable time frame for each service. This is for the user's own safety.

Recommendations Regarding Security
