Security is a focal point in all our workflows and it is not something we take light-heartedly at Hiveage.

Keep Track of Your Activities with the Logs Tab
Users can now keep track of their login details using the Logs Tab. This also provides information of devices used to access your account as well as browser information (Date, Time, IP address, Browser, Browser version, Platform). If a user feels suspicious of an activity, he or she can now easily go to the Logs tab and investigate who accessed their account.
Upcoming Security Features for Hiveage
In order to make our billing and invoice platform more reliable and effective, we are in the process of enabling both Two-factor Authentication (2FA) and Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard for Hiveage, really soon.
- Two-factor Authentication: Enabling this optional feature means that you are adding a second layer of protection for your account. Whenever you sign into your Hiveage account, you will need to enter both your password and a verification code generated on your mobile device.
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard: This is a widely accepted set of policies and procedures intended to optimize the security of credit, debit and cash card transactions and protect cardholders against misuse of their personal information. Maintaining PCI compliance help ensure healthy and trustworthy payment card transactions for users who use their cards every day to deal with Hiveage. This also includes continual identification of threats and vulnerabilities that could potentially impact Hiveage as well.
