BSI eSolution has gone to great lengths to engineer into Cogent the optimum, state-of-the-art security measures available within today’s Best Practices and marketplace. Cogent sets the stage for the processing of secure financial transactions from an environment that offers data integrity, availability and secure access. Cogent is offered as a standalone version, where the Cogent client installs and operates the system within your environment, or as an ASP solution, hosted by BSI. The same security architecture and procedures applies to both environments. There are five distinct layers of security that need to be considered to make Cogent as secure and reliable as possible. The picture below identifies the critical points of each layer.
