We take the protection of our clients data seriously

The threat from cyber-attacks is becoming more and more real to businesses and the threat landscape is becoming increasingly more complex.

 In a Cyberthreats report in mid-2021 by Acronis[i], they reported on current cyberthreat attack trends:

  • 300% spike in cybercrime during the COVID-19 pandemic

  • 57% of attacks are missed by traditional antivirus solutions

  • 4 out of 5 organizations experienced a cybersecurity breach originating from a vulnerability in their third-party vendor ecosystem.

  • Phishing attacks were rampant in 2021.

  • 94% of malware is now delivered by email.

  • Small and medium sized businesses were at particular risk

LastPass - Password Vault

Flock use LastPass for all password management

Information form Last Pass:

Why do I need a password vault?

Unfortunately, security breaches are becoming more and more common, and it’s almost impossible to keep your information safe without the help of an online vault.

According to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Report, 81% of breaches are due to weak or reused passwords. Passwords are the weak link when it comes to your online security – mostly because they are hard to remember. Your password vault eliminates this problem and allows you to store and use unique, strong passwords.

This is particularly important for businesses as employees have so many account logins to remember, and they often need to share passwords between coworkers. There is no good way to do this securely without storing this information in a password vault.

How secure is the LastPass vault?

At LastPass security is our number one priority. With local-only encryption, your data is encrypted and decrypted at the device level. Data stored in your vault is kept secret, even from LastPass.

Your master password, and the keys used to encrypt and decrypt data, are never sent to LastPass’ servers, and are never accessible by LastPass.

We are also SOC 2 Type II compliant. This detailed review of our controls and processes is a “gold standard” for confirming the security and reliability of LastPass. “
