Nous Security

We understand that when you use a product in the Nous Suite (AgriNous, YardNous, AgentNous, MyNous and affiliated products), you are entrusting us with one of your most valuable assets – the transactional and financial data of your company or clients. We treat this responsibility very seriously.

While we can’t publicise every detail of our security processes, we would like to provide a level of assurance by demonstrating a careful, pragmatic approach alongside some of the key tenets that we operate by. Please see our Terms of Service for our full contract terms.

#1 You own your data

We are in essence ‘caretakers’, looking after your data, in order to provide a service. We ensure that you have the controls necessary to manage access to your data. If at any time you wish to remove your company from AgriNous, you can simply delete the company. The
data will exist in our offsite backup for a period of time and then be removed from our systems so no further use or disclosure can occur.

#2 Security is ongoing

Security is not a ‘set-and-forget’ operation. At AgriNous, we are continuously evaluating and
reinforcing our security approach through an internal documentation & review process.

#3 Availability is important

The availability of your data is crucial to your use of AgriNous.

Your data is continuously replicated across multiple data centres. This means that, in the event of a disaster or an outage at one of our data centres, we can continue to provide AgriNous with minimal downtime.

#4 Hosting & Physical Security

AgriNous is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) based in Australia, a highly scalable cloud computing platform with end-to-end security and privacy features built-in. Our team takes additional measures to maintain a secure infrastructure and application environment.

#5 SSL

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is an encryption technology used to protect data as it travels over the internet. All AgriNous application communications are encrypted with 256-bit SSL,  providing a level of encryption comparable to that used by banks and financial institutions.

#6 User Access

Within each account, AgriNous provides for multiple levels of access to  confidential data. You can invite or remove individual users from your account whenever you want. Selected AgriNous staff can also access your data, for support purposes only, and subject to your account permissions, which you can control. When staff access your data, they must follow our internal confidentiality protocols and must not use or share it improperly.

#7 Passwords

Best practices are used in the transmission and storage of passwords within AgriNous.

All users must choose a strong password, and an automatic lockout is enforced when incorrect passwords are entered. If you are inactive for an extended period while still logged in to AgriNous, you will be automatically logged out.

#8 Firewall

AgriNous’ primary platform is housed on AWS (Amazon Web Services), within managed VPCs (Virtual Private Clouds)behind CloudFront WAF (Web Application Firewalls) using best practices to prevent third-party access to our systems. All accesses and actions are audit logged with AWS security tooling.

#9 Third-party Audits and Inspections

We backup customer data every 24 hours. We also retain copies of daily backups in multiple geographic locations to aid in disaster recovery. Company-specific data is kept separate in our backup protocols through logical separation, based on application-level access
permissions and roles.

#10 Data Protection & Backup

Our Terms of Service protect your data in a number of ways, including by prohibiting other users of AgriNous products from harvesting information, interfering with data, screen-scraping or using data for AI training. The nature of the public internet means that we
cannot rule out that data may be improperly disclosed or accessed, or affected by human error, technical error or deficiency, viruses, or malicious or unauthorised users, but we use all the means described in this statement to try to prevent improper access.

#11 Privacy

For more information on how AgriNous treats your personal information, please see our Privacy Policy.

How can you stay protected?

Here are some simple steps you can take to stay protected:

  1. Create a password nobody can guess, so no dictionary words or family names. Be cryptic or use multi-word pass phrases – easy to remember, hard to crack.
  2. Don’t share your password with anybody.
  3. Don’t write your password on a sticky note and attach it to your computer.
