Our priorities: security & trust.<\/h1>\n

At ProVoteSolutions<\/strong>, we\u2019re proud of the 23 patents we\u2019ve been granted for innovations in printing security. But our commitment to earning your trust doesn\u2019t stop there. Our best practices extend from proven, time-tested processes to the latest frontiers in cutting-edge security \u2013 all to provide our clients with uncompromised protection and unparalleled trust:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Both our Porterville and Paso Robles facilities are SOC 2 Certified as part of our comprehensive cybersecurity program.<\/li>\n
  • Our digital printing equipment and inserters are equipped with camera systems that read and verify that the ballot data is correct and matches the envelope data.<\/li>\n
  • Having two independent production facilities in California assures you we have open capacity and emergency redundancy if needed.<\/li>\n
  • Our strict policy of never exceeding 80% of our production capacity for any election cycle ensures our ability to deliver our ballots on time.<\/li>\n
  • During testing, we require our systems to process 1 million test ballots and produce 0 errors.<\/li>\n
  • All customer-submitted art and data files are encrypted using 256-bit SSL through ShareFile, the same security used by banks and many e-commerce sites.<\/li>\n
  • Our data collection, processing and storage security protocols include hourly data center backup and a hardened Meraki firewall with aggressive intrusion protection.<\/li>\n
  • We maintain NASPO industry-leading standards of security in all materials, components, suppliers and products.<\/li>\n
  • Security protocols in place for all products and services throughout all production, supply chains, custody chains and distribution channels.<\/li>\n
  • All physical systems are protected by locks and tamper-evident seals to prevent potential tampering at any point in an election cycle.<\/li>\n
  • All digital data is encrypted with a key that is unique for every election to prevent tampering by unauthorized users.<\/li>\n
  • System software is installed only on hardened computers, each locked down to perform only election-related functions, with no internet connection and no access to unauthorized USB drives.<\/li>\n
  • All data in transit is safeguarded using FIPS-compliant cryptographic signature validation, so every time a file is accessed the signatures of all files throughout the election process are validated.<\/li>\n
  • All systems save a record of each user action in the system audit log.<\/li>\n
  • We develop a unique disaster recovery plan, customized for each client, each election.<\/li>\n
  • All systems are monitored 24\/7 and undergo ongoing vulnerability assessments.<\/li>\n
  • Our 177,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility in Porterville, CA employs the following security protocols:\n

    • Facility interior and exterior are guarded under remote surveillance and controlled by a third party.<\/li>\n
    • All employee entrance doors are locked and controlled via RFID.<\/li>\n
    • All RFID points save a record of date, time and employee code.<\/li>\n
    • Visitors enter through a security lobby which controls access to the facility.<\/li>\n
    • All visitors are checked in using an automated touch-screen kiosk that takes a photograph and logs the visit.<\/li>\n

    • Facility is equipped with shredding and disintegration equipment compliant with NSA\/CSS Specification 02-02, High Security Disintegrators and NSA\/CSS 04-02, Optical Media Destruction Devices.<\/li>\n
    • Ballot waste, including make ready, is shredded on site.<\/li>\n
    • All printing plates are destroyed upon completion of ballot printing.<\/li>\n
