  1. Is automatic log-off an option?

    Yes. We give you the ability to disable the automatic login option. If you turn this off, the user's session will expire after 1 hour. This option is enabled/disabled on the Site Settings page.

  2. Do you enforce high security passwords?

    Yes. You can turn on/off the option to force all users to use high-security alphanumeric passwords. This ensures that every password is at least 8 characters in length and contacts upper-case and lower-case characters and at least one number. This option is turned on/off in your Site Settings page and setting the "Strengthened Password Policy" option.

  3. Do you use SSL?

    Yes, we provide SSL connections for all *.teamworkpm.net sites. This ensures that your communication with our server is safe from prying eyes.

  4. Who has access to the servers?

    Only selected Teamwork Project Manager staff have authorization to access the physical servers. We also have a code of ethics that ensures that we will never breach customer confidentiality.

  5. Where are your servers located?

    Our servers are currently located at a state of the art hosting facility with Layered Tech in Chicago, USA.

  6. Do you require your datacenters to complete a SSAE16 audit?

    Yes, our hosting partner is Layeredtech - we used their primary high end datacenter outside Chicago.

    They are fully compliant with SSAE16 - see: http://www.layeredtech.com/why-layeredtech/certifications-and-tech-partners/#ssae16

  7. Is there security at the file folder level by user?

    In January 2012 we introduced a feature called "Lockdown" that allows you to apply very powerful security to all object within TeamworkPM.

    You can choose exactly who should see any item. This is a feature that no other project management system comes close to matching. The interface is really intuitive.
