Security Policy and Passwords

ShipZone applies the following safety standards to all of its systems:

  • Minimum password length: 12 characters
  • Complexity: Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters are required.
  • Username restriction: Passwords cannot contain your username or email address.
  • Expiry: Employee accounts are reset every 90 days; user accounts every 180 days.
  • Cooling prevention: The last 10 passwords cannot be reused.
  • Multifactor Authentication (MFA): Mandatory for all staff.
  • Storage: Passwords are stored using the hash bcrypt algorithm; never in plain text.
  • Access control: Access of former employees will be revoked within 24 hours.
