RingCentral is responsible for designing end-to-end security into the product and managing service delivery. It also bolsters physical and environmental security of the communications service.

 

End-to-end security for Voice and Data

RingCentral gives customers peace of mind by implementing advanced systems with up to seven layers of security. This is aimed at creating a barrier of protection at every level of the phone system's processes and architecture. The technology also protects the enterprise levels of client organizations.

Transmission security is achieved through encryption to prevent interception of communications. The vendor uses Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP) and the Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide maximum protection for all endpoints, including the RingCentral for Google G Suite Edition.

Some of the additional safeguards deployed include multiple authentication levels and firewalls. When it comes to infrastructure, the service provider employs a number of security mechanisms, including:

  • Payment processing - full PCI DSS 3.1 compliance
  • Administrative functions - multiple authentication levels
  • Applications and network - session border controllers and firewalls
  • Technology - fraud analytics and intrusion-detection systems
  • Operational functions - system hardening, monitoring and vulnerability scans

The sites are protected by security guards, robust electronic prevention systems and engineering specialists. The potential for data loss and service interruption due to catastrophe is significantly reduced thanks to the geographic diversity of the locations.
