What about security?

Your privacy and security are our highest priority. That's why we're hard at work on an ongoing basis to keep ServiceArizona one of the most secure websites on the Internet. Here are just a few of the things we are doing to protect you:

All confidential records are kept locked inside an "electronic vault" protected by IBM's most advanced security technologies and among the most comprehensive security programs and services in the industry...the IBM Secureway (tm) line of products.

IBM uses the industry's standard bearer for electronic commerce to encrypt your credit card number before it ever leaves your computer. This means that your credit card number is kept confidential within the system during and after your use of ServiceArizona.

Professional IBM security specialists have trained IBM's employees on security procedures. These procedures are checked and double-checked by both the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division and IBM's security experts on a regular basis.

IBM conducts unannounced audits of every security checkpoint up to 50 times a year. This includes a rigorous inspection of IBM technology, procedures, training and personnel.

We hope you will take advantage of the convenience ServiceArizona offers with complete confidence in its security. If you have any concerns, please contact IBM at servicearizona@clearlake.ibm.com.
