Once we have received your information, we use strict procedures and security features to ensure it stays secure, including:
    • Communication over the Internet between you and Wise systems is encrypted using strong asymmetric encryption. This makes it unreadable to anyone who might be listening in. We update and patch our servers in a timely manner. We run a Responsible Disclosure and bug bounty program to identify any security issues in Wise services. Our technical security team proactively monitors for abnormal and malicious activity in our servers and services. We require our staff and any third parties who carry out any work on our behalf to comply with appropriate compliance standards (including obligations to protect any information and applying appropriate measures for the use and transfer of information). When information you’ve given us is not in active use, it is encrypted at rest.This means it’s unreadable without the decryption key.
