Escentual.co.uk is hosted on a dedicated server in a secure datacentre with a security infrastructure consisting of up to 256-bit AES (or 128-bit TLS using internet explorer) encryption of any personal data about our customers. Credit card info is additionally encrypted prior to storage on our robust Sybase SQL server. A firewall is in place between our server and the internet, with HTTP Ports 80 and 443 being the only public access into our system. Additionally, our content and database servers are protected behind a high security configuration. This means there is no way to directly connect to our servers by IP address even if it were possible to breach the firewall security protocols.
