Worklio Partners with Leading PEO FrankCrum

One of the fastest growing PEOs has selected Worklio to streamline processes on a highly secure platform to allow continuing focus on superior customer service and growth.

CLEARWATER, Florida — FrankCrum has chosen Worklio™ as its new Human Capital Management (HCM) technology platform for its 4,000 client companies and its 70,000 worksite employees.

The Worklio HCM is an all-in-one platform that includes a powerful Payroll Engine and comprehensive modules for Human Resources, Workers’ Compensation and Benefits. Worklio is designed to manage the information for a large number of employers within a highly secure environment.

FrankCrum is a leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO) that offers comprehensive outsourced HR, Payroll and Payroll Administration, Employee Benefits and Benefits Administration, and Workers’ Compensation services.

“We evaluated multiple possible solutions to modernize our back-end systems and chose Worklio,” said Farid Nagji, Executive VP of Operations and Technology for FrankCrum. “They offered us a flexible and advanced technology platform with critical system security to protect our clients’ valuable and confidential information. This will allow us to advance our system scalability while maintaining superior service to our clients, which is the essence of our brand value. Our approach in adopting Worklio is unique and custom. We will integrate Worklio with MyFrankCrum, our proprietary customer- and employee-facing portal, which earns us a competitive advantage. We can optimize the customer’s experience and leverage Worklio as part of our business platform to support the uniqueness of our PEO service model, forged over almost 40 years in business.

Worklio Security Exceeds Industry Standards

Security is an essential part of doing business in the online world and it is the foundation for the Worklio platform and day-to-day operations.

Worklio is a Software as a Service (SaaS) that was built on the latest Microsoft framework for web applications. It is designed specifically for the Microsoft Azure cloud — not an on-premises system that was installed in a virtual machine and called a “cloud”. Each instance is separated to protect each PEO company and its clients.

Worklio uses Microsoft Azure DevOps for code management and task management. It is the same system that Microsoft uses to protect Windows, Office and related software. The platform was designed from scratch to use all of the advantages of the Microsoft Azure Cloud, including the built-in security features. It is the latest technology to protect you and your data. In the worst case scenario, there are several options for a fast recovery because source codes and data are stored separately.

The Worklio team is highly skilled with years of experience in different areas of contemporary technology, including an email portal that has had millions of users and the antispyware app Spyware terminator that has been downloaded 400 million times.

Worklio maintains a system of continuous monitoring that exceeds the industry standard for security: 24×7, both in-house and from multiple independent locations.

Annually, Worklio renews its ISO 27001 certification for information security management and ISO 9001 certification for quality management. A comprehensive supervisory audit verified compliance in January 2021.

Some more specific highlights of the Worklio security system:

• Encryption
Worklio uses PCI-grade TLS-transfer encryption (HTTPS); the server is connected to customers with TLS 1.2 communication encryption. Azure SQL Transparent Data Encryption and Column Level Encryption are used for sensitive information (e.g., SSN, account numbers). Data is secured with multi-layered encryption with AES-256 and RSA 2048 bit keys, the highest standard available. Encryption keys are stored in an Azure Key Vault secure location and separate from connected data.

The Worklio platform is hosted in a cloud infrastructure that is secured at an off-site location.

All PEO environments are isolated so a problem in one does not affect others.

• Firewall
Worklio uses a web application firewall that supports IPS and DDoS protection. IP restrictions and firewall controls are at all database endpoints.

• Data
Worklio handles all data with care to maintain high standards and best practices, including certification attested to by HIPPA, PCI DSS and ISO 27001. Data is backed up regularly and stored in multiple secure locations throughout the United States. Night backups are retained for seven days. Point-in-time restore allows for the re-establishment of the database state to any minute in the preceding 35 days. The Worklio system and data span numerous physical locations, with N+1 or greater redundancy to establish resilience for all components.

• Ongoing Monitoring
Worklio maintains a system of continuous monitoring that exceeds the industry standard for security: 24×7, both in-house and from multiple independent locations. Third-party cybersecurity firms are used for security testing, scans and threat detection. There are regular reviews of the platform and the server environment, focusing on all levels of operation.

Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) practices are followed for secure development procedures and to prevent most known attacks, including XSS, SQL injection and other types.

Worklio plans to hire an outside firm to do penetration testing in 2021 Q2.

• Security Built Into the Worklio Platform
Worklio has a layered system of access rights built into the platform to restrict the number of people who have access to client and employee information. All changes made by anyone on the platform – by administrators, employees and clients – are logged in an audit system so that all access and data alterations are available.

IP restrictions, two-factor authentication and a strong password policy are built into the Worklio platform and all are highly recommended to be activated by clients.

• Access Restrictions for Worklio Personnel
Worklio personnel — programmers, developers and support — have limited and controlled access. The build environment and the deployment of releases is handled only by Azure DevOps so no attacker can modify or inject malicious code into production binaries. Azure PaaS is used as the production environment to guarantee the latest server patches and the latest version for runtime frameworks. Development uses only the most recent supported version of .NET Core, and no obsolete environments.

All employees are subject to significant background checks and vetting to maintain a high level of integrity.

• Source-code-level Security
All builds and releases are run on dedicated computers with full automation. All source-code changes are logged and can be traced from/to build and released versions, and to each developer. Source code flows through three phases: Test > Staging > Production. All hotfixes are reviewed by senior developers through pull requests. Everything is covered with the same security that Microsoft uses to protect its own source code for Windows and Office.

• International Compliance
ISO 27001 audits verify Worklio security every year. The most recent comprehensive supervisory audit was completed in January 2021.

Worklio is also in the process of obtaining SOC 2 certification to further ensure the secure management and protection of data.

• Azure Uptime Guarantee
Worklio servers are hosted in the cloud by Microsoft Azure. The Azure Cloud has an uptime guarantee of 99.95%. The long-time average based on our Service Level Agreement conditions, which excludes non-office hours when releases are made, is 99.99%.

Don’t Take the Bait — Protect Yourself and Your Business against Phishing

Security is a big part of the life online — whether it be for individuals, businesses or governments.

Worklio maintains ISO 27001 certification for information security management and ISO 9001 certification for quality management. It uses high-grade TLS and multi-layered encryption with AES-256 and RSA 2048 bit keys. Monitoring is constant and exceeds the industry standard.

But, when it comes down to it, human beings are the most important part of keeping everything safe. One of the most simple steps to take is to beware of phishing attempts.

Phishing is the attempt to infiltrate a computer system by luring a user to provide sensitive information, like passwords, credit cards or personal data. One weak link can pull down an entire organization.

Don’t Take the Bait. 

Phishing emails are designed to look familiar and legitimate. There are tell-tale signs that can protect you and your data. Keep these common-sense points in mind:

 Spelling and Grammar Are Important — Those rules you learned in grade school might save you a lot of trouble.

Question Awkward Wording — Non-native English is often easy spot. Legitimate text reads smoothly.

Check Where the Link Goes — Hover to Discover over links to see where they lead. Look for “https” and a closed lock icon in the address bar. Best: retype the destination address.

Beware the Unexpected Email — You wouldn’t take candy from a stranger, so double-check before you open their emails.

Manage Your Pop-ups — Phishing can also use pop-up windows. Block unnecessary ones.

Protect Your Valuables — You don’t leave your house or car unlocked, so use a firewall, antivirus software or spam blocker.

 

Think Before You Click!

Worklio wants you and your data to be safe and secure.

ISO 9001:2015 sets out the requirements for a quality management system to provide guidance for companies that want to ensure that they consistently meet customer requirements.
