We adopted the following measures:
Protection of your assets by third parties
Your assets are held by a custodian. You will transfer your money directly into a trust account from which it can only be transferred back into your personal bank account or into our broker’s custodian account for investing your money.
Two-factor authentication for changes to your account
All customers are required to set up two-factor authentication (2FA) when creating their accounts. 2FA helps to protect your account by requiring you to enter a One-Time-Password (OTP) sent via email/SMS for verification of mobile number, changing bank details and withdrawing funds.
Withdrawal verification
To prevent unauthorised withdrawals, we will only process withdrawal requests to the bank account which you have registered with Akru.
Secure infrastructure
We use a secure server infrastructure based within the Google Cloud Platform that keeps your data protected. We use SSL and 256-bit encryption to protect your data down to the server-level.
Security is one of the most important parts in the Akru system. Being in the financial industry, Akru places high importance on the security of our systems. From the physical security of the premises and devices (routers, modems, laptops, desktops etc) used to operate our systems, to logical security such as firewalls, and other software and security systems and processes to two-factor authentication that is used to protect the system from interference and/or malicious attacks, Akru has adopted all current industry security standards. By developing and maintaining our system on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), we can leverage on its security features.
Amongst the security measures are:
data transmission via 256-bit encryption
secure password requirement for customers
two-factor authentication for critical transactions such as verification of mobile number, change bank account number and withdrawal of funds
regular automated backups
anti-virus software
anti-DDOS systems
hardened firewalls
redundancy
latest security patches updates.
The GCP also ensures the reliability of the system, in that it has inherent redundancy within itself. We have ensured that our security meets and/or exceeds all of those measures stipulated by the Securities Commission of Malaysia (SC) which regulates us.
