🔐 Backend Access Security Protocols

Secure Access Handling for Fix Tasks, AI Setup, Website Support, and Technical Interventions

At SKUNKWORK™, we take security and data privacy seriously. Whenever backend access is required to perform your task — whether for a technical website fix, AI onboarding, or server-level diagnostics — we follow a structured, secure, and transparent protocol.

We use the Zoho One™ suite to manage sensitive information through secure forms, credential storage, and task-based automations. Our system ensures credentials are transmitted and stored encrypted, only visible to assigned personnel, and disposed of securely after use.

Our internal protocol includes:

  • Encrypted Credential Submission:
    Clients are sent a secure Zoho Form, SSL-encrypted and designed to collect only the necessary access details (e.g. CMS, DNS, cPanel, Hosting, SMTP).
  • Limited Access & Expiry Controls:
    Credentials are routed directly to Zoho Vault or securely held within Zoho CRM, tagged per task and restricted to only those who need them.
  • Audit & Logging:
    All access events are timestamped and logged. Our Zoho Flow automations notify internal teams when access credentials are submitted or need to be retired.
  • Credential Expiry Reminder:
    We notify you after task completion to recommend removal or update of temporary accounts/passwords.

🔁 What You (the Client) Should Do

To assist us and protect your systems, please follow these best practices when submitting backend access:

  1. Provide Temporary Credentials Whenever Possible
    Create a temporary admin user, assign limited privileges, and remove the account once your task is marked complete.
  2. Be Specific with Access Requirements
    If access is required only for a CMS, don’t provide FTP or server root credentials. Keep access targeted and minimal.
  3. Update Passwords After Completion
    Especially for sensitive environments like hosting panels or SMTP email setups.
  4. Use the Provided Secure Submission Link Only
    Do not send passwords via email, chat, or file uploads outside our Zoho Form. This ensures encryption and task-based routing.

🔒 Summary Statement

“SKUNKWORK™ uses Zoho One’s encrypted systems to securely receive and manage access credentials. Clients are advised to provide temporary access accounts where possible. All submissions are encrypted, time-stamped, and reviewed only by the technical staff assigned to your task. Access should be revoked upon project completion.”
