SECTION 04

Data Security & Protection

9koi continuously invests in the latest security technologies and procedures to protect all members' personal data from unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

  • 256-bit SSL Encryption: All data moving between your device and 9koi's servers is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption — the same level used by major banks in Malaysia.
  • Stored Data Encryption: Sensitive data stored in 9koi's database, including financial details and identity information, is encrypted using modern encryption algorithms.
  • Internal Access Controls: Only 9koi staff who require access to specific data in the course of their duties are permitted to do so, in accordance with the principle of least privilege.
  • Threat Monitoring: 9koi's security monitoring system operates around the clock to detect any suspicious activity or unauthorised access attempts.
  • Regular Security Audits: 9koi conducts regular internal and external security audits to identify and address any vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

While 9koi takes all reasonable security measures, no system in the world is 100% immune to risk. You also play an important role in keeping your account secure — enable 2FA, use a strong password, and never share your login credentials with anyone.
