Enhanced Security Measures Coming October 1st, 2024
Grand View is dedicated to protecting your data and private member information. Due to the ever-evolving security threats in the digital world, we are implementing a few industry-standard security measures to further secure your data from online threats.
On October 1st, with the full rollout of the 2.0 interfaces, we will implement security measures for all users with access to membership information other than their own. This includes lodge/chapter admins, district/regional officers, and top-level super users. Individual members will not be required to configure these measures for the member portal but are strongly encouraged to do so.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
User accounts with access to admin dashboards (Lodge, Chapter, District, and Top Level) will be required to use MFA and enter a code emailed or sent via text message to log into the system. Users can have the system remember their login for 30 days to streamline the login process.
Password Complexity Requirements
We will begin enforcing complex passwords that include numbers and mixed-case characters.
Acceptable Use Policy
All users will be required to accept an acceptable use policy stipulating the ownership and acceptable use of the data stored in the system.
Captcha on all Public-facing Forms
Interfaces and forms open to the public will begin using Captcha features to stop bots from attempting to scrape information and from overloading the public-facing forms. These include the lodge locator search, prospect, leads, and member registration.
We expect these measures to come as no surprise to the targeted users. However, anytime security measures are implemented, end users experience a certain amount of frustration. We ask that you send out a newsletter to inform all administrative users of these security enhancements and the value of the benefits over the minor inconvenience.
Fraternally Yours,
Jeff Clarke
