Security
Gambiva applies a comprehensive range of technical and organisational measures to protect user accounts, financial data, and all transactions conducted through the platform. These measures are reviewed and updated on a regular basis to address evolving security requirements.
Data Encryption
All data transmitted between users and the platform is protected using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. This includes:
- Encryption of login credentials and authentication tokens;
- Secure transmission of payment information during deposit and withdrawal processes;
- Protection of all personal data exchanged between the user’s device and platform servers.
Sensitive data stored within platform systems is encrypted at rest using established cryptographic standards.
Account Protection
Users are encouraged to take the following steps to maintain the security of their accounts:
- Set a strong, unique password that is not used on other platforms;
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available;
- Log out of the platform when accessing it from a shared or public device;
- Report any suspected unauthorised account activity to the support team without delay.
Two-Factor Authentication
Gambiva supports two-factor authentication as an additional layer of account security. Once activated, users are required to verify their identity through a secondary method at each login. This reduces the risk of unauthorised access even in cases where login credentials have been compromised.
Activity Monitoring
The platform operates continuous monitoring systems designed to:
- Detect suspicious login attempts, including access from unrecognised devices or geographic locations;
- Identify patterns of activity inconsistent with normal account behaviour;
- Flag and respond to potential account takeover attempts in a timely manner.
Suspicious activity may result in temporary account restrictions pending verification by the security team.
Responsible Disclosure
Users who identify potential security vulnerabilities in the platform are requested to report their findings to the security team through official contact channels. Gambiva reviews all reported issues and takes appropriate action to address confirmed vulnerabilities.
