PB TestDriveTM Data Security Provisions

At Performance Benchmarking, we understand that company data are proprietary information. That is why we have implemented security measures to protect the data you submit on-line, and to safeguard that data within our organization.

Data Security

PB TestDriveTM uses Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology. SSL is a form of public key cryptography that is used for internet security. SSL is used to authenticate you as a PB TestDrive>TM subscriber and to scramble your data during transmission, making it nearly impossible for others to access the data you send to PB.

For more information on SSL, visit Microsoft's SSL FAQ. If you have questions or concerns about data transmission security using PB TestDriveTM, please contact PB at pbs@mmtc.org.

Confidentiality Policy

Your performance is your business ONLY! Access to company data is securely restricted to: (1) the single contact person designated for your company, and (2) MMTC's Performance Benchmarking staff.

  • No other person or entity will know that you are participating in our benchmarking service.
  • No other person or entity will have access to your questionnaire answers or to your customized report.

Access to benchmarking data is restricted, both physically and electronically.

  • Hard copy questionnaires are stored in a locked office.
  • Questionnaires are filed and accessed only by a questionnaire number, not by company name.
  • The report sent to you is the only copy in existence. MMTC does not maintain a hard copy or an electronic copy, although your report could be regenerated from the database.
  • Access to the Performance Benchmarking database is restricted to the benchmarking staff.

If you have additional questions or concerns about confidentiality, contact Performance benchmarking at pbs@mmtc.org or by phone at (888) 414-6682.
