TimeTrex – Information Security

Remember to not use a Social Security Number or date of birth in TimeTrex
Additionally, it is best not to use a partial of the SSN or DOB in TimeTrex in fields like an employee number or password.  If you would like to use a unique employee number please feel free to use the randomly generated employee number Cardinal assigns to all employees.  Your Cardinal representative will be able to provide you with that number.


TimeTrex is set up to be secure enough to handle sensitive information and we set the expectation that employees must keep their password secure.  For example, we provide clients with information security assistance and confidentiality agreements.  But if an employee scribbles down the password and posts it next to their computer this is like chaining up a bike then securing it with a paperclip.  A key piece to prevent unauthorized access is to make any unauthorized access fruitless for a hacker by removing personal data that can be used for identity theft.

Thank you,
