Accreditations

Our group partners have achieved ISO 9002 and AABB certification.  All DNA paternity and forensic services (excluding non-invasive prenatal testing services) are serviced by ISO 9002 certifications and AABB guidelines and accompanying accreditations.

All non-invasive prenatal testing services are provided by an affiliated non-AABB non-ISO9002 independent laboratory.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)

Our websites are coded with Verisigns 256 bit SSL encryption ensuring the highest in internet protection and e-transactions providing clients with security and privacy.

An SSL Certificate consists of a public key and a private key. The public key is used to encrypt information and the private key is used to decipher it. When a Web browser points to a secured domain, a Secure Sockets Layer handshake authenticates the server (Web site) and the client (Web browser). An encryption method is established with a unique session key.

Every SSL Certificate is created for a particular server in a specific domain for a verified business entity. Like a passport or a driver’s license, an SSL Certificate is issued by a trusted authority, the Certificate Authority (CA). When the SSL handshake occurs, the browser requires authentication from the server.
