| Security Measures |
| Commitment to Security |
As a leading provider of Electronic Commerce ("EC") tools and
services on the Internet, JimTrade is firmly committed to information
security. Our infrastructure and network are carefully protected from
unauthorized access and security enhancements are constantly being implemented.
You can be assured that we take strict security measures (consistent with
good and sound industry practice and standards) so as to safeguard and
maintain the confidentiality of our customers' personal and company-confidential
information. If you have any suggestions to enhance our security measures
or concerns regarding security in your use of Global Sources services
and products, please send an e-mail to support@jimtrade.com.

| Corporate Security |
JimTrade's internal network is protected by a secure firewall. All access
to the internal network, including dial-in, e-mail and Internet access,
are permitted only to authorized users. Computer accounts are password-protected
and regular security audits are conducted to ensure that only secured
passwords are used. Public domain hacking software is deployed to test
internal security measures. Audit trails of Internet access and usage
are also kept.
All JimTrade staff, as a condition of employment, are required to adhere
to and practice strict security guidelines in their day-to-day job functions.
An IT Security Policy is in place to ensure that all JimTrade staff are
educated on the importance of confidentiality and security. In addition,
our customers are made aware of our security requirements and are requested
to comply.

| Server Security |
In general, the more customized the machine the less vulnerable the system
becomes. JimTrade uses highly customized Unix-based servers with only
the necessary software and services installed so that they perform the
required EC functions and nothing else. The machines cease to be general-purpose
machines, and their vulnerabilities are greatly reduced.
Accessibility to our servers is restricted to a limited number of authorized
personnel, and passwords are selected based on strict rules. For additional
security, our servers are located in highly secured environments that
offer state-of-the-art physical security.
|
| Web-Based Transactions Security |
JimTrade services make use of login accounts complete with login names
and passwords. In addition, Secure Sockets Layer ("SSL") is
deployed so that transmissions of sensitive password and trading data
occur using encrypted and secure communication channels to prevent eavesdropping
and decoding of information. Transaction information, such as contact
details and VISA numbers, can only be read by authorized Global Sources
web servers.
JimTrade uses SSL that supports 128-bit encryption, the strongest Internet
standard currently in use More details about SSL support can be found
here.

| Important Notice |
While we believe that the security measures which we adopt are consistent
with good and sound industry practice and standards, we (like anyone else)
cannot guarantee that such measures are "perfect", as "perfect
security" does not exist on the Internet.
