GSIS Touch Go Mobile! - Get New Mobile Application by GSIS
INTRODUCTION
The Government Service Insurance System, normally denoted as GSIS, refers to a government-owned and controlled insurance corporation in the Philippines that was formed in accordance to the Commonwealth Act No. 186 and republic act No. 8291 with the main agenda of providing a defined benefit scheme to the people in accordance to the Law. The corporation provides its members with various social security benefits, including life insurance, disability benefits, and retirement or separation benefits.
As part of a strategy of adapting to modern times and countering the safety concern and safety concern restrictions which were brought about by the outbreak of the COVID-19, the corporation developed an app known as GSIS Touch mobile application to enable its clients to continue accessing the corporation's convenient services even from home.
FEATURES
The app features:
1. Three service nodes, including the eGSISMO (mobile version), the directory of GSIS Branches, and above all, the GGIS Citizen's Charter.
2. Membership profile.
3. Service records.
4. Premium payments.
5. Statement of loan accounts.
FUNCTIONS OF THE APP
The GSIS Touch mobile application allows active governmental employees in the Philippines to:
View their service records and service profiles.
Keep track of their loan payments and premium remittances.
Acknowledge the maturity of their retirement dividends, Edu-Child claims, insurance policies, pre-need plans, and retirement refunds.
View the release of their monthly pensions and loan payments, especially for retired government employees.
The GSIS Touch mobile app also features the GSIS Citizen Charter, which contains all turnaround times and step-by-step guides for GSIS processes and transactions and a directory to all the organization's nationwide branches.
On the other hand, the application also allows GSIS vehicle insurance policyholders to submit and send photos of their insurance claims and motor accidents through their cell phones.
BENEFITS OF THE GSIS TOUCH MOBILE APP
The GSIS Touch Mobile application has several benefits, which includes:
Full-spectrum protection against DDoS.
Visibility and Control into Web traffic.
Secure and reliable applications
THE SECURITY OF THE GSIS TOUCH MOBILE APP
The GSIS Touch Mobile App is protected with the F5s web application firewall (WAF) networks. The F5 networks allow the corporation to secure the app and provide the management with a comprehensive view of useful insights such as the website traffic, historical data, and a complete analysis of the system. It also protects the app against the DDoS attacks with a multi-layered defense of sub-second attack detections and instant mitigations in inline modes.
An insight into the Web Traffic of the app.
According to the corporation, approximately 20000 members access the application each day. The corporation manages this large inbound traffic, including unique IPs, attack blocks, and number sessions with the F5 networks. The network also provides the corporation with efficient and interesting analytics such as how many users access the app at that particular time, the previous night, the previous day, and the whole month combined. This form of analysis plays a great role in helping the corporation make projections.
ACCESS
Based on the fact that Section 3 of RA No 8291 dictates that GSIS is compulsory for all governmental employees receiving compensation, the mobile app is also accessible to all those members in the exception of the members of the armed forces and Philippine National Police and members of the judiciary who have life insurance and all social security protections as dictated under RA No 8291. Therefore it's key to note that any individual based in the Philippines who is eligible for pension can access the app from their phones irrespective of the employment status.
