Data Security Policy
1. Access Controls:
– Access to Solid Performers CRM is governed by strict access controls adhering to the principles of Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Every access attempt is thoroughly authenticated and authorized based on user roles and permissions.
– Multi-factor authentication (MFA) utilizing a combination of factors such as biometrics, and token-based authentication is mandated for all user accounts to fortify access security.
– Access privileges are dynamically adjusted based on contextual factors such as user behavior, device posture, and network location, ensuring continuous adaptive protection.
2. Infrastructure:
– Solid Performers CRM leverages a hybrid cloud architecture, utilizing a combination of public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises resources. This approach provides flexibility, scalability, and resilience while maintaining strict control over sensitive data.
– Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles are adopted to automate the provisioning, configuration, and management of infrastructure resources, minimizing manual errors and enhancing security posture through consistency and repeatability.
3. Encryption:
– End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is enforced for all data transmissions within Solid Performers CRM, including communication between client devices and server endpoints. Strong encryption algorithms such as AES-256 are utilized to safeguard data confidentiality.
– Key management practices adhere to the guidelines outlined in the NIST Special Publication 800-57, ensuring secure generation, distribution, storage, and rotation of cryptographic keys.
4. Data Backups:
– Solid Performers CRM implements a multi-tiered backup strategy encompassing both synchronous and asynchronous replication techniques across geographically dispersed data centers.
– Backup integrity is verified through regular automated audits and cryptographic hashing techniques to detect any tampering or unauthorized alterations.
– In addition to regular backups, immutable backup snapshots utilizing technologies such as AWS S3 Object Lock are maintained to protect against ransomware attacks and data manipulation attempts.
5. Database Redundancy:
– Solid Performers CRM employs a distributed database architecture with built-in shading and partitioning mechanisms to distribute data across multiple nodes for horizontal scalability and fault tolerance.
– Active-active database clusters are implemented to enable seamless load balancing and failover capabilities across geographically distributed regions, ensuring high availability and resilience against regional outages.
6. Audit Trails and Logging:
– Granular audit logging is implemented at the application, network, and infrastructure layers to capture detailed information about all system activities, including read/write operations, configuration changes, and security-related events.
– Centralized log aggregation and analysis platforms, such as Splunk or ELK Stack, are utilized to correlate and analyze log data in real-time, enabling proactive threat detection, incident response, and forensic investigations.
7. Compliance:
– Solid Performers CRM maintains compliance with a comprehensive set of international standards and regulatory frameworks, including ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and GDPR.
– Continuous monitoring and auditing mechanisms are employed to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and industry best practices, with regular third-party assessments and certifications conducted by accredited auditors.
8. Training and Awareness:
– A continuous security awareness program is established to educate all personnel, from executives to front-line staff, on the latest cyber threats, attack vectors, and security best practices.
– Interactive training modules, simulated phishing exercises, and role-based security training curriculums are delivered through a variety of mediums, including e-learning platforms, workshops, and awareness campaigns.
9. Incident Response Plan:
– Solid Performers CRM maintains a comprehensive Incident Response Plan (IRP) aligned with the guidelines outlined in the NIST Special Publication 800-61, encompassing preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned phases.
– An incident response team comprising cross-functional stakeholders from IT, security, legal, compliance, and executive leadership is designated to coordinate and execute response activities in a timely and effective manner.
– Regular tabletop exercises and red team simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the IRP, identify gaps in response capabilities, and refine incident response procedures based on lessons learned.
