Security at Dataclay

We have an Information Security Program in place that is communicated throughout the organization. Our Information Security Program follows the criteria set forth by the SOC 2 Framework. SOC 2 is a widely known information security auditing procedure created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

Roles and responsibilities related to our Information Security Program and the protection of our customer’s data are well defined and documented. Our team members are required to review and accept all of the security policies.

Our organization undergoes independent third-party assessments to test our security and compliance controls.

All team members are required to sign and adhere to an industry standard confidentiality agreement prior to their first day of work.

We perform background checks on all new team members in accordance with local laws.

All of our services are hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). They employ a robust security program with multiple certifications. For more information on our providers' security processes, please visit AWS Security and GCP Security.

We perform quarterly access reviews of all team members with access to sensitive systems.

All team members are required to adhere to a minimum set of password requirements and complexity for access.

All team members utilize a password manager to manage passwords and maintain password complexity.
