How Does Privacy Bee Secure my Data?

Introduction:


In today's digital world, data security is a top priority for individuals and organizations. Protecting sensitive data from unauthorized access, loss, or breaches is essential to maintaining privacy, compliance, and trust. This article explores key security practices used to store and secure data effectively.


1. Data Encryption:


Encryption ensures that data is unreadable to unauthorized users by converting it into a coded format.


  • For security, all connectivity to our platform requires SHA-256 TLS with HSTS turned on. All client data is stored encrypted in flight and at rest, with an RSA-2048 modulus and SHA-256 certificates.
  • We fully support SSO/SAML 2.0 for our business accounts.
  • Plus, we're AICPA SOC 2 Type II certified.


2. Access Control and Authentication:


Restricting access to data ensures that only authorized users can view or modify it. Best practices include:


  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assigns permissions based on user roles.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Requires additional verification steps beyond passwords.
  • Least Privilege Principle: Grants users the minimum level of access necessary to perform their tasks.


3. Regular Data Backups.


4. Secure Storage Solutions:


  • Privacy Bee collects and holds as little data as necessary.
  • We have extensive security policies and incident response protocols, built and maintained by licensed InfoSec experts.


5. Monitoring and Logging:


A fully passwordless platform with SSO or MFA is mandatory for every login.


6. Compliance and Security Policies:


  • Monthly penetration tests are conducted by an external 3rd party security firm.
  • Continuous code scanning by a 3rd party security and exploit detection system.


7. Employee Training and Awareness:


  • All Privacy Bee employees are extensively trained in modern Cyber Security and External Data Privacy best practices.
  • Continuous monitoring of the dark web and surface web for all Privacy Bee employees.
  • Daily scans of every Privacy Bee phone number for spoofing or compromise.


Conclusion:


Securing data requires a multi-layered approach, combining encryption, access control, backups, monitoring, compliance, and employee awareness. By implementing these best practices, organizations can protect sensitive information from cyber threats and ensure data integrity.
