Availability, confidentiality & integrity

We work to 3 core principles of information security:

- Availability
- Confidentiality
- Integrity  

“Availability” means we have a clear data redundancy process to keep your network in service in the event of failure

“Confidentiality” means our employees all undergo comprehensive data privacy training, with sophisticated supply chain management and a clear data retention policy

“Integrity” means we have crucial data backups in place, protecting sensitive data with encryption, and comprehensive staff training to keep your information secure

Compliance & GDPR

This means we’ll only process your data where it’s necessary for the purposes of legitimate interest. We strictly adhere to data protection laws and utilise annual reviews to ensure we’re consistently compliant. We also employ regular external audits, with annual penetration tests and quarterly CISO cyber security audits
