How PriviCore Keeps Your Information Safe

How PriviCore Keeps Your Information Safe

September 26, 2024

Our solutions are designed to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, ensuring that information remains safe, accessible, and accurate at all times.

Here’s a look at how we handle data security, and the steps we take to protect your data from the ever-growing threat landscape.

1. Key Objectives

Our approach to data security focuses on three critical pillars:

  • Confidentiality: We make sure that only authorized users can access sensitive information.
  • Integrity: Data is kept accurate and tamper-proof, both in storage and transit.
  • Availability: Authorized users can always access the data they need when they need it.

2. How We Secure Data

PriviCore uses a combination of encryption, access control, and constant monitoring to ensure data remains secure, no matter the threat. Here’s how we do it:

  • Access Control: We use role-based access control (RBAC), which means that users are only given the minimum amount of access needed to do their job. This limits the risk of internal misuse. We also use temporary and long-term authorization tokens that grant secure access to data for specific, controlled periods​.
  • Encryption: All data stored and transmitted through Privicore’s APIs is encrypted using AES-256, ensuring that even if the data is intercepted, it remains unreadable. For added security, we use TLS 1.3 to safeguard data in transit​.
  • Monitoring: We continuously monitor all data access and activity. By using polling mechanisms that check the status of requests in real-time, we can detect and respond to any suspicious activity immediately.

3. Managing Risks

We know that no system is immune to risk, but we take steps to minimize it:

  • External Threats: Whether it’s a hacker, a phishing attempt, or a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, we have systems in place to prevent unauthorized access. Our APIs limit the rate of incoming requests and allow for IP whitelisting to reduce the risk of malicious activity.
  • Internal Threats: Even with trusted users, mistakes can happen. By limiting data access using role-based permissions and continuously reviewing access logs, we reduce the chances of accidental misuse.

4. What Happens If Something Goes Wrong?

In the event of a data breach or security incident, Privicore follows a structured response plan:

  1. Identify: Our monitoring systems will immediately flag any suspicious activity.
  2. Contain: We limit access and isolate the breach to prevent further damage.
  3. Investigate: Our team will analyze the incident, find out what happened, and fix the issue.
  4. Recover: We restore the affected systems and notify any affected parties, as required by law​.

5. Empowering Our Employees

Security starts with people. That’s why Privicore ensures all employees are trained on best practices, from recognizing phishing attempts to securing personal devices. We hold quarterly security training sessions and conduct regular drills to keep security top of mind.

6. Continuous Improvement

Data security isn’t something you “set and forget.” It’s a continuous process, and we’re always looking for ways to improve. Some of our ongoing efforts include:

  • Enhanced Monitoring: We are constantly upgrading our monitoring tools to better track requests and spot potential issues in real-time.
  • Updated Security Tools: We regularly update our encryption protocols and tokenization mechanisms to ensure they meet the latest security standards.
  • Tighter Access Controls: We continually review and adjust access permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive data​.

At PriviCore, keeping your data safe is our top priority. Through a combination of strong encryption, tight access controls, and constant monitoring, we ensure that your data remains protected. But we don’t stop there. We’re committed to continuously improving our security measures so that we can stay ahead of the evolving threats.

Data security is a journey, not a destination—and at PriviCore, we’re in it for the long haul.
