Security Policy

1Introduction

RankGrids is committed to protecting the security of our systems and your data. This Security Policy outlines the measures we take to safeguard expert rankings, detailed reviews, and side-by-side comparisons.

2Data Encryption

• All data in transit is protected using TLS 1.3 or higher.
• Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using AES-256.
• Cryptographic keys are managed using industry-standard key management practices with regular rotation.

3Access Controls

• Access to production systems follows the principle of least privilege.
• All privileged access requires multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Access rights are reviewed quarterly and revoked promptly upon role change or termination.
• We maintain detailed audit logs of all administrative and privileged actions.

4Infrastructure Security

• Our infrastructure is hosted on SOC 2 Type II certified cloud providers.
• Systems are continuously monitored for security events and anomalies.
• Network traffic is protected by firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and DDoS mitigation.
• We maintain isolated environments for development, staging, and production.

5Application Security

• We follow OWASP secure development guidelines throughout our software development lifecycle.
• Code changes undergo peer review and automated security scanning before deployment.
• Third-party dependencies are regularly audited and updated to address known vulnerabilities.
• We conduct regular penetration testing by independent security professionals.

6Incident Response

• We maintain a documented incident response plan tested at least annually.
• Security incidents are investigated, contained, and resolved following our documented procedures.
• Affected users are notified of data breaches within the timeframes required by applicable law (e.g., 72 hours under GDPR).
• Post-incident reviews are conducted to identify and address root causes.

7Vendor & Third-Party Security

• All third-party vendors with access to our systems or data are subject to security assessments.
• Data processing agreements and appropriate contractual security obligations are in place with all sub-processors.
