Data Security Policy

At Elves Core Solutions (Pvt) Ltd., we are committed to ensuring the security and confidentiality of all data entrusted to us by our clients, employees, and partners. This Data Security Policy outlines the measures we implement to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

1. Data Classification

We classify data based on its sensitivity and importance to our business operations. This classification helps us determine the appropriate level of security controls and access permissions.

• Confidential Data: Information that is highly sensitive and requires the highest level of protection, such as personal identifiable information (PII), financial data, and trade secrets.

• Internal Data: Information related to our internal operations and processes, which should be handled with care to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.

• Public Data: Information that is intended for public consumption and does not contain sensitive or confidential information.

2. Access Control

We implement access controls to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive data.

• User Authentication: Users are required to authenticate their identity through secure methods such as passwords, biometrics, or multi-factor authentication (MFA).

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Access permissions are assigned based on users’ roles and responsibilities within the organization. Users are granted access only to the data and resources necessary for their job functions.

• Access Logging and Monitoring: We maintain logs of user access activities and regularly monitor for any unauthorized access attempts or suspicious activities.

3. Data Encryption

We use encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest.

• Transport Layer Security (TLS): We encrypt data transmitted over networks using TLS protocols to prevent interception or eavesdropping.

• Data Encryption at Rest: Data stored on servers, databases, and other storage devices is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access in case of physical or cyber breaches.

4. Data Backup and Recovery

We regularly back up data to ensure its availability and integrity in case of data loss or corruption.

• Scheduled Backups: We perform regular backups of critical data according to predefined schedules to minimize the risk of data loss.

• Offsite Storage: Backup copies of data are stored in secure offsite locations to protect against disasters such as fire, flood, or theft.

• Data Recovery Procedures: We have documented procedures in place to facilitate the timely recovery of data in the event of a system failure or data breach.

5. Employee Training and Awareness

We provide comprehensive training to our employees to ensure they understand their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding data.

• Security Awareness Training: Employees receive regular training on data security best practices, including how to identify and respond to security threats such as phishing attacks or malware.

• Policies and Procedures: Employees are required to adhere to company policies and procedures related to data security and privacy.

6. Compliance and Auditing

We adhere to relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards governing data security and privacy.

• Regulatory Compliance: We comply with applicable data protection regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, depending on the nature of the data we handle.

• Regular Audits and Assessments: We conduct regular internal and external audits to assess our data security controls and ensure compliance with established standards and regulations.

7. Incident Response

In the event of a data security incident or breach, we have established procedures in place to promptly respond and mitigate the impact.

• Incident Reporting: Employees are required to report any suspected or actual security incidents to the designated security team or management.

• Incident Investigation: We conduct thorough investigations to determine the cause and extent of the incident and take appropriate remedial actions.

• Notification: If required by law or regulation, we notify affected individuals and relevant authorities of any data breaches in a timely manner.

8. Continuous Improvement

We continuously monitor and update our data security practices to adapt to evolving threats and technologies.

• Security Reviews: We regularly review and update our data security policies, procedures, and controls to address emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
