Last updated: January 15, 2025
Version 1.0

At BrainGrid, security is fundamental to everything we do. This policy outlines our comprehensive approach to protecting your data, our infrastructure, and maintaining the trust you place in us.

1. Security Principles

Our security program is built on four core principles:

  • Defense in Depth: Multiple layers of security controls to protect against various threat vectors
  • Least Privilege: Access granted only as needed for specific roles and responsibilities
  • Zero Trust: Continuous verification of all users, devices, and applications
  • Continuous Monitoring: Real-time threat detection and response capabilities

2. Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure is designed with security at its core:

  • All services hosted in SOC 2 compliant data centers
  • End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
  • Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS protection
  • Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for cryptographic operations

3. Data Protection

Encryption Standards

  • AES-256 encryption for data at rest
  • TLS 1.3 for all data in transit
  • RSA-4096 for key exchange
  • Regular key rotation and management

Data Classification

We classify data based on sensitivity and apply appropriate controls:

  • Public: Information intended for public consumption
  • Internal: Non-sensitive business information
  • Confidential: Sensitive business and customer data
  • Restricted: Highly sensitive data requiring maximum protection

4. Access Control

We implement strict access controls to protect your data:

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) required for all accounts
  • Role-based access control (RBAC) with regular reviews
  • Automated de-provisioning for terminated employees
  • Privileged access management (PAM) for administrative accounts
