Data Security

  • Incident Response Plan: A documented plan for identifying, reporting, and containing data security incidents.

Access Control

Vulnerability Management:

  • Regular Security Assessments: Regularly scanning systems and applications for vulnerabilities and patching them promptly.
  • Secure Software Development: Implementing secure coding practices and secure development lifecycles.
