Security Statement

1. Introduction

At YugantarX , security is not just a feature—it's a fundamental part of our company culture and is built into every aspect of our operations and services. We understand that our clients entrust us with their valuable data and systems, and we take this responsibility seriously.

This Security Statement outlines our comprehensive approach to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our clients' information and systems. Our security program is designed to align with industry standards and best practices while being adaptable to the evolving threat landscape.

2. Security Framework

Our security program is built on a comprehensive framework that incorporates multiple industry standards and best practices. This framework provides structure to our security efforts and ensures we address all critical aspects of information security.

2.1 Governance and Risk Management

We maintain a formal security governance structure with clear roles and responsibilities. Our executive leadership is actively involved in security decision-making, and we conduct regular risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential security threats.

2.2 Security Policies and Standards

We have developed and implemented a comprehensive set of security policies and standards that guide our security practices. These documents are regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the threat landscape, regulatory requirements, and business needs.

2.3 Security by Design

We integrate security into our software development lifecycle (SDLC) and system implementation processes. By incorporating security considerations from the earliest stages of design through deployment and operations, we ensure that security is built into our services rather than added as an afterthought.

2.4 Continuous Improvement

We are committed to continuously improving our security posture through regular security assessments, penetration testing, vulnerability management, and staying informed about emerging threats and security best practices.

3. Defense-in-Depth Approach

We employ a defense-in-depth strategy that implements multiple layers of security controls to protect our systems and data. This approach ensures that if one security control fails, others will still provide protection.

4. Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure security measures ensure the reliable and secure operation of our systems and services.

4.1 Cloud Security

We leverage the security capabilities of leading cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) while implementing additional security controls. Our cloud security approach includes:

• Secure cloud architecture design following well-established frameworks (AWS Well-Architected, Azure Well-Architected, etc.)

• Secret management for containerized applications

6. Data Security

Protecting our clients' data is a top priority. Our comprehensive data security program includes:

6.1 Data Classification

We classify data based on sensitivity and implement appropriate security controls for each classification level. This ensures that we apply the right level of protection to different types of data.

6.2 Encryption

We implement encryption for data protection:

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) for data in transit
• Strong encryption algorithms for data at rest
• Key management procedures to safeguard encryption keys
• Field-level encryption for sensitive data elements

6.3 Access Control

We enforce strict access controls following the principle of least privilege:

• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Multi-factor authentication for accessing sensitive systems and data
• Regular access reviews and privilege recertification
• Automated deprovisioning of access when no longer needed

6.4 Data Loss Prevention

We implement data loss prevention measures to prevent unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information:

• Content monitoring and filtering
• Endpoint data protection
• Email security controls
• Secure file transfer mechanisms

6.5 Data Retention and Disposal

We maintain data retention policies that specify how long different types of data should be kept. When data is no longer needed, we ensure secure disposal through appropriate methods, including secure deletion or destruction of physical media.

7. Security Operations

Our security operations team works continuously to monitor, detect, and respond to security events.

7.1 Security Monitoring

We maintain comprehensive security monitoring capabilities:

• 24/7 monitoring of security events
• Security information and event management (SIEM) system
