3. Data Protection
3.1 Data Classification
We classify and protect data based on sensitivity levels:
- Public: Marketing materials, public documentation
- Internal: Business operations data, non-sensitive analytics
- Confidential: Customer data, vulnerability findings, business secrets
- Restricted: Authentication credentials, encryption keys, PII
3.2 Data Residency
Customer data is stored in geographically distributed data centers:
United States
PrimaryEuropean Union
Asia Pacific
3.3 Data Lifecycle Management

- Processing: Encrypted processing with access logging
- Storage: Encrypted at rest with regular backup and disaster recovery testing
- Retention: Automated data retention policies based on legal requirements
- Disposal: Secure data destruction following NIST standards
4. Incident Response
Our incident response process ensures rapid detection, containment, and resolution:
