Guard35, a service of Software Consulting Services, LLC, is dedicated to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers’ information and systems. This Security Policy outlines the measures we take to protect data and ensure trust in our services.

Our Security Commitments

• Access Control: We follow least-privilege principles and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on all administrative systems.
• Monitoring & Detection: Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity, with real-time alerts and incident response processes in place.
• Data Handling: Customer data is logically separated and never shared between tenants. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest where supported.
• Vulnerability Management: We apply timely security patches and updates across infrastructure and supported endpoints.
• Incident Response: We maintain formal incident response playbooks and notify affected customers promptly if a security event occurs.
• Third-Party Providers: We review and contractually require service providers to meet appropriate security standards.

• Following recommended practices for password management and user awareness.

Continuous Improvement

We align our practices to industry frameworks such as NIST Cybersecurity Framework and CIS Controls. Our policies are reviewed regularly and updated as threats evolve.
