Data Privacy and Protection
At Relisc Corporation, we understand the critical importance of maintaining privacy and confidentiality for each client’s data. To ensure that data remains fully isolated, we implement a strict data segregation policy whereby each client’s data is encrypted with its own unique encryption key. This ensures that only authorized users associated with each client can access their data, providing a robust layer of security that prevents any crossover access between clients.
Data encryption is managed with the highest industry standards, protecting all data both at rest and in transit using AES-256 encryption and TLS 1.3, respectively. This means that client data is safeguarded from unauthorized access at every stage, regardless of how or where it is stored or transmitted.
To further protect sensitive information, we maintain rigorous access control policies and procedures that limit internal access to client data to the minimum necessary for operational purposes. Access requests are reviewed thoroughly, and access is only granted to personnel who require it to perform specific tasks. Additionally, we conduct regular access reviews to confirm that only the minimum necessary data is accessed, adhering to the principles of least privilege.
These data privacy protocols, combined with continuous monitoring and auditing, reinforce our commitment to safeguarding client information. By maintaining strict data separation, encryption, and access control measures, Relisc Corporation provides clients with peace of mind, knowing their data is secure, private, and handled with the utmost integrity.
Security Features
Data Encryption.
At Relisc Corporation, we prioritize data protection through stringent encryption protocols, safeguarding all client information from unauthorized access. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit, ensuring its security throughout its lifecycle. For data at rest, we utilize AES-256 encryption, an industry-standard algorithm known for its robust, government-grade security. This means that data stored in databases, storage services, and backups is protected by one of the most secure encryption standards available today.
For data in transit, we employ TLS 1.3 encryption to secure all data transfers across networks, including between client devices, our applications, and AWS services. TLS (Transport Layer Security) establishes a secure connection, preventing interception or tampering with sensitive information. By combining these encryption methods, we ensure that client data is secure, whether it’s being stored or transmitted.
Access Management
Access to sensitive data and resources at Relisc Corporation is tightly controlled using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies. IAM allows us to define granular permissions for each user, service, and application, ensuring that individuals only have access to the resources they need to perform their roles. We follow the principle of least privilege, meaning permissions are granted conservatively and reviewed regularly to maintain optimal security.
Our IAM policies are carefully designed to limit access based on role, function, and purpose, preventing unnecessary exposure to sensitive data. In addition, we leverage AWS features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), access logging, and conditional access policies to add layers of security. AWS’s robust access management capabilities provide the flexibility and control needed to secure client data while facilitating smooth operations within our secure environment.
API Security
Relisc Corporation’s APIs, managed through AWS API Gateway, are built with security as a foundational priority. Every API is protected by strict authentication protocols to ensure that only authorized users can access or interact with sensitive data. We enforce secure integrations with services like AWS Cognito for authentication, allowing us to confirm user identities through secure tokens and implement granular access control at every endpoint.
In addition to authentication, our APIs are protected by AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF), which guards against common web vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. This layered security approach ensures that our APIs remain resilient against attacks while providing clients with a seamless, secure experience when interacting with our services.
