Principle of Least Privilege: Access to all client and personal data is restricted on a need-to-know basis (Role-Based Access Control). Mentorship staff cannot access client business performance data, and vice versa.
Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): All employees, contractors, and affiliates who handle Confidential Client Data are bound by strict contractual NDAs.

Encryption: All sensitive data, including client passwords, proprietary documents, and payment details, is stored using AES-256 encryption at rest. Data is transmitted over the internet using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/Transport Layer Security (TLS) to ensure encryption in transit.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA is required for all internal accounts and platforms that host sensitive data, adding an extra layer of security beyond passwords.
C. Infrastructure and Incident Response
Secure Cloud Hosting: We utilize compliant, reputable cloud service providers (e.g., Google Workspace) that adhere to industry-standard security certifications.
Regular Audits and Updates: Our systems are regularly patched and audited for security vulnerabilities, and we maintain an Incident Response Plan to quickly contain and mitigate any potential data breach.
