Bchex Website Security Policy

• Encryption in Transit and at Rest: All sensitive data transmitted to and from our Site is encrypted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to prevent interception. Additionally, data at rest is encrypted using advanced encryption standards (e.g., AES-256), ensuring that stored data remains protected.
• Access Controls and Authentication: Access to sensitive data is restricted to authorized personnel based on a "least privilege" principle, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strict role-based access controls (RBAC). User access is regularly reviewed, and adjustments are made as roles or responsibilities change.
• Network Security and Firewalls: We employ robust firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) to monitor and protect against unauthorized access to our Site and network infrastructure. Network traffic is segmented to isolate sensitive data from public-facing systems.
• Regular Security Audits and Vulnerability Management: Bchex conducts routine security audits, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments to proactively identify, assess, and remediate potential security threats. Identified vulnerabilities are addressed promptly based on severity and potential impact.
• Data Minimization and Masking: We adhere to a policy of data minimization, collecting only the information necessary to perform our services. Additionally, where applicable, we use anonymization and data masking techniques to further protect sensitive data.
• Continuous Monitoring and Incident Detection: We maintain continuous monitoring of our systems, employing both automated and manual security tools to detect unusual activity, potential breaches, or system failures. Alerts and notifications are configured to ensure a rapid response to potential incidents.
• Secure Development Practices: Our software development lifecycle incorporates security-by-design principles, code reviews, and regular testing to identify and mitigate security risks before deployment.

• Maintain Credential Confidentiality: Keep login credentials private, do not share them with unauthorized persons, and use strong, unique passwords.
• Secure Access: Access the Site using secure networks and devices, avoiding the use of public or unsecured networks for accessing sensitive information.
• Promptly Report Security Concerns: Immediately notify us of any suspicious activities, security incidents, or potential vulnerabilities encountered while using our Site.

• Activate Incident Response Team (IRT): Upon detection of a security incident, our IRT will be promptly activated to assess, contain, and mitigate the impact of the breach.
• Notification and Communication: Affected users will be notified as soon as possible in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements. We will provide relevant information on the nature of the incident, data affected, and the steps being taken to remediate the situation.
• Containment, Eradication, and Recovery: Our team will work swiftly to contain the incident, eradicate any threats, and restore normal operations while ensuring that data integrity is maintained.
• Post-Incident Review and Improvement: After any security incident, we conduct a thorough analysis to identify the root cause, document lessons learned, and implement any necessary improvements to prevent future occurrences.
