Last updated: May 10, 2025

BPS Compliance Notice

This policy is written in accordance with the ByteBrush Policy Standard (BPS v1.0).

1. Introduction

At ByteBrush Studios, we take security seriously. This Security Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your data and our systems from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction.

We implement a comprehensive security program designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data and our services.

2. Our Security Principles

Defense in Depth

We implement multiple layers of security controls throughout our infrastructure to provide redundant protection.

Least Privilege

Access to data and systems is restricted to only what is necessary for an individual to perform their job.

Secure by Design

Security is integrated throughout our development process, not added as an afterthought.

Data Protection

We encrypt data both in transit and at rest to prevent unauthorized access.

3. Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure is designed with security as a primary consideration:

  • Cloud Security: We utilize leading cloud providers with robust security certifications and compliance attestations.
  • Network Security: Our network architecture includes firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular vulnerability scanning.
  • Server Hardening: All servers follow industry best practices for security hardening, including regular patching and updates.
  • Monitoring: We maintain continuous monitoring for suspicious activities and security events.

4. Application Security

We follow secure coding practices throughout our development process:

  • Secure Development Lifecycle: Security is integrated into each phase of our development process, from design to deployment.
  • Code Review: All code undergoes peer review with a focus on security implications.
  • Security Testing: We conduct regular security assessments, including static and dynamic application security testing.
  • Vulnerability Management: We have a defined process for identifying, tracking, and remediating security vulnerabilities.

5. Data Security

Protecting your data is our highest priority:

  • Encryption: We use industry-standard encryption protocols to protect data in transit and at rest.
  • Data Classification: We classify data based on sensitivity to ensure appropriate protection measures.
  • Access Controls: Access to sensitive data is restricted based on the principle of least privilege.
  • Data Retention: We retain data only for as long as necessary and securely dispose of it when no longer needed.

6. Authentication and Access Management

We implement strong authentication and access controls:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication: MFA is required for access to sensitive systems and data.
  • Strong Password Policies: We enforce strong password requirements and regular password rotation.
  • Role-Based Access Control: Access permissions are assigned based on job responsibilities.
  • Access Review: We regularly review and audit user access to ensure continued appropriateness.

7. Incident Response

We have established procedures for responding to security incidents:

  • Incident Response Plan: We maintain a documented incident response plan that is regularly tested and updated.
  • Response Team: Our dedicated security team is trained to respond to various types of security incidents.
  • Notification Procedures: We will notify affected parties in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
  • Post-Incident Analysis: We conduct thorough analyses of security incidents to prevent recurrence.

8. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

We have plans in place to ensure service continuity:

  • Backup Procedures: Regular backups of critical data are performed and stored securely.
  • Disaster Recovery: We maintain documented disaster recovery procedures that are regularly tested.
  • Redundancy: Critical systems have built-in redundancy to minimize service disruptions.
  • Resilience Testing: We regularly test our resilience capabilities to ensure effectiveness.

9. Security Awareness and Training

We promote a security-conscious culture:

  • Security Training: All staff receive regular security awareness training.
  • Phishing Simulations: We conduct regular phishing simulations to test and reinforce awareness.
  • Security Guidelines: Clear security guidelines are provided to all employees.
  • Continuous Education: Our security team stays current with emerging threats and best practices.

10. Third-Party Risk Management

We carefully assess the security of our partners and vendors:

  • Vendor Assessment: We perform security assessments of vendors before engagement.
  • Contractual Requirements: Security requirements are included in vendor contracts.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: We regularly review the security posture of our vendors.
  • Limited Access: Third-party access to our systems is strictly controlled and monitored.

11. Compliance

We adhere to relevant industry standards and regulations:

  • Regulatory Compliance: We comply with applicable laws and regulations related to data protection and security.
  • Industry Standards: Our security program aligns with industry frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, and CIS Controls.
  • Regular Audits: We undergo regular security audits and assessments.
  • Certifications: We maintain relevant security certifications based on our business needs.
