Trust and Security

Our Commitment

At EPSG, we are deeply committed to employee training, product security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. Our focus is on creating and maintaining services that are inherently reliable and secure. To achieve this, we have invested substantial resources, time, and effort into both developing and continuously maintaining an Information Security Program (ISP) known internally as EPSG SHIELD. This program is designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our services, while also rigorously protecting the privacy of our customers data. 

Overview

EPSG SHIELD incorporates a wide array of security measures across multiple domains. The program includes rigorous Infrastructure Security measures like network segmentation, intrusion detection, and data backup procedures. Our Organizational Security encompasses training programs, confidentiality agreements, background checks, encrypted portable media, anti-malware technology, and more. Product Security is ensured through penetration testing, data encryption, and monitoring procedures. Internal Security procedures involve vulnerability remediation, access reviews, disaster recovery plans, and incident management protocols. Finally, Data and Privacy are safeguarded through comprehensive policies for data deletion, retention, and classification, ensuring compliance with privacy standards. This multifaceted approach ensures robust protection of our systems, products, and customer data against various threats.
