Our third party risk program includes evaluation and risk assessment of our third party processors and vendors. We require all third party providers to hold appropriate levels of security standards.

As part of our personnel security, we run background checks on all employees. We follow the principle of least privilege through role-based access. We require MFA for all employees, no matter their rank or responsibility.

We continuously monitor our environment to detect anomalies and protect company assets with anti-malware solutions installed on all endpoints.
