- How We Protect Your Information
At Bridge Research Consulting, we take a multi-layered approach to protecting your personal data. Here are some of the security measures we employ to keep your information safe:- Data Encryption: We use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect sensitive information (e.g., payment details) during transmission. This encryption ensures that your data is secure and unreadable by unauthorized parties.
- Secure Storage: Your data is stored on secure servers protected by firewalls, regular security audits, and advanced encryption protocols. We also employ access control mechanisms, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access your personal information.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): To prevent unauthorized access, we implement MFA for our systems, requiring multiple forms of authentication to gain access to your data.
- Regular Security Audits: We conduct ongoing security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain the integrity of our systems and ensure compliance with the latest data protection regulations.
