Security is a critical component of Beacon Products and services. Robust security offers many benefits, including data privacy, data storage, and the accurate processing of information. Beacon security aims to secure the collection (transfer) of data, safe storage, data management, data processing, and platform uptime. A security posture of this nature requires uniformity in systems and a holistic security philosophy in how Beacon implements and maintains a strong program in products and services.
The Beacon security philosophy leverages a layered defense approach to security. The security program establishes:
A security posture focused on a comprehensive security solution, providing controls that complement each other to narrow the system attack surface and limit or control system risks.
Evaluates the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all system resources to identify areas of increased risk.
Establishes a baseline of best-in-class security controls designed to reduce risk and manage Beacon systems, including technical, physical, and operational controls.
This comprehensive approach provides a foundational risk management program that identifies a baseline security posture, establishes regular monitoring and maintenance of said program, and a controlled management approach for maintaining that program over time. With the persistent nature of adversaries in the environment, it is critical to establish a program that can continue to grow and mature over time. It is imperative that Beacon security includes proactive methods to mitigate emerging threats from a data governance standpoint and establishes mechanisms that actively protect against such threats.
