Security

Beyond CSRD is created with security and data protection in mind, in line with industry standards. We understand the importance of protecting user data and being compliant, especially in terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We use advanced security protocols and encrypting techniques to make sure that all data collected, stored and processed is protected from unauthorized users and safe breaches. We regularly review our security setup and update it to ensure that the system is always protected from the latest threats. This includes e.g. keeping up to date with current best practice security principles from OWASP:s recommendations.

Beyond CSRD is fully compliant with GDPR. We have implemented strict data security measures to ensure that all personal information is handled in a legal, fair and transparent way. Users have full control over their data and can demand access to, correct or delete their personal information at all times.

By combining these elements, Beyond CSRD is striving to offer a safe, reliant and compliant solution for handling CSRD-data.

Hosting

Beyond CSRD is hosted at Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a service known for its exceptional reliability. With Service-Level Agreement (SLA) guaranteeing a running time of at least 99,95% we guarantee that our users experience is consistent and trustworthy. Benefits with this solution includes:

Scalability and performance: GCP offers scalability which makes it possible for Beyond CSRD to seamlessly handle varying workloads. This flexibility is crucial to maintain high performance.
Security and compliance: security is of utmost importance, and GCP helps us accomplish this through its advanced security functions. We use Google Cloud Storage for robust data storage and backups, Google Secrets for safe handling of sensitive information, and Google Cloud Armor for protection against cyber threats.

Considering current cyber security and in accordance with data protection law, including GDPR, we admit that no IT-system is completely safe from cyber-attacks. As a proactive step, we’ve therefore implemented audit functions. These functions monitor system activity continuously to identify and document potential data breaches. In the case of an incident, our incident handling plan is immediately activated, safeguarding quick identification, limiting the damage and potential remedies to restore the system’s integrity.
