Introduction

BioSport Health Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) is dedicated to ensuring the security of patient data. This Security Policy describes the measures we have in place to protect patient data from unauthorized access, breaches, and other threats. Our goal is to maintain the highest standards of data security to safeguard patient information and comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

1. Encryption

We use advanced encryption techniques to protect patient data both in transit and at rest. This ensures that data is secure when being transmitted over networks and when stored on our servers.

1.1 Data in Transit

Secure Protocols: We use secure protocols such as HTTPS and TLS to encrypt data during transmission, preventing interception by unauthorized parties.

VPNs: For internal communications, we employ Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to further ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data.

1.2 Data at Rest

Database Encryption: All patient data stored in our databases is encrypted using industry-standard encryption algorithms.

Disk Encryption: We use full disk encryption on all servers and storage devices to protect data at rest.

2. Access Controls

Access to patient data is restricted to authorized personnel only. We implement strict access controls, including:

2.1 Authentication

Strong Password Policies: We enforce strong password policies that require complex passwords, regular password changes, and the prohibition of password reuse.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): All personnel accessing patient data must use multi-factor authentication to enhance security.

2.2 Role-Based Access

Role-Based Permissions: Access permissions are granted based on the role and responsibilities of the personnel. Employees only have access to the data necessary for their specific job functions.

Least Privilege Principle: We adhere to the principle of least privilege, ensuring that employees have the minimum level of access required to perform their duties.

5.1 Detection

Monitoring Systems: We use advanced monitoring systems and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to continuously monitor for potential breaches or security incidents.

Alerting Mechanisms: Automated alerting mechanisms notify our security team immediately upon detecting suspicious activities.

5.2 Response

Containment: Immediate action is taken to contain and mitigate the impact of any breach, including isolating affected systems and preventing further unauthorized access.

Affected Individuals: We inform affected individuals promptly in accordance with legal requirements and provide guidance on steps they can take to protect themselves.

Regulatory Authorities: We notify relevant regulatory authorities as required by law and cooperate fully with their investigations.
