Last Updated: November 21, 2025

At Seravolentix, we are committed to protecting the security and integrity of your information. This Security Policy outlines the measures we implement to safeguard your data and maintain a secure environment for our online group services.

Information Security Framework

We have established a comprehensive information security framework designed to protect all data processed through our platform. Our security practices are aligned with industry standards and continuously updated to address emerging threats.

Security Principles

Confidentiality: Ensuring information is accessible only to authorized individuals
Integrity: Maintaining accuracy and completeness of data
Availability: Ensuring authorized users have access when needed
Accountability: Tracking and logging security-relevant activities

Data Protection Measures

Encryption

We employ industry-standard encryption protocols to protect your data both in transit and at rest:

All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher
Sensitive data stored in our databases is encrypted using AES-256 encryption
Encryption keys are managed securely and rotated regularly
Payment information is processed through encrypted channels and never stored on our servers

Access Controls

We implement strict access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive information:

Role-based access control limiting data access to job requirements
Multi-factor authentication for administrative and privileged accounts
Regular review and revocation of access permissions
Principle of least privilege applied across all systems
Automated session timeout for inactive accounts

Authentication Security

We protect user accounts through robust authentication practices:

Strong password requirements with minimum complexity standards
Protection against brute force attacks through rate limiting
Secure password reset mechanisms with verification steps
Optional multi-factor authentication for enhanced account security
Monitoring for suspicious login activity and unauthorized access attempts

Infrastructure Security
