Introduction
At Sogolytics, protecting the privacy, confidentiality, and availability of your data is one of our most important commitments. We recognize that security is not just a regulatory requirement but the foundation of customer trust. From hosting in secure, industry-leading data centers to undergoing regular independent audits and certifications, we align with the strictest global standards, including ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS v4.1 (SAQ A-EP), HIPAA, FERPA, and GDPR.
Our security practices extend beyond compliance. We continuously monitor threats around the clock, train our employees extensively, and embed security principles at every stage of system design, development, and operations.
balance
Security Governance
Our security program is led by a dedicated security team reporting directly to executive leadership. We maintain a security steering committee that reviews policies, risk posture, and program effectiveness on a quarterly basis.
Annual risk assessments are conducted to identify, evaluate, and mitigate potential threats to our systems and customer data. Findings are tracked through remediation and reported to leadership until resolved.

Data Security
Protecting your survey data is a top priority. We employ multiple layers of defense:
Encryption
Data in Transit: All communications are encrypted using HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols.
Data at Rest: All customer data stored in our systems is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
Key Management: Encryption keys are managed using enterprise-grade key management systems with strict access controls and comprehensive auditing.
Infrastructure Protection
Our infrastructure employs next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and web application firewall (WAF) technologies to defend against malicious traffic and common web exploits. Administrative access to systems is tightly controlled and monitored through secure, auditable remote access solutions. A centralized monitoring and alerting platform provides continuous visibility into system activity, enabling rapid detection and response to potential threats.

24/7 on-site security personnel and monitoring

User Security
Every user account is protected with a unique ID and password that are securely stored using industry-standard hashing algorithms. To strengthen authentication, multi-factor authentication (MFA) is available for all accounts. Sessions are managed with secure tokens that expire automatically, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
Customer Security Controls
Administrators have access to the following security features to protect their accounts:
IP allowlisting to restrict account access to approved networks
Inactive session timeout policies
Custom password complexity requirements
Password expiry
Multi-factor authentication
Access to data is controlled through a role-based access model, ensuring users can only view or manage information appropriate to their responsibilities. We support Single Sign-On (SSO) integration with major identity providers, making authentication both seamless and secure. All access is logged and monitored, and anomalies are flagged for immediate review.
lock
Privacy and Data Ownership
We maintain a comprehensive Privacy Policy that provides transparency on how data is collected, processed, retained, and shared. Key commitments include:
Full Data Ownership: Customers retain complete ownership of their data and can export it at any time in multiple formats.
No Third-Party Sales: Customer data is never sold to third parties.
AI/ML Training: Customer data is not used for AI or machine learning training without explicit written consent.
Data Processing Agreement
A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available upon request for customers requiring documented contractual commitments under GDPR and other privacy regulations.
home_storage
Data Retention
We maintain clear data retention policies to ensure customer data is handled appropriately throughout its lifecycle:
Active Account Data: Retained for the duration of the subscription.
Closed Accounts: When you close your account, your data is retained securely for a limited period to allow recovery, then permanently deleted.
Backups: Retained for 6 months for security and compliance purposes.
Deletion Requests: Processed within 30 days of verified request receipt.
language
Data Residency
All customer data is hosted in secure, geographically distributed data centers within the United States. These facilities are built with redundancy and resilience to ensure availability, and they undergo regular third-party audits to confirm compliance with globally recognized standards.
For international customers, we utilize Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and other approved transfer mechanisms to ensure lawful cross-border data flows in compliance with GDPR and other applicable regulations.
description
Regulatory Compliance
Sogolytics complies with major international and U.S. data protection standards:
GDPR: We support customer rights including access, correction, deletion, and portability of personal data.
HIPAA: For healthcare customers, we maintain HIPAA-aligned safeguards to protect Protected Health Information (PHI).
FERPA: For educational institutions, we comply with FERPA requirements, ensuring student records are secured and handled appropriately.

System Reliability
We understand that service availability is critical. Our systems are designed for resilience:
99.9% Uptime SLA - Equivalent to less than 9 hours of unscheduled downtime annually.
Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 4 hours - Maximum time to restore service after an incident.
Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 15 minutes - Maximum data loss window in a disaster scenario.
Disaster Recovery: Capabilities are built into our infrastructure with failovers across multiple geographic sites. Annual disaster recovery drills validate our preparedness.
business_center
Business Continuity
We maintain a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) that is tested annually. Critical business functions can continue during disruptions through geographic distribution, redundant systems, and documented procedures. Our BCP addresses scenarios including natural disasters, infrastructure failures, and pandemic conditions.
credit_score
Credit Card Security
Sogolytics does not store credit cards or payment details in its environment. All financial transactions are processed through a PCI DSS v4.1-certified payment processor. By ensuring that cardholder data never enters our core systems, we minimize risk and remain compliant with payment industry requirements.
code_xml
Secure Development Practices
We follow a DevSecOps approach grounded in a secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), embedding security from design through deployment.
Code Security
Code is continuously reviewed and validated via automated and manual methods, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) alongside unit and integration tests. Our coding practices align with OWASP Top 10 and ASVS guidelines.
Deployment Controls
All changes pass peer review and gated CI/CD controls including branch protections, signed builds, secrets scanning, and policy-as-code. We implement environment-specific approvals, progressive delivery, and rollback capability. Vulnerabilities are triaged with defined SLAs, and pipelines enforce fail-fast policies for critical findings before promotion to production.

Audit Logging and Monitoring
Sogolytics maintains a centralized logging and monitoring program to ensure visibility, accountability, and rapid detection of security events.
Security-relevant logs are collected from application components, infrastructure, authentication systems, and network controls and are centrally aggregated into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform.
Logs include authentication attempts, access to customer data, administrative actions, and system events. All logs are time-synchronized, protected from unauthorized modification, and retained in accordance with our log retention policy.
A dedicated 24×7 Security Operations Center (SOC) monitors security alerts and investigates anomalous activity. Confirmed incidents are handled in accordance with our documented Incident Response Plan, including containment, remediation, and post-incident review.
warning
Incident Response and Breach Notification
We maintain a documented Incident Response Plan (IRP) and Breach Response Plan with clearly defined responsibilities and escalation paths. Our systems are monitored continuously to detect and contain threats quickly.
Notification Commitment
In the event of a confirmed security incident or breach involving personal data, we commit to notifying affected customers within 72 hours, consistent with GDPR and other applicable laws. Following an incident, we provide customers with a post-incident report detailing the impact, root cause, and remediation measures.
Security Breach Protocol
In case of a breach, our priority is immediate containment and mitigation. We initiate investigation procedures, preserve forensic evidence, and take corrective actions to restore services securely. Affected customers are notified promptly, and full transparency is maintained throughout the process.
