The Post Modern Union: Our website address is: https://yourunion.ca. We are a volunteer run virtual organization. The website domain is hosted in Canada and we use the following strategies for implementing appropriate security standards against loss, theft, copying, modification, disclosure, unauthorized access, or use.
Encryption: Implement strong encryption techniques to protect sensitive data. This can involve encrypting data at rest (stored data) and data in transit (data being transmitted over networks).
Access Control: Utilize access control mechanisms to ensure that only authorized individuals have access to sensitive information. This can include implementing strong authentication mechanisms (e.g., passwords, multi-factor authentication), role-based access control, and least privilege principles (granting users only the access they need to perform their tasks).
Regular Security Audits: Conduct regular assessments and audits of security systems and practices to identify vulnerabilities and potential weaknesses. This can involve penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security code reviews.
Security Awareness Training: Educate volunteers and users about security best practices, potential threats, and their role in maintaining security. This can help prevent common security risks such as social engineering attacks and phishing attempts.
Incident Response Plan: We have an incident response plan to effectively handle security incidents and breaches. This includes defining roles and responsibilities, establishing communication channels, and implementing procedures for containment, eradication, and recovery.
Secure Software Development: WordPress and WordPress plugins use secure coding practices and conduct regular security testing during the software development lifecycle. This helps identify and patch vulnerabilities before deploying applications and systems.
Data Backup and Recovery: Implement regular backups and off-site storage of critical data to mitigate the impact of data loss due to theft, natural disasters, or system failures. Additionally, regularly test data restoration processes to ensure they are effective.
Security Updates and Patch Management: We keep software and systems up to date with the latest security patches and updates. This helps protect against known vulnerabilities and exploits.
Physical Security Measures: Our Hosting company has implemented physical security controls such as secure access to premises, video surveillance, and proper disposal of sensitive information (e.g., shredding).
