Security & compliance

Most firms say “confidential.” We publish how.

A claim file holds medical details, statements, and surveillance of identifiable people. Treating it casually is a legal exposure for you and for us. Here is the control set — the same one our own portal enforces.

TLS 1.2+

Encrypted in transit

Every submission, upload, and delivery moves over TLS. Claim material never travels by open email — intake happens on this site, exchange happens in the portal.

AES-256

Encrypted at rest

Case files, media, and reports are stored encrypted. Storage keys are managed separately from application credentials.

RBAC

Least-privilege access

Access is role-based and scoped to assignment. An investigator sees the files they work; nobody carries blanket access by default.

SHA-256

Evidence integrity

Original media is hashed at ingest. Any copy can be verified against the original's fingerprint — the basis of a defensible chain of custody.

AUDIT

Every touch logged

File views, uploads, downloads, and status changes land in an append-only audit log reviewed by the principal. We can tell you who touched your file, and when.

CANADA

Canadian data residency

Case data is hosted in Canada. Cross-border processing, where required, is disclosed and bound by data-protection agreements. TODO(owner): confirm production hosting region before launch.

RETAIN

Retention with an end date

Files are retained to a written schedule that meets Ontario regulatory minimums and client contract terms, then destroyed securely — with a destruction log to prove it.

BREACH

A plan for the bad day

A written breach-response plan: containment, risk assessment, notification to affected parties and the federal privacy regulator as soon as feasible, and a 24-month breach register.

Honesty clause

We claim no certification we haven't earned. No SOC 2 badge, no purchased award seals — just controls we actually run, documented in SOPs your vendor management team can read.
