At Protect Your PC, security is at the core of everything we do. This page provides comprehensive transparency about our cybersecurity framework, data protection protocols, incident response procedures, and the security measures protecting your information and services.
Multi-layered Defense: We implement defense-in-depth strategies with multiple layers of security controls protecting your data from infrastructure to application level.
Industry Certifications: SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS Level 1 certifications demonstrate our commitment to maintaining the highest security standards.
Continuous Monitoring: 24/7 security operations center (SOC) with AI-powered threat detection and automated response capabilities ensure immediate action against security threats.
Transparent Communication: We commit to notifying affected users within 72 hours of discovering any security incident that may impact their data or services.
Our security architecture implements multiple layers of protection, from physical infrastructure to application-level controls, ensuring comprehensive defense against modern cyber threats:
Physical and network security measures protecting our data centers and cloud infrastructure
Security controls embedded throughout our application development and deployment lifecycle
Comprehensive encryption and data handling protocols for information at rest and in transit
Multi-layered authentication and authorization systems protecting user accounts and administrative access
24/7 security monitoring with real-time threat detection and automated response capabilities
Our incident response team follows a structured five-phase approach to detect, contain, and resolve security incidents while maintaining transparent communication with affected parties:
Immediate identification and assessment of security incidents through automated monitoring and manual analysis
Swift action to prevent incident spread and limit damage to systems and data
Complete removal of threats and restoration of normal operations with enhanced security
Transparent communication with affected parties and regulatory authorities as required by law
Comprehensive analysis and documentation to improve future incident response and prevention
User Notification Commitment:
If a security incident affects your personal data or account, we will notify you within 72 hours via email with detailed information about the incident, data affected, and recommended protective actions. We will also publish a transparent incident report on our security status page.
We maintain compliance with industry-leading security standards and regulatory requirements through regular audits by independent third-party assessors:
Service Organization Control audit verifying security, availability, and confidentiality controls
International standard for information security management systems (ISMS)
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard for processing credit card transactions
General Data Protection Regulation compliance for EU user data protection
California Consumer Privacy Act compliance for California residents
Audit Reports:
Audit reports and compliance certificates are available upon request for enterprise customers. Contact security@protect-your-pc.com to request access to our latest SOC 2 report or other compliance documentation.
Security is not a one-time effort but an ongoing commitment. We maintain regular security activities to identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited:
Mandatory security awareness training for all employees every quarter with specialized training for engineering and operations teams.
Continuous vulnerability scanning with automated patching for critical vulnerabilities within 24 hours of disclosure.
Third-party penetration testing by certified ethical hackers to identify and remediate security weaknesses.
Comprehensive security audits by independent auditors to verify compliance with industry standards and best practices.
Regular review of user access permissions and administrative privileges to ensure least-privilege access.
Systematic review and update of security policies, procedures, and incident response plans.
We welcome security researchers to help us identify and fix security vulnerabilities. Our bug bounty program offers financial rewards for valid security findings:
Remote code execution, authentication bypass, SQL injection
XSS, CSRF, privilege escalation, sensitive data exposure
Information disclosure, business logic flaws, configuration issues
Minor security misconfigurations, best practice violations
Our security culture starts with comprehensive training programs ensuring every team member understands their role in protecting customer data:
All new employees complete mandatory security training during their first week, covering data classification, secure coding practices, phishing awareness, and incident reporting procedures.
Every quarter, all employees participate in updated security training covering emerging threats, recent incidents in the industry, and updated security policies and procedures.
Engineers, operations staff, and customer support receive specialized security training relevant to their roles, including secure SDLC practices, infrastructure security, and secure data handling.
Monthly simulated phishing campaigns test employee awareness and provide immediate training for those who click suspicious links or enter credentials on fake pages.
