At LecturePanda, we are deeply committed to safeguarding our customers' data. We follow best-in-class security practices and continuously improve our security posture to ensure that your information is protected at all times. Below, you’ll find an overview of our security measures across key areas, from data protection to incident response.

1. Data Protection and Privacy

LecturePanda is dedicated to maintaining the privacy and integrity of our customers' data. We employ robust measures to ensure that your data remains secure and confidential.

• Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to protect data in transit and AES-256 encryption to secure data at rest.
• Data Minimization: We limit the collection and retention of data to only what is necessary to provide our services. Regular reviews of our data retention practices ensure compliance with privacy standards.
• Access Restrictions: Access to sensitive data is restricted to authorized personnel based on job roles, and access is regularly audited.

2. Access Control and Authentication

We have strict access control measures in place to protect sensitive data and systems.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): We apply the principle of least privilege to ensure that employees only have access to the resources they need.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): MFA is mandatory for all employees to provide an additional layer of security.
• Regular Access Reviews: Access privileges are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain appropriate and current.

3. Compliance and Certifications

LecturePanda is committed to maintaining compliance with relevant industry standards and regulations.

• SOC 2 Type II: We undergo regular SOC 2 audits to ensure we maintain high standards of security, availability, and confidentiality.

4. Vulnerability Management and Patch Updates

We proactively manage and mitigate vulnerabilities to minimize security risks.

• Automated Vulnerability Scanning: Continuous automated scanning helps us quickly identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
• Regular Patch Management: We apply security patches promptly, with critical updates implemented as soon as they are available.

5. Incident Response and Monitoring

Our Incident Response Plan (IRP) ensures rapid response and containment of any security incidents.

• 24/7 Monitoring: Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity, enabling us to detect and respond to incidents swiftly.
• Incident Response Plan: Our IRP outlines specific steps for incident detection, containment, investigation, and remediation. We conduct regular tabletop exercises to test and improve our response readiness.
• Incident Reporting: In the event of a security incident, affected customers are promptly notified, and we work closely with them to mitigate the impact.

6. Employee Training and Awareness

We believe that a strong security culture starts with our team. All employees are trained to recognize and respond to security threats.

• Security Awareness Training: Every employee completes security awareness training upon hire and annually thereafter, covering topics such as phishing prevention and secure data handling.
• Regular Phishing Simulations: Phishing simulation exercises keep our employees vigilant and prepared to respond to social engineering attacks.
• Acceptable Use Policies: Employees are required to adhere to acceptable use policies that define proper handling and protection of data.

7. Secure Development Practices

Our development team follows secure coding practices to ensure that security is embedded throughout our software lifecycle.

• Secure Coding Standards: We follow industry-standard secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities.
• Code Reviews: All code changes are subject to peer review to identify and address security issues.
• Continuous Integration and Testing: Our CI/CD pipeline includes automated security testing to ensure code security and quality before deployment.
