4. Data Protection Measures

4.1 Encryption and Secure Storage

All user data transmitted via the SayPro Classified Platform is encrypted using industry-standard protocols (e.g., SSL/TLS for data in transit and AES for data at rest). Data is stored in secure, access-controlled environments with regular security audits.

4.2 Access Control and Authentication

Only authorized personnel within SayPro can access classified user data. Role-based access control (RBAC) mechanisms ensure that data is only accessible by employees who need it for legitimate business purposes. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is implemented for critical access points.

4.3 Data Minimization and Retention

SayPro limits the collection of personal data to only what is necessary for the purpose of providing services. Data retention policies are clearly defined and enforced, with routine deletion of outdated or unused data to mitigate risk.

5. Confidentiality Assurance

All SayPro employees, contractors, and third-party partners undergo privacy training and are bound by confidentiality agreements. Internal guidelines strictly prohibit the unauthorized sharing or external distribution of user data.

Additionally, automated monitoring systems are in place to detect and alert any potential breaches or anomalies involving user data activity.

SayPro ensures compliance with applicable privacy regulations by:

• Maintaining an internal Data Protection Register.
