Security & Compliance

At Programmatic, security, privacy, and compliance are foundational to how we design, build, and operate our technology solutions. We implement industry-recognized safeguards to protect customer data, ensure system resilience, and support regulatory and contractual obligations across industries and regions.

Our Security Commitment

We apply a defense-in-depth approach to protect information across infrastructure, applications, and operations. Security is embedded throughout the full lifecycle of our services—from architecture and development to deployment and ongoing operations.

Our security program is aligned with widely accepted best practices and risk-management principles.

Information Security Controls

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Key Controls Include:

Role-based access controls (RBAC) and least-privilege enforcement
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for critical systems
Secure identity and access management (IAM) practices
Encryption of data in transit using industry-standard protocols (e.g., TLS)
Secure configuration and hardening of infrastructure and environments

Secure Development Practices

Security is integrated into our software development lifecycle (SDLC):

Secure coding standards and code review processes
Automated testing and vulnerability scanning
Dependency and third-party risk awareness
Environment segregation (development, staging, production)
Controlled release and change management processes

Infrastructure & Cloud Security

Programmatic solutions may be deployed across public cloud, private cloud, hybrid, or on-premise environments, depending on client requirements.

We follow cloud security best practices, including:

Network segmentation and firewall controls
Logging, monitoring, and alerting for security events
Regular patching and system updates
Backup, recovery, and business continuity planning

Data Protection & Privacy

We take data protection seriously and align our practices with applicable privacy regulations, including GDPR and other regional data protection laws where applicable.

Data access is restricted to authorized personnel only
Customer data is used solely to provide contracted services
Data handling obligations are governed by contractual agreements

Compliance Alignment

While specific compliance certifications may vary by engagement, our practices are designed to align with common enterprise and regulatory frameworks, including:

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
SOC 2 principles (Security, Availability, Confidentiality)
ISO/IEC 27001-aligned security controls
OWASP security best practices

Compliance requirements are addressed contractually based on the scope of services and deployment model.

Third-Party Risk Management

We evaluate third-party tools and service providers that support our operations to ensure they meet reasonable security and privacy standards appropriate to their role.

Incident Response & Business Continuity

We maintain processes to identify, respond to, and mitigate security incidents in a timely manner.

Our approach includes:

Incident detection and escalation procedures
Containment and remediation processes
Client communication protocols where applicable
Business continuity and disaster recovery planning

Security is a shared responsibility. Clients are responsible for:

Managing user access within their organization
Securing client-side systems and credentials
Ensuring appropriate use of services by authorized users
