Galactic Trust Level

1. Privacy & Data Protection

• We are committed to safeguarding all personal and business data in alignment with Canada’s PIPEDA and applicable client-specific regulations.
• Data is collected solely for necessary operations and is retained only as long as needed. Your information is protected with industry-standard encryption, access controls, and regular audits.
• We also respect international data protection frameworks and can accommodate GDPR, CCPA, or others when required.

2. Our Security Philosophy

• We embrace a “zero trust” model: nothing is trusted by default—even inside our perimeter. Every access request is verified before permission is granted. trust.galacticadvisors.com+1
• This extends across:
  • Patching: Rapid, consistent rollout of updates.
  • Backups: Secure, redundant backups to ensure business continuity.
  • Tool Deployment: Only trusted, vetted tools are used and monitored.
  • Identity & Access Management (IAM): Strict controls ensure only authorized access is permitted.

3. Third-Party Audits & Continuous Improvement

• We engage third-party assessments at least every 90 days to verify our controls and maintain our Trust Level 1 certification.
• These regular audits help us identify and address gaps proactively, ensuring your systems stay resilient.

4. Transparency in Incident Response

• Should a security incident occur, we’ll inform affected clients promptly and clearly.
• Our internal response includes containment, investigation, remediation, and lessons-learned reporting—focused on minimizing disruption and reinforcing defenses.

5. Vendor & Compliance Assurance

• We rigorously vet all third-party services and tools to maintain our rigorous security posture.
• Our practices align with globally recognized standards (e.g., NIST CSF, CIS Controls), and we support compliance programs like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 where applicable.

6. Website & Communications Security

• Our website and client portals use strong encryption (SSL/TLS), undergo regular vulnerability testing, and are subject to routine security monitoring to ensure safe and reliable access.
