Security
Our commitment to keeping your data safe
Our Security Commitment
At Vanguard, security is foundational to everything we build. We understand that incident and emergency data requires the highest levels of protection, and we're committed to implementing industry best practices to safeguard your information.
Security Features
Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption.
Secure Infrastructure
Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with automatic security updates.
Tenant Isolation
Complete logical separation between communities ensures your data stays private.
Audit Logging
Comprehensive logging of system access and changes for accountability.
Regular Assessments
Ongoing security reviews and updates to address emerging threats.
Data Protection
We implement multiple layers of protection:
- End-to-end encryption for all data transmission
- Encrypted storage for all persisted data
- Secure authentication with strong password requirements
- Session management with automatic timeout
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
Third-Party Integrations
We carefully vet all third-party services we integrate with. Data shared with external services (such as PulsePoint or the National Weather Service) is limited to what's necessary for functionality, and all connections use secure protocols.
Reporting Security Issues
If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly. Contact information for security reports will be provided when the platform launches.
