Data Protection Commitment
As a multidivisional enterprise operating across 400+ subsidiaries and 62 countries, Aevum Zenth handles vast volumes of sensitive, regulated, and proprietary data. This policy outlines our unified approach to data security, encryption standards, access controls, and retention lifecycles. All employees, contractors, and third-party partners interacting with Zenth data systems must adhere to these protocols to maintain our zero-trust security posture.
Security Architecture
Our security model is built on continuous verification, defense-in-depth, and automated threat remediation.
Data Classification Framework
All data ingested, processed, or stored by Aevum Zenth is categorized into four tiers, dictating handling procedures, encryption requirements, and retention limits.
Data Retention & Disposal
Retention periods are strictly enforced by automated data lifecycle management (DLM) systems. Archival and destruction methods comply with industry regulations and environmental safety standards.
| Data Category | Retention Period | Storage State | Disposal Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial & Tax Records | 7 Years | Encrypted Archive | Cryptographic Shred |
| Customer PII / Profiles | 3 Years + 6 Months | Live Secure DB | Secure Wipe (NIST 800-88) |
| Healthcare / PHI Data | 10 Years | HIPAA-Compliant Vault | Degaussing + Physical Destruction |
| Source Code & IP | Indefinite | Air-Gapped Backup | Key Revocation + Shred |
| Log & Audit Trails | 5 Years | Immutable Ledger | Secure Overwrite |
Regulatory Compliance & Audits
Aevum Zenth maintains continuous compliance with major global data protection frameworks. Third-party audits are conducted quarterly, with results published to our transparency dashboard.
Security Incident Response
In the event of a suspected breach, unauthorized access, or data anomaly, our Incident Response Team (IRT) follows a strictly defined playbook to minimize impact and maintain regulatory reporting obligations.
Detection & Triage
Automated alerts trigger within <60 seconds. IRT validates severity, classifies incident type, and initiates containment protocols.
Containment & Isolation
Compartmentalized network segments are isolated. Affected credentials are revoked. Forensic snapshots are captured for analysis.
Eradication & Recovery
Threat actors are removed. Vulnerabilities are patched. Clean backups are restored. Systems undergo validation before reintegration.
Post-Incident Review
Root cause analysis is documented. Policy gaps are addressed. Metrics are reported to the Board Security Committee within 14 days.
