Cybersecurity Policy

Effective Date: December 12, 2024

Overview: Sasha7 is committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data, as well as maintaining a secure environment for all users. This Cybersecurity Policy outlines the measures taken to safeguard the platform and ensure compliance with industry standards, local regulations, and best practices for data protection.

1. Data Protection and Privacy

Sasha7 takes the privacy and security of user data seriously. We ensure that all personal and sensitive data is securely stored, processed, and transmitted through advanced encryption and security protocols.

Key Security Measures:

  • End-to-End Encryption: All user communications and sensitive data are encrypted from the point of entry to storage and back, ensuring that data is inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
  • Data Anonymization: We anonymize user data to protect privacy, particularly in the case of a breach or other security incidents.
  • Regular Audits: Regular security audits are conducted to identify vulnerabilities and implement necessary fixes to maintain high standards of protection.

2. Authentication and Access Control

Access to sensitive data and administrative controls is tightly restricted to authorized personnel only. We implement robust authentication and authorization measures to ensure that users and staff members alike have access only to the data and resources they are authorized to use.

Key Security Measures:

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Users and employees are required to enable MFA on their accounts to add an extra layer of security beyond basic password protection.
  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): User roles and permissions are strictly defined, limiting access to sensitive data and administrative resources to authorized personnel only.

3. Monitoring and Incident Response

To detect and mitigate potential security threats, Sasha7 employs continuous monitoring tools that provide real-time alerts and analytics. Our security team is trained to respond promptly to security incidents, minimizing the impact of any potential breach.

Key Security Measures:

  • 24/7 Monitoring: We utilize automated systems for continuous monitoring of user activities and platform transactions to detect any anomalies or signs of unauthorized access.
  • Incident Response Plan: In the event of a cyberattack or data breach, our team follows a defined incident response plan to quickly mitigate the threat, contain any damage, and restore services as quickly as possible.

4. Content Moderation and User Safety

Ensuring the safety of all users is a priority at Sasha7. We prevent the distribution of prohibited content, including non-consensual material, and engage in real-time monitoring and manual moderation of uploaded content.

Key Security Measures:

  • Content Moderation Tools Integration: We use advanced third-party content moderation tools similar to AWS Rekognition to detect inappropriate content in real time, minimizing the risk of harmful or illegal material being shared on our platform.
  • Manual Content Moderation: A dedicated team of moderators reviews flagged content and takes appropriate action to ensure compliance with our community guidelines.
  • Prohibited Content List: Clear guidelines are provided to users, outlining prohibited content types (e.g., revenge porn, sexually explicit content, drugs, illegal activities). Violators face immediate suspension or removal from the platform.

5. Payment Security

We ensure that all financial transactions are secure by using trusted and compliant payment processors. Our platform adheres to PCI DSS standards for secure payment processing.

Key Security Measures:

  • Secure Payment Gateways: All payment transactions are processed using secure, encrypted payment gateways that comply with PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
  • Transaction Monitoring: We utilize fraud detection tools to monitor for suspicious activities related to payments, ensuring that all transactions are legitimate and authorized.

6. Employee Training and Awareness

All employees undergo continuous training in cybersecurity best practices, ensuring they are equipped to identify, mitigate, and respond to security threats.

Key Security Measures:

  • Regular Training: Employees are trained on the latest security protocols, phishing scams, and the handling of sensitive data to ensure that they remain vigilant against potential threats.
  • Security Awareness Campaigns: We run regular security awareness campaigns to keep employees informed about current cybersecurity trends and potential risks.

7. Third-Party Risk Management

Sasha7 partners with third-party service providers, such as AWS Rekognition, to enhance the security and safety of our platform. We ensure that all third-party services comply with our cybersecurity and data protection standards.

Key Security Measures:

  • Third-Party Assessments: We conduct regular assessments of third-party services to ensure that they maintain the same high standards of security and privacy as our platform.
  • Contractual Security Obligations: All third-party vendors are contractually obligated to adhere to our security policies, including compliance with privacy and cybersecurity regulations.

8. Cybersecurity Compliance

Sasha7 adheres to both local and international cybersecurity regulations and standards, including but not limited to GDPR (EU), PIPEDA (Canada), CCPA (US), and laws in Brazil and Australia.

Key Security Measures:

  • Regulatory Compliance: We ensure full compliance with data protection laws and industry standards for secure data handling and privacy protection.
  • Ongoing Legal Review: Our legal team regularly reviews regulatory changes to ensure that our policies and practices align with evolving cybersecurity laws and standards.

9. Reporting and Transparency

We provide clear channels for users to report security concerns or incidents. Our team responds promptly to these reports, ensuring that any potential risks are handled efficiently.

Key Security Measures:

  • Reporting Features: Users can report suspicious activities, security issues, or violations of our community guidelines via the designated reporting features on our platform.
  • Transparency in Actions: We are committed to providing transparency in how we handle security incidents, including regular updates on the actions taken to resolve any issues.

10. Protection Against Cyber Threats

Sasha7 implements advanced protection mechanisms to defend against various forms of cyber threats, such as phishing, hacking, and malware attacks.

Key Security Measures:

  • Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems: We use firewalls and intrusion detection systems to prevent unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
  • Phishing Awareness: Users are educated on phishing and social engineering threats, and we provide resources on how to protect themselves from scams. See: Sasha7 Safety Blog.
