Enterprise Security & Data Governance
At Global Capability Network, data security, client confidentiality, and intellectual property protection are engineered into the foundation of our advisory and diagnostic platforms. We employ a zero-trust architecture to ensure your strategic data remains confidential, isolated, and verifiably protected.
1. Data Isolation & Tenant Confidentiality
- Database-Enforced Boundaries: All client data resides within strictly isolated tenant structures governed by database-level Row-Level Security (RLS). Access controls are enforced at the database layer, ensuring no cross-organisation or cross-programme data exposure is possible.
- Separation of Duties: Diagnostic respondents, project sponsors, and analytical specialists operate within strictly segmented workspaces. Respondents only access assigned intake items, ensuring sensitive diagnostic inputs remain protected throughout the intake phase.
2. Encryption & Ephemeral Asset Protection
- Encryption in Transit: All network traffic is encrypted using modern TLS (Transport Layer Security) with strict HTTPS enforcement and modern cipher suites.
- Encryption at Rest: All databases and file storage repositories are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
- Private Storage with Ephemeral Access: Uploaded documents, evidence, and deliverables are never stored in public buckets. File access is granted solely via short-lived, cryptographically signed URLs (valid for 5 minutes or less) generated only after dynamic identity verification.
3. Data Classification & Information Gating
- Multi-Tier Classification: Engagements classify information according to confidentiality tiers (Normal, Restricted, and Highly Restricted).
- Controlled Access Grants: Access to sensitive diagnostic evidence requires explicit, workstream-level authorisation and is governed by strict need-to-know rules.
4. Auditability & Analytical Immutability
- Immutable Versioning: Submitted diagnostic data and milestone deliverables are captured as immutable versioned snapshots, preventing accidental alteration or silent overwriting.
- Traceable Lineage: Every strategic recommendation is linked to verified findings, validation criteria, and source evidence, providing full analytical transparency without compromising underlying sensitive sources.
- Comprehensive Audit Logs: All data mutations and governance decisions generate immutable audit events recording actor, timestamp, and action.
5. Access Management & Governance
- Secure Authentication: Identity management leverages modern enterprise authentication standards.
- Time-Bounded Authorisation: Project and workstream access can be time-limited and subject to immediate administrative revocation or suspension.
