Synoptix Security Terms and Policies

Synoptix’s Security Incident Response Program outlines how incidents are detected, classified, and managed to protect systems and data. It covers identification, containment, recovery, notification, staff responsibilities, and post-incident improvement.

Synoptix’s Information Security Program protects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company and customer data. It covers governance, risk management, access control, security for systems and vendors, plus training, monitoring, continuity planning, and regular reviews to improve security.

Synoptix’s Access Control Policy defines how access to systems, data, and facilities is granted and revoked. It enforces least-privilege, multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and controls for accounts, privileged access, remote use, and vendors, with monitoring and regular reviews for compliance.

Synoptix’s Media Use & Handling Policy sets rules for securely storing, transporting, and disposing of media containing company or customer data. It includes media classification, encryption and device controls, secure backup and disposal practices, and procedures for reporting lost or mishandled media.

Synoptix’s Onboarding & Offboarding Policy defines how access, devices, and training are provisioned for new staff and promptly revoked when roles change or employment ends. It includes background checks, asset recovery, knowledge transfer, and strict timelines for disabling accounts and privileged access.

Synoptix’s Business Continuity Plan explains how critical operations will continue or quickly resume during disruptions such as disasters, cyberattacks, or outages. It defines recovery objectives, roles, communication protocols, backup strategies, and testing to ensure resilience and rapid recovery.

Synoptix’s Disaster Recovery Plan defines how to restore IT systems, data, and operations after disruptive events. It sets recovery targets (RTO/RPO), roles, activation criteria, recovery steps and playbooks, backup procedures, alternate operations, communications, testing, and post-incident updates to improve resilience.

Synoptix’s Patch Management Process outlines how software patches are identified, tested, delivered, and verified. It assigns roles, requires documentation and audit logging, uses digital signatures, and ensures interim fixes are rolled into future releases with annual reviews for improvement.

Synoptix’s Systems Development Life Cycle covers software planning, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, and compliance. It embeds secure coding and quality assurance throughout, with audits and alignment to standards like NIST and ISO 27001.
