Security at DefendMyRep
We defend reputations for executives, regulated practices, and enterprises. The security of our systems is non-negotiable because client information moves through them every day. This page documents our controls.
1. Security posture
- Access controls — least-privilege defaults for engagement work
- Healthcare-aware workflows — sensitive healthcare matters are scoped with confidentiality and data-minimization controls
- Privacy requests — access, correction, and deletion requests route through the published privacy contact
- Control mapping — internal policies are reviewed against common security and privacy frameworks as the service matures
2. Encryption
- TLS 1.3 in transit (HSTS preload, perfect forward secrecy)
- AES-256-GCM at rest for all engagement data
- Encrypted backups with separate key custody
3. Authentication & access
- Mandatory MFA (WebAuthn / TOTP) for all personnel
- SSO (SAML 2.0 / OIDC) for client portals (enterprise tier)
- Role-based access control with least-privilege defaults
- Quarterly access reviews
- Just-in-time elevation for privileged ops
4. Network & infrastructure
- Cloudflare WAF + Bot Management at the edge
- Strict Content-Security-Policy with `frame-ancestors 'none'`
- Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy, Permissions-Policy hardening
- Continuous secrets scanning across code and infrastructure
- Centralized logging with tamper-evident retention
5. Application security
- SAST + DAST in CI/CD
- Dependency scanning with severity-based block gates
- Security review before major production changes
- Responsible disclosure program (see below)
6. People security
- Background check before role assignment
- Annual security awareness training
- Phishing simulations quarterly
- Confidentiality agreements with surviving obligations
7. Incident response
- Documented IR plan tested twice annually
- 60-minute internal notification window
- Client notification within contractual SLA (typically 24 hours for confirmed material incidents)
- Post-incident review with root-cause analysis shared in writing
8. Sub-processors
Current sub-processors with access to client data:
- Cloudflare, Inc. — edge, hosting, WAF (US/EU)
- Google Workspace — email, calendar (US)
- Cal.com, Inc. — strategy-call scheduling (US/EU)
- Resend, Inc. — transactional email (US)
Updates to this list are posted with 30 days' notice to active clients.
9. Responsible disclosure
We welcome reports from independent security researchers. Submit findings to security@defendmyrep.com with a clear PoC. We commit to:
- Acknowledgment within 48 hours
- Initial assessment within 5 business days
- Remediation timeline communicated in good faith
- No legal action against good-faith researchers operating within scope
Scope: *.defendmyrep.com and the public CF Pages deployment. Out of scope: third-party services, social-engineering attacks against personnel, denial-of-service tests.
