FOR INFORMATION SECURITY PROFESSIONALS & CISO

Our policies, procedures, compliance, and training all serve our mission to protect the security of our customers’ data.

 

AlphaSense cannot access users’ personal information

• The AlphaSense platform accesses extremely limited user information, such as a user’s business email address and name
• The platform cannot access users’ private information, such as telephone number, birthdate, address, social security number, etc.

 

Our procedures comply with global security standards

• We are certified SOC 2 compliant, which ensures our ability to protect our clients’ security
• Our daily backup policy guarantees data can be restored if lost
• Our emergency protocol ensures preparedness and continuous protection in case of unforeseen events
• We constantly assess, evaluate and manage information technology risk
• Our team’s rigorous training on information security procedures mitigates risk

 

The AlphaSense network is secured with firewalls and encryption

• AlphaSense servers are hosted behind a firewall with ingress and egress ports turned off, and are limited to a single HTTPS access on the server catering to user requests
• Subsystems are further isolated to Virtual Private Clouds without Internet access, which limits access to only specific named servers within the firewall, and via secure one-way encryption keys

 

Frequent tests and audits maintain our safety standards over time

• The entire AlphaSense system is constantly monitored and any access in or out is logged for anomaly detection
• Web service uptime at the server level is continuously monitored for any unexpected incidents or high usage suggestive of denial of service attacks
• The AlphaSense system is regularly audited and tested for penetration and vulnerability by third party security specialists
