Security & Compliance

1. Introduction & Commitment 

At 3LI GLOBAL, safeguarding our clients’ data is more than a priority — it’s a responsibility we are deeply committed to. We understand that trust forms the foundation of every partnership, and we strive to uphold it by embedding security and compliance into every solution we deliver. 

We work with businesses across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, retail and e-commerce, consumer goods, healthcare, logistics, education, financial services and banking, government and non-profits, hospitality and travel, media and entertainment, professional services, real estate, technology and SaaS companies, telecommunications, and fintech. With every engagement, we bring a tailored approach to protecting sensitive information while supporting innovation and operational excellence. 

Operating globally, 3LI GLOBAL aligns with internationally recognized standards such as GDPR and adopts industry best practices in security and compliance. While we may not hold formal certifications, our policies, processes, and commitment ensure that data protection is a core principle across all of our services. 

2. Data Protection and Privacy 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we take data protection seriously and are committed to ensuring the security and privacy of our clients’ information. We follow a strict set of practices to ensure that all customer and user data is handled with the highest level of care. 

Data Ownership 
Our clients retain full ownership and control over their data at all times. We act solely as a service provider, ensuring that data is used only to deliver the services agreed upon. 

Data Collection and Minimization 
We collect and process only the data necessary to provide our services effectively. Our data handling practices are designed to minimize the amount of personal and sensitive information collected, in line with the principle of data minimization. 

Data Retention and Deletion 
We retain customer data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or to comply with applicable legal obligations. Clients may request the deletion of their data at any time by submitting a request through our Privacy Rights Request Form. All deletion requests are handled securely and in accordance with best practices to ensure complete and irreversible removal of data from our systems. 

Privacy and Compliance 
We align with internationally recognized privacy principles, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our privacy practices are designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and respect for individual rights. 

Data Sharing and Sales 
We do not sell, rent, or share customer data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Clients can learn more about their rights and choices through our Do Not Sell My Personal Information page. 

Protecting your data is a fundamental part of our commitment to providing secure and trusted services. 

3. Security Practices 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we implement a multi-layered approach to security, ensuring that data, applications, and systems are protected against evolving threats. Our security framework is designed to safeguard every aspect of our operations, from network and applications to endpoints and user access. 

Network Security 
We protect our infrastructure with enterprise-grade firewalls and secure VPN access to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of all communications. Access to internal systems is tightly controlled and monitored to prevent unauthorized intrusion. 

Application Security 
Our development processes follow secure development lifecycle (SDLC) best practices, incorporating security from the earliest stages of design through deployment. Regular code reviews and vulnerability assessments are conducted to identify and remediate potential risks, ensuring that applications remain secure and resilient. 

Endpoint Security 
All employee devices are company-owned and managed through Microsoft Intune, enabling centralized enforcement of security policies. Devices are protected with antivirus and anti-malware solutions, full disk encryption, secure password policies, and the ability to remotely wipe devices if necessary to prevent data loss or compromise. 

Access Controls 
We apply strict access control measures to all systems and data: 

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures users have access only to the resources necessary for their role. 
  • We operate under the principle of least privilege, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access. 
  • Strong password policies are enforced across all systems. 
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is required for accessing all major systems, adding an extra layer of security to user authentication. 

Encryption 
All data in transit is secured using industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption protocols. Data at rest, including databases and storage, is encrypted to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the confidentiality and integrity of client information. 

Our security practices are continually reviewed and updated to align with evolving threats and industry standards, ensuring that we maintain a strong, proactive security posture across all areas of our business. 

4. Identity & Access Management (IAM) 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we implement strong identity and access management practices to ensure that only authorized users have access to our systems and data. Protecting access is a critical part of our overall security strategy, and we enforce strict controls to minimize risk. 

Single Sign-On (SSO) 
We utilize centralized Single Sign-On (SSO) through Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) to provide secure, seamless access to internal systems. SSO ensures that user credentials are managed consistently and securely across all critical platforms, reducing the risk of password fatigue and unauthorized access. 

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enforced on all major systems, including email, cloud services, and CRM platforms. Access to these systems is further restricted to company-owned, Intune-managed devices and approved static IP addresses, ensuring an additional layer of control and protection. 

Access Reviews and Revocation 
We conduct periodic access reviews to verify that access rights align with current roles and responsibilities. Access for departing employees or users whose roles change is promptly revoked to maintain the principle of least privilege. This process ensures that access to sensitive systems and data is consistently kept to the minimum necessary. 

Our approach to identity and access management helps prevent unauthorized access and supports a secure, scalable environment for our clients and teams. 

5. Vendor & Third-Party Management 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we recognize that the security of our services is closely tied to the security practices of the third-party vendors and service providers we work with. We apply a rigorous approach to vendor and third-party management to ensure that our extended ecosystem meets the same high standards we demand internally. 

Due Diligence and Vetting 
Before engaging with any third-party vendor, we perform thorough due diligence to assess their security posture, compliance certifications, and data protection practices. This process includes reviewing publicly available security documentation, privacy policies, and, where applicable, certifications such as GDPR compliance, ISO 27001, or SOC 2. 

Security Assessments 
Prior to onboarding, vendors undergo security assessments to evaluate their capabilities and ensure they align with our internal security and compliance requirements. We only engage with vendors who demonstrate a clear commitment to safeguarding data and maintaining operational integrity. 

Ongoing Monitoring 
Vendor relationships are not set-and-forget. We conduct ongoing monitoring and periodic reviews of critical vendors to ensure continued compliance with security and privacy standards. We also monitor for any reported security incidents or material changes that could affect the vendor’s risk profile, taking corrective actions when necessary. 

By maintaining a strong vendor and third-party management program, we extend our security and compliance principles beyond our organization to all partners involved in delivering services to our clients. 

6. Incident Response 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we maintain a structured and proactive approach to managing security incidents to minimize impact and ensure a swift, effective response. Protecting our clients' data and maintaining service integrity are at the core of our incident response strategy. 

Incident Detection and Reporting 
We have established processes to ensure timely detection and reporting of potential security incidents. All employees are trained to identify and report suspicious activities immediately, and our systems are monitored to detect anomalies that could indicate a security event. 

Breach Notification SLA 
In the event of a confirmed data breach affecting client information, we are committed to notifying the affected parties within 48 hours. Transparency and timely communication are key priorities to ensure that clients are informed and able to take appropriate measures if needed. 

Post-Incident Analysis and Preventive Actions 
After resolving an incident, we conduct a comprehensive post-incident review to identify root causes and lessons learned. Based on these findings, we update our security measures, processes, and training programs to strengthen our defenses and reduce the likelihood of similar incidents in the future. 

Our incident response process is designed to protect our clients’ interests and uphold the trust they place in 3LI GLOBAL. 

7. Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we prioritize resilience and preparedness to ensure uninterrupted service for our clients. Our business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) practices are designed to minimize the impact of unexpected events and maintain the availability and integrity of critical systems. 

Regular Data Backups 
We perform regular, automated backups of critical systems and customer data to ensure that information can be quickly restored in the event of data loss. Our backup strategy is designed to support both rapid recovery and minimal disruption to client operations. 

Disaster Recovery Plans 
We maintain comprehensive disaster recovery plans to enable quick restoration of services in the event of a system failure or other disruption. Our disaster recovery objectives are designed to: 

  • Minimize downtime with a low Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
  • Ensure minimal data loss with a tightly controlled Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

Regular testing and updates of these plans help us maintain a high level of readiness. 

High Availability and System Redundancy 
Our infrastructure is built on leading cloud platforms, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS), which offer built-in high availability and redundancy features. We leverage multi-region deployments, failover configurations, and scalable architectures to ensure continuous access to critical services, even in the face of infrastructure failures. 

By combining proactive planning, robust backup strategies, and reliable cloud infrastructure, 3LI GLOBAL ensures that our clients’ operations remain resilient and secure under all circumstances. 

8. Compliance & Legal 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we are committed to maintaining compliance with global data protection regulations and promoting a culture of security and confidentiality within our organization. 

Data Protection and Privacy Compliance 
We align our data handling practices with the requirements of major data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Our processes are designed to respect data subject rights, ensure transparency, and uphold the privacy of our clients and their customers. 

Confidentiality Policies for Employees and Contractors 
All employees and contractors are required to adhere to strict confidentiality obligations as part of their employment agreements. These agreements cover the protection of sensitive business information, client data, intellectual property, and trade secrets. Confidentiality obligations continue even after termination of employment to ensure lasting protection of sensitive information. 

Security and Privacy Training 
We provide ongoing security and privacy training to all employees to ensure they are aware of the latest best practices and regulatory requirements. Training is conducted during onboarding and refreshed periodically to reinforce a strong security culture across the organization. 

By embedding compliance and legal rigor into our daily operations, we aim to protect our clients' interests and uphold the trust they place in us. 

9. Employee Security 

At 3LI GLOBAL, we believe that security starts with our people. We implement strong policies and practices to ensure that all employees and contractors contribute to a secure and compliant working environment. 

Security Training and Awareness 
All employees undergo mandatory security and privacy training as part of the onboarding process. Regular refresher programs are conducted to keep staff informed about evolving security threats, best practices, and regulatory requirements, reinforcing a strong culture of security awareness throughout the organization. 

Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) 
We maintain strict internal policies governing the acceptable use of company resources, including email systems, internet access, and company-owned devices. Employees are expected to adhere to these policies at all times to ensure the security and integrity of our systems and data. 

Background Checks 
As part of our hiring process, all employees and contractors are subject to background verification in compliance with applicable laws. This ensures that individuals entrusted with access to sensitive data meet our standards of integrity and reliability. 

Access Revocation and Termination 
Upon termination or role change, employee access to all systems and data is promptly revoked in accordance with our offboarding procedures. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and protect client and company information even after employment ends. 

By embedding security responsibilities into every role and maintaining strict access controls, we uphold the trust our clients place in us and maintain the integrity of our operations. 

10. Certifications & Audits 

While 3LI GLOBAL is not formally certified under standards such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2, we align our internal policies and practices with the core requirements and best practices outlined by these internationally recognized frameworks. 

Our security program is designed to uphold principles of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and we continuously review and improve our controls to meet evolving security and compliance expectations. We adopt industry best practices in areas such as access management, data protection, incident response, and vendor management to ensure a robust security posture. 

As we grow, maintaining client trust remains a top priority, and we are committed to enhancing our compliance efforts and aligning with recognized industry standards.
