We understand that organizations rely on our solutions to handle, process, and analyze confidential information securely. That’s why we embed advanced, industry-standard security measures at every stage of our development process, from model fine-tuning and embedding to deployment. Our approach ensures that sensitive data remains secure, private, and compliant with all relevant regulations.

Uncompromised Security for Model Fine-Tuning and Data Embedding

Custom AI development often requires sensitive business data to be integrated into models through fine-tuning and embedding, enabling them to deliver highly relevant, actionable insights. However, this also means that protecting this data is essential. ADXL AI employs robust security protocols to safeguard every aspect of model development, ensuring that data security is at the forefront of our process.

Here’s how we incorporate leading-edge security measures:

1. Encryption: Protecting Data at Rest and in Transit

• Data Encryption at Rest: All sensitive data, whether it's in databases, model training files, or storage devices, is encrypted using AES-256, a robust standard for data encryption. This means that even if someone gains unauthorized access to our storage, the data remains unreadable.
• Data Encryption in Transit: Every time data is transmitted, whether from client systems to our servers or within our development environment, it’s protected by TLS/SSL protocols. This prevents interception or unauthorized access during data transfer.
• Field-Level Encryption for Sensitive Data: Highly sensitive fields, such as personal identifiers or financial information, are encrypted at the field level, adding an additional layer of security for data stored in relational or non-relational databases.

2. Access Control and Identity Management

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): ADXL AI employs RBAC to limit access based on the user's role and need-to-know basis. This ensures that only authorized team members have access to sensitive data and model training environments.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): All ADXL AI personnel and systems require MFA for access to critical resources, ensuring that unauthorized users cannot access data with a compromised password alone.
• Least Privilege Principle: By limiting user permissions to only the essential functions required for their role, we minimize the risk of accidental or intentional data exposure.

3. Data Masking and Tokenization

• Data Masking for Sensitive Fields: We mask sensitive data fields, such as payment or personal information, when it’s displayed for development or support, reducing the visibility of this information even to internal users.
• Tokenization for Privacy Protection: Sensitive information is replaced with secure tokens where possible, allowing the model to work with proxy data without revealing the original information. The original data remains secure and separate from the modeling process.

4. Secure Data Isolation and Sandboxing

• Environment Isolation: Our development, testing, and production environments are kept isolated from each other. Sensitive data is processed only in secure, dedicated environments, minimizing the risk of data leakage.
• Sandboxing for Model Fine-Tuning: When fine-tuning models, we employ sandboxed environments to isolate processes and prevent unauthorized access or interference during training, enhancing security.

5. Audit Logging and Real-Time Monitoring

• Comprehensive Logging: All interactions with sensitive data are logged, capturing details such as user access, data changes, and system events. These logs are maintained securely and are regularly reviewed to identify and respond to potential security incidents.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Our security team monitors all systems in real time, with automated alerts for any unusual activity, such as unauthorized access attempts or unusual data usage patterns.
• Regular Security Audits: ADXL AI conducts regular audits to assess compliance with security protocols, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring adherence to industry best practices.

6. Compliance with Industry Standards and Regulations

• GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA Compliance: ADXL AI adheres to all relevant regulations, ensuring that data handling processes meet the standards required by GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, and other privacy laws. This includes rights such as data access, erasure, and anonymization.
• Privacy-By-Design: We incorporate privacy considerations from the outset, including data minimization, anonymization, and purpose limitation to ensure compliance from start to finish.
• Data Residency Requirements: For clients in regions with specific data residency requirements, ADXL AI ensures that data storage and processing comply with local data laws, keeping data within approved jurisdictions.

7. Network Security and Physical Security

• Firewall and Intrusion Prevention: All ADXL AI systems are protected by firewalls and intrusion prevention systems, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Security: We employ VPCs to isolate sensitive data networks, ensuring that only trusted sources and secure VPN connections can access data and resources.
• Physical Security: For on-premises servers, ADXL AI works with certified data centers that comply with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and other physical security certifications, ensuring protection from physical threats.

8. Model Security and Deployment Protocols

• Containerization and Segmentation: By using containerized environments, such as Docker, we ensure that models are securely segmented, with each model instance isolated from others to prevent data cross-contamination.
• Secure API Endpoints: For models deployed via API, we secure endpoints with authentication layers, rate limiting, and IP whitelisting, ensuring only authorized requests can interact with the model.
• Adversarial and Penetration Testing: Regular adversarial testing and penetration tests are conducted to identify and address potential vulnerabilities in model handling and deployment.

9. Proactive Model Monitoring and Regular Updates

• Performance and Security Monitoring: ADXL AI continuously monitors deployed models, keeping track of performance and security metrics to detect any anomalies or potential threats.
• Model Updates and Patches: We keep our systems up-to-date with the latest security patches and updates, ensuring models and systems are always resilient against known threats and vulnerabilities.
• Compliance Audits for Updates: Every update to a model or system is reviewed for compliance, ensuring that new changes don’t inadvertently introduce risks.

10. Continuous Employee Security Training

• Ongoing Training Programs: All ADXL AI team members receive regular training on data privacy, security practices, and secure data handling. This includes specialized training for developers working with sensitive data.
• Security Awareness: ADXL AI fosters a security-first culture, encouraging team members to stay vigilant and informed about the latest security trends, risks, and best practices.
