Whether you are sharing proprietary source code to document technical knowledge or sharing sensitive company intelligence to develop marketing material, Assist Nity is built with privacy protocols, encrypted systems, and vetted professionals who are under legally binding NDA agreements, so there are several security and privacy protections in place for your sensitive information. Assist Nity operates under a principle of compliance so trust is maintained, and your information remains secure, and you can focus on producing the content you need to support your business without security concerns.
Platform Security Standards
End-to-End Encryption: Every single piece of data is protected by robust end-to-end encryption -- keeping any and all data and information private and safe, both during the transfer process and while being stored. This stops unauthorized users at every stage.
Data in Transit and Data at Rest: The encryption protocols enable full security of data while being passed through the networks, or while being stored in the systems, while also keeping the data integrity and privacy.
ISO/IEC Certified Data Centre: The platform operates in a cloud-based infrastructure that is compliant with international security standards, such as ISO or IEC equivalent 27001 (or similar). The certification guarantees that the platform utilizes the best security management procedures for information.
Ongoing Security Audits: We provide scheduled (Ongoing) internal or external security audits for all compliance items relating to code vulnerabilities, compliance processes, and everything in between, all while building a proactive defence and vulnerability map for continued measurement.
Compliance Checks: We continue to check and monitor compliance relating to the platform in relation to data protection rights that exist for individuals depending on their territory, country, and industry, ie, GDPR, HIPAA, or CCPA.
Multi-layered Security Postures: The platform employs multilayered security postures for firewalls, SIEM, IDS/IPS, and access controls. Cyber threat evolution continues; therefore, multi-layer security continues too.
Data Privacy Measures- Ensuring Your Information Stays Secure
Compliance with Global Laws Assist Nity is fully compliant with global data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California's Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)- as a result, your personal and business data will be treated professionally, transparently, and consistently with the highest standard of accountability.

Custom Confidentiality Agreements
For peace of mind in this evolving data landscape, clients can also request Negotiable Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and custom confidentiality clauses for their project or company. These instruments are registered, legally binding contracts that provide a layer of security and peace of mind that sensitive information will be kept confidential.
Appropriate Access Controls & Encryption

Transparency & Accountability
Assist Nity's processes allow transparency about what data is collected, how it is stored, a method for excluding documents that may become sensitive, and the escalated procedures in the event of any concerns.
With all of these measures in place to represent trust and a constant on-guard process for protecting your data, Assist Nity is your trusted partner.
Access Controls
Role-Based Access: Access is given according to roles, meaning only authorized users can view or change particular projects/files.
Task-based Permissions: Writers and collaborators can only access what is assigned to them - they are also not exposed to anything unrelated or sensitive that was assigned to someone else.
Activity Tracking: User activity is tracked through activity logs, which allow a full view of user 'who/what/when/where', allowing knowledge of what users are doing, accountability, and quick resolution when unauthorized activity or changes are detected.
User Identity Verification: Secure User Login through credential access and multi-factor authentication (MFA) process to ensure users verify their identity first.
Controlled access Sharing: Admin controls of the collaborative file sharing set elements, can revoke access, and restrict file access settings to preserve the integrity of collaborative content as needed.
Code Protection Protocols
Secure File Sharing: All code sharing is done through secure, encrypted channels with access controls to limit access.
Version Control Systems: We are using trusted version control system platforms with strict access controls and log all changes and access.
No Public Repositories: Code will never be stored with or src- or code- shared via a public repository, only inside vetted private spaces.
Client Approved Tools: All collaboration and tooling have been vetted and approved by the client.
Obfuscation if Needed: We can obfuscate code with additional hiding of sensitive logic or I.P. during the review and handover phases.
