Security Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to the Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Centre (saiciasst.in) of IASST. This security policy outlines the measures we implement to protect user data and system integrity.

1. Access Control

Access to the portal is restricted to authorized users only. Users must authenticate using secure login credentials.

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is encouraged.
• Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures minimal privilege access.
• Inactive sessions are automatically logged out.

2. Data Protection

We implement industry-standard encryption to safeguard data:

• Data in transit is encrypted using SSL/TLS.
• Data at rest is secured with encryption protocols.
• Regular security audits ensure compliance.

3. System Monitoring

Continuous monitoring helps detect and prevent security threats.

• Logs are maintained for audit purposes.
• Automated intrusion detection systems (IDS) are in place.
• Regular vulnerability assessments are conducted.

4. Incident Response

In the event of a security breach, we follow a structured incident response plan:

• Immediate containment and mitigation.
• Investigation and root cause analysis.
• Notification to affected users and stakeholders.

5. User Responsibilities

Users must follow best security practices, including:

• Using strong passwords and changing them regularly.
• Not sharing login credentials with others.
• Reporting suspicious activities immediately.

6. Compliance and Review

We adhere to relevant cybersecurity standards and regulations. This policy is reviewed periodically for updates.
