Data Security Model

CFTS applies a structured approach to protecting client data across all stages of its lifecycle, from storage and access to transmission and backup.

This ensures that data remains secure, controlled, and recoverable at all times.

Multi-Layered Data Protection

Data security is implemented across multiple layers, including:

  • infrastructure security
  • controlled access to systems
  • encryption of data
  • monitoring and audit controls

This reduces the risk of data exposure or unauthorised access.

Controlled Access to Data

Access to data is managed through:

  • role-based access controls
  • restricted administrative privileges
  • secure authentication mechanisms

Only authorised users are able to access systems and data, based on defined permissions.

Encryption & Data Protection

CFTS protects data through:

  • encryption in transit using secure protocols
  • encrypted storage where required
  • encrypted backup systems

This ensures that data remains protected both during transfer and while stored.

Secure Backup & Retention

Data protection extends to backup systems, including:

  • secure backup storage
  • controlled retention policies
  • protection against data loss or corruption

This ensures that data remains recoverable and intact over time.

Monitoring & Visibility

Systems are continuously monitored to:

  • track access and activity
  • detect unusual behaviour
  • provide visibility into data usage

This supports early identification of potential risks.

Ongoing Security Management

Data security is maintained through continuous operational processes, including:

  • regular review of access controls
  • system configuration checks
  • adherence to defined security practices

Why This Matters

Data security is not a single control, but a combination of measures working together.

CFTS ensures that data is:

  • protected from unauthorised access
  • securely stored and transmitted
  • continuously monitored
  • recoverable in the event of failure

This is essential for organisations that rely on the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of their data.
