5. Data Security and Cloud Backup Responsibility
1. Data Security:
All user and client data, including sensitive financial and personal information, will be stored securely on the cloud storage system.
Encryption: All data will be encrypted both in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest to ensure confidentiality and integrity.
Access Control: Role-based access control (RBAC) will be enforced, ensuring that only authorized users can access specific data.
User Authentication: Secure login mechanisms (e.g., two-factor authentication) will be implemented to ensure the security of user accounts and data access.
Compliance: The system will comply with relevant data protection regulations, such as GDPR and the UAE Data Protection Law.
2. Cloud Storage System Responsibility:
The cloud storage system (e.g., Backblaze B2) will take full responsibility for the storage, security, and daily backup of all system data.
The cloud service will handle:
Backup Frequency: Daily automated backups to ensure data integrity and availability.
Disaster Recovery: The cloud provider will have disaster recovery protocols in place to ensure business continuity in case of failure or data loss.
Data Redundancy: The cloud provider will store data in multiple data centers to ensure redundancy and prevent data loss.
