A company that securitizes the wealth and therefore financial future of many needs to have its security built like a bunker. This bunker is operated by the Chief Technology Officer Mindaugas Garuckas. As DHF Capital S.A.’s data security expert, he feeds the security watchdog its daily meals and tells you about our security measures.
A Holistic System of IT Professionals
Creating a secure financial ecosystem requires more than just technology—it demands expertise across the entire IT spectrum. At DHF Capital S.A., our approach is holistic. "We have employees with expertise across the IT field starting from hardware to software, programming, and cybersecurity," shares Mindaugas. “The goal is not just to solve problems but to empower our team with diverse skills, ensuring a proactive defense against any conceivable threat.”
Fortifications Against the Digital Threats
In a world where cyber threats lurk at every corner, DHF Capital S.A. has erected a formidable defense to be sure the data is only used by the ones it is meant to. "The company implements firewalls, antivirus software, regular software updates, access controls, data encryption, incident response plans, and backup and recovery plans. All these measures combined ensure the safety of all data in the company and stored according to international law," emphasizes Mindaugas.
Prioritizing Encryption: A Non-Negotiable Priority
When it comes to securing our data, compromising is not an option. Costs are made, but Mindaugas explains that "we use the best third-party providers with their services to ensure top-of-the-line security. It usually costs way more for us, but we are a lot safer that way." Opting for the best, even if it comes at a higher cost, underscores our commitment to securing your data, both at rest and in transit.
Precision in Access Control for Unparalleled Security
"Access to customer data is controlled through protocols like Role-Based Access Control, where permissions are tied to job roles and monitoring is enforced through logging and analysis of access activities," elucidates Mindaugas. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a method of regulating access to computer or network resources based on the job roles of individual users within an organization. In an RBAC system, each user is assigned one or more roles, and each role has certain permissions associated with it. Mindaugas: “Rather than assigning permissions directly to users, access is granted based on a user's role.”
Constant Vigilance through Security Audits
In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, staying ahead requires constant vigilance. DHF Capital S.A. not only monitors security constantly but also ensures that the entire infrastructure is upgraded quarterly or on demand. “Regular audits and updates are not just routine,” Mindaugas explains. “They are strategic measures to preempt potential vulnerabilities.”
Educating and Empowering the Team
Cyber threats are constantly around the corner. Therefore, education is the first line of defense. Mindaugas: "The company implements training programs to educate employees on data security on topics such as secure password practices, phishing awareness, and the importance of safeguarding sensitive information. What e-mail did we receive? Why shouldn’t you open it? Why is this ‘customers’ request a false one?”
Transparency and Trust: Communicating with Clients
Transparency is a cornerstone of our data security philosophy. Clients are not kept in the dark. DHF Capital S.A. proactively communicates its data security efforts through transparent channels such as the official website, privacy policies, and dedicated security departments. "Clients need to be informed. We are not only obliqued too, but we owe them that. It’s a shared form of trust. Not only through the regular channels, but also during personal contact moments we share any security updates and answer their questions. It's their wealth, their goals, and their financial future.”
