Security Governance and Management

JobTech employs a structured security control framework based on recognised industry standards to govern its information security practices. These frameworks encompass a standardised set of controls and incorporate widely-used commercially available protective measures. JobTech has developed and maintains a comprehensive set of Information Security Policies and enforcement procedures aligned with these security control frameworks and industry best practices. These policies undergo regular review, at least annually or when there are significant changes in practices or regulatory requirements. JobTech diligently monitors its policies and procedures to ensure they effectively safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our customers' data.

Identification and Authorisation (Access Management)

JobTech has established a formal user registration and de-registration protocol to manage personnel access to processing resources and personal data. Upon personnel termination, access to personal data is promptly revoked, ensuring security. We enforce stringent access controls, granting system entry only to authorised personnel. Authentication is managed centrally, employing robust security measures like strong passwords, Single Sign-On (SSO), and mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Access to JobTech systems is restricted solely to Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, safeguarding data integrity and confidentiality.
