Data Security Policy

1. Security Commitment

At MiarichPay, data security is not just a priority—it’s fundamental to everything we do. We employ industry-leading security measures to protect your sensitive information and maintain the trust you place in us.

Our comprehensive security framework covers data protection at rest, in transit, and during processing, ensuring complete protection throughout the entire data lifecycle.

2. Encryption Standards

Data Encryption

All sensitive data is protected using advanced encryption technologies:

• AES-256 Encryption: Industry-standard encryption for data at rest
• TLS 1.3: Latest transport layer security for data in transit
• End-to-End Encryption: Complete protection from source to destination
• Key Management: Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) for key protection
• Perfect Forward Secrecy: Ensures past communications remain secure

Tokenization

Sensitive payment data is tokenized to minimize exposure:

• Credit card numbers replaced with secure tokens
• Original data stored in secure, isolated environments
• Tokens are meaningless if intercepted
• Compliance with PCI DSS tokenization standards

3. Access Controls

Multi-Factor Authentication

All access to our systems requires multiple authentication factors:

• Username and password (something you know)
• SMS or app-based codes (something you have)
• Biometric verification when available (something you are)

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Access to data is strictly controlled based on job responsibilities:

• Principle of least privilege
• Regular access reviews and updates
• Automatic access revocation upon role changes
• Comprehensive audit trails for all access
