Policy 05

Security policy.

Our practical approach to protecting SBS systems, accounts and the information entrusted to them.

Effective: 13 October 2026

1. Security approach

We use layered, proportionate security measures based on the service, the sensitivity of the information and the risks involved. Security is considered when services are designed, configured, changed and supported.

2. Access and accounts

3. Platform and supplier controls

We use managed technology providers appropriate to the relevant SBS system, including Supabase, Resend and Cloudflare services. We consider provider security and data-protection measures when selecting and maintaining services, and use secure connection methods where available.

4. Secure operation

We maintain processes for service changes, protection of secrets and credentials, appropriate backups, monitoring and review. We seek to address identified vulnerabilities and security issues in a proportionate and timely way.

5. Security incidents

We investigate suspected unauthorised access, disclosure, loss or alteration of data. We will take reasonable steps to contain and remediate an incident and will notify affected customer organisations where required by our role and agreement.

6. Reporting a concern

If you believe an SBS account, application or website has a security issue, contact info@smart.businesssolutions.com with a description of the issue. Please do not include passwords, payment details or other sensitive information in an unencrypted email.
