Building Trust Through Secure Foundations

To expand on my earlier blog, I wanted to give a look behind the scenes a bit through a series of blogs to help showcase how at Interloc, strong security isn’t just a technical requirement, it’s our promise to you, our customer.

Our promise is that the systems you rely on are built with intention, monitored with diligence, handled with care, and protected through a comprehensive framework grounded in industry leading best practices and frameworks.

Our customers entrust us with their most important digital assets, and we take that commitment seriously. Here’s an inside look at how we safeguard that very data through robust access controls, continuous security testing, disciplined change control, and a security program shaped by global standard and engrained within our people.

Let’s start off with a few of the mentioned items, today I’ll take you through access controls, and security testing/vulnerability management, next time the journey will be through change control and the overall program.

Ensuring the right access for the right people:

Access control sits at the core of our cybersecurity strategy. We design our environments to ensure that only the right individuals & systems can access or view business, sensitive, or even your information.

At Interloc, that means:

• All identities, humans or otherwise are verified. This ensures that all users, shared/system accounts, and computer systems are properly identified before any access is granted. No assumptions, no shortcuts, zero trust.
• Least privilege is by design and considered at the inception of the identity. We follow strict least privilege and separations of duties principles, ensuring every identity human or otherwise has only the necessary access to perform their roles and business purposes, nothing more.
• Access rights are reviewed on a regular schedule, helping us maintain accurate records, reducing insider risk, and ensuring only authorized users are provided access both from our side, and even yours.

Staying ahead of threats:

Cybersecurity threats evolve constantly, which is why testing, monitoring, and auditing must be equally dynamic. At Interloc we employ a proactive approach by design to identify vulnerabilities early and respond with precision. Allowing us to ensure your data or systems hosted with Interloc are properly cared for from vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities, whether they are related to hardware, software, misconfigurations, accounts, or within boundary layers, we are continuously assessing systems and applications we control. Our systems are scanned weekly, which is aggressive, but when an issue is detected, it is prioritized and addressed swiftly to maintain availability, baselines, and resilience.

Annual internal and external audits are conducted to inspect our security posture to confirm alignment with our policies, procedures, and standards. When standards such as ISO and NIST are updated, we bring in external experts to validate our practices and ensure we remain steadfast and prepared for any regulatory expectations.

Lastly, we have deployed a robust suite of monitoring tools, centralized by our Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform to deliver real-time visibility into all activity across networks, systems, and applications. This includes but is not limited by:

• Alerts on suspicious behaviors
• Log collection and correlations
• Anomaly detections
• Forensic support in the event of an incident

This level of vigilance enables us to detect potential and real security issues early, respond quickly, and maintain transparency across our operational environment.

Security isn’t something we check off a list, it’s a culture, a commitment, and a competitive advantage. At Interloc, we’re proud to provide the governance, safeguards, and continuous oversight that allow our customers to operate confidently and securely. My next blog we will dive into the overall security program and change control.
