  • Incident Response Data: Digital forensics evidence is maintained in tamper-evident storage with complete chain of custody documentation
  • Vulnerability Data: Security flaws and weaknesses are disclosed only to client stakeholders following responsible disclosure protocols
  • Threat Intelligence: Indicators of compromise and attack signatures are anonymized before any potential sharing with threat intelligence communities

Third-Party Security Integration

Our cybersecurity services may integrate with third-party security tools, threat intelligence platforms, or external security services. We carefully vet all third-party integrations and ensure they meet our security standards.

When integrating with external security platforms, we implement additional safeguards including data minimization, encryption bridges, and contractual data protection requirements. Clients maintain control over which third-party integrations are authorized for their engagements.

We strongly recommend that clients review the security and privacy practices of any third-party security tools or platforms used in their environment, as these may have separate data handling practices outside eth0lux's control.
