DATA SOVEREIGNTY & IP PROTECTION POLICY
How We Protect Your Intellectual Property & Data
Saudi enterprises are historically sensitive about offshore delivery models. We address this head-on with structural Zero-Trust infrastructure, complete data sanitization, and enforceable legal protections.
1. Zero-Trust Access & Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Client-Controlled Bastion Architecture: AEITCH engineers never hold persistent administrative keys. Access to any cloud environment is channeled through client-hosted bastion jump boxes or AWS/Azure Session Manager with multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Time-Bound Ephemeral Credentials: All session tokens expire after maximum 60 minutes and require explicit client authorization for renewal.
Comprehensive Audit Logging & Session Recording: 100% of shell commands, database queries, and deployment events are logged directly into client-controlled CloudTrail or SIEM systems.
2. Absolute Production Data Sanitization
Strict Data Boundary: Production customer data NEVER touches local developer machines, offshore staging environments, or external systems.
Synthetic Test Data Generation: Our QA teams generate statistically accurate synthetic datasets mimicking production schema distributions without containing a single real PII record.
Automated Loss-Prevention Scanners: All Git commits and pull requests are automatically analyzed by automated secret and PII scanners to ensure zero accidental credential or record commits.
3. Legal, Contractual, & IP Assignment Safeguards
Dual Legal Entity Flexibility: Clients can contract directly with our US corporation (standard commercial governance under Delaware/California law) or via localized Saudi commercial agreements.
Irrevocable IP Assignment: Comprehensive assignment clauses stipulate that all intellectual property, source code, designs, and database schemas created during the engagement belong exclusively and immediately to the client.
Strict Bilateral NDAs: Non-disclosure agreements with heavy contractual damages protect all commercial trade secrets, architectural blueprints, and business plans.
4. Physical & Infrastructure Security
Enterprise MDM & Encrypted Hardware: All engineering machines are centrally managed via Mobile Device Management (MDM) with enforced FileVault/BitLocker full-disk encryption and remote wipe capabilities.
Clean Desk & Screen Shielding Policies: Offshore hubs operate under strict physical access controls, biometric entrance verification, and clean-screen protocols.
Background-Checked Senior Personnel: Every engineer assigned to client pods undergoes rigorous criminal background checks and identity verification.
