In addition, some data is also stored in Fiserv, Inc. and MeridianLink data centers.

Personal information is further encrypted at rest at the column level. For Lending data, transparent data encryption is enabled to encrypt production databases, backups, and logs at rest.

Data Redundancy and Resiliency

Growers Edge’s infrastructure has been designed to be fault tolerant. All databases are continuously backed up.

Strict Access Controls

Access to all Growers Edge systems is managed through our Product Teams or its managed service provider, which includes user provisioning, 2FA and activity logs.

Server Security and Monitoring

All servers are configured using documented security guidelines, and images are managed centrally. Changes to the company’s infrastructure are tracked, and security events are logged appropriately.

Formal Security Policies and Incident Response Plan

Growers Edge maintains a set of comprehensive security policies that are kept up to date to meet the changing security environment. These materials are made available to all employees during training.

Strict Onboarding and Offboarding Process

Every new hire passes thorough background checks and attends a “Legal and Security” training course and annual Security Awareness Training. Growers Edge disables departing employee’s devices, apps and access during offboarding.

Continuous Security Training

We regularly run internal penetration tests and partner with reputable security firms to run external penetration tests. Additionally, our application development process allows anyone in our organization to test our system and report defects.

Application Monitoring and Protection

All app access is logged and audited by our Product Teams through Azure AD. We also use a wide variety of solutions to quickly identify and eliminate threats, including an Azure Sentinel Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution and Huntress for advanced Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR).

Development and Change Management Process

Code development is done through a documented SDLC process, and every change is tracked via a code repository and ticketing system. Automated controls ensure changes are peer reviewed and pass a series of tests before being deployed to production.

Third-Party Vendor Security Review Process

We ensure all of our third-party apps and providers meet our security data protection standards before using them and review them annually.
