Grapefruit Health’s Position On Security
V1 - June 2023
Governance
Grapefruit Health’s (GFH) Security and Privacy teams establish policies and controls, monitor compliance with those controls, and prove our security and compliance to third-party auditors.
Our policies are based on the following foundational principles:
Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business need and granted based on the principle of least privilege.
Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the principle of defense-in-depth.
Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the enterprise.
The implementation of controls should be iterative, continuously maturing across the dimensions of improved effectiveness, increased audibility, and decreased friction.
What level of data security do you hold?
We currently have SOC2 and are pursuing HITRUST in the coming months
Data protection
Data at rest
All datastores with customer data, in addition to S3 buckets, are encrypted at rest. Sensitive collections and tables also use row-level encryption. This means the data is encrypted even before it hits the database so that neither physical access, nor logical access to the database, is enough to read the most sensitive information.
Data in transit
All web traffic is encrypted via HTTPS, requiring TLS 1.2 or higher everywhere data is transmitted over the internet. Server TLS keys and certificates are managed by AWS and deployed in the Application Load Balancers that manage traffic into the application.
Secret management
Encryption keys are managed via AWS Key Management System (KMS). KMS stores key material in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), which prevents direct access by any individuals, including employees of Amazon and GFH. The keys stored in HSMs are used for encryption and decryption via Amazon’s KMS APIs.
Product security
AWS Web Application Firewall is in place to reduce exposure to code injection and denial-of-service attacks.
AWS Guard Duty is in place for threat detection.
Enterprise security
Endpoint protection
All corporate devices are centrally managed and are equipped with mobile device management software and anti-malware protection (BitDefender). Endpoint security alerts are monitored with 24/7/365 coverage. We use MDM software to enforce secure configuration of endpoints, such as disk encryption, screen lock configuration, and software updates.
Vendor security
GFH uses a risk-based approach to vendor security. Factors which influence the inherent risk rating of a vendor include:
Access to customer and corporate data
Integration with production environments
Potential damage to the GFH brand
Once the inherent risk rating has been determined, the security of the vendor is evaluated in order to determine a residual risk rating and an approval decision for the vendor.
Secure remote access
GFH secures remote access to internal resources through requisite multi-factor authentication.
Security education
GFH provides comprehensive security training to all employees upon onboarding and annually through educational modules within GFH’s own platform. In addition, all new employees attend a mandatory live onboarding session centered around key security principles. All new engineers also attend a mandatory live onboarding session focused on secure coding principles and practices.
Data privacy
At GFH, data privacy is a first-class priority—we strive to be trustworthy stewards of all sensitive data.
