Security

At Guste Build LLC (operating as GusteBuild), protecting the information our clients entrust to us is a core part of how we work. This page describes the measures we take to safeguard data across our website and services. Security is an ongoing effort, and we continuously review and improve our practices.

1. Data Encryption

• In transit: Our website and client-facing tools are served over HTTPS using current TLS encryption.
• At rest: Where we store client data with third-party providers, we rely on providers that encrypt data at rest using industry-standard methods.

2. Access Controls

• Access to client data is limited to personnel who need it to deliver services (least-privilege principle).
• We use strong, unique credentials and enable multi-factor authentication on key accounts and platforms where available.
• Access credentials shared by clients are handled confidentially and revoked when no longer needed.

3. Infrastructure and Hosting

Our website and services run on reputable cloud and hosting providers that maintain robust physical and network security controls. We keep software and dependencies updated and apply security patches promptly.

4. Data Minimization and Retention

We collect only the information needed to provide our services and retain it only as long as necessary for legitimate business and legal purposes. Contact form submissions and project data are deleted or anonymized when no longer required. See our Privacy Policy for details.

5. Secure Development Practices

• We follow secure coding practices and review automations and integrations before deployment.
• Secrets, API keys, and credentials are stored securely and never committed to public repositories.
• Contact forms include anti-spam protections and server-side validation.

6. Third-Party Providers

We engage trusted third-party providers (for hosting, email delivery, and analytics) that maintain their own security programs. We assess providers for appropriate safeguards and bind them to confidentiality and data-protection obligations. See our Data Processing Addendum for more on how we handle data on your behalf.

7. Incident Response

We maintain procedures to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents. If a confirmed incident affects data we process on your behalf, we will notify affected clients without undue delay and take steps to contain and remediate the issue.

8. Your Role in Security

Security is a shared responsibility. We encourage clients to use strong, unique passwords, enable multi-factor authentication, limit who has access to shared accounts, and notify us immediately of any suspected compromise.

9. Reporting a Vulnerability

If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in our website or services, please report it responsibly to contact@gustebuild.com. We appreciate disclosures that give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate and remediate before public disclosure.
