Our Privacy Policy

Southeastern Security Consultants, Inc (SSCI) respects the privacy of our offline/online visitors and clients. It is our policy to maintain the confidentiality and privacy of any personal data voluntarily submitted to us in writing or while visiting our website. We will use the information obtained from our visitors and clients for internal purposes only, so that we may respond to your inquiries in a complete and timely manner and provide regular updates on new products and services available from our company.

Security

We take steps to protect against the loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration of personally identifiable information collected through this Web site. We recognize the importance of security for all personally identifiable information collected by our Web site. We exercise care in providing secure transmission of your information from your PC to our servers.

Once we receive personally identifiable information, we take steps to protect its security on our systems. Prior to employment, all SSCI applicants must successfully complete a rigorous background screening program.  Once approved, these employees are put through intensive training and are constantly supervised to ensure compliance to internal policies and procedures.

We have also implemented measures to protect all “hard copy” documentation.  All critical documentation is securely stored for 30 days in our corporate offices.  During this time, access is strictly limited to those employees who need access to carry out their job responsibilities.  After this time frame has expired, these documents are destroyed utilizing a NAID certified local company.  This process involves on-site destruction and provides certification that 100% of the documents have been effectively demolished.

We have an ICSA certified firewall in place that prevents outside hackers and automated attack programs from penetrating our network.  In addition, we have the latest and most updated anti-virus software in place to prevent viruses from entering our computer network, which reduces the exposure to data destruction and theft via internally placed “stealth” programs.  Knowing that this was not enough, we have also ensured that the best anti-spyware defenses are in place to prohibit spyware from infiltrating our network and clandestinely gathering our data.  Finally, a rock solid data backup system is in place that protects our system and data in case of catastrophe.  Backups of this system are stored electronically in a secure off site location.

SSCI also limits access to personally identifiable information to those employees who need access in order to carry out their job responsibilities.

Information Sharing

SSCI does not sell or rent personal information to third parties. SSCI will not disclose your information to a third party without your permission, except as described in this Privacy Policy.

SSCI may disclose personal information as necessary to a third-party representative or subcontractor authorized by SSCI to assist in the background screening investigation. These third parties include service providers that help host or support the web site or otherwise provide technical assistance, court researchers and other service vendors. SSCI transfers to these representatives and subcontractors only the personal information they need to deliver to SSCI (for the benefit of SSCI’s client) the requested product or service. SSCI prohibits these third parties from using that information for any other purpose. SSCI requires that these parties maintain commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of your information.

Policy Changes

We may revise this online Privacy Policy from time to time so that we may continue to improve SSCI’s products and services. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent announcement on the website and in the customer's interface.
