Soteria Consult handles ledgers, payroll and tax records for churches, schools, hospitals, NGOs and corporates. Every one of those records is protected by layered technical and operational controls — described here in full, without marketing gloss.
Principles are only useful when they constrain decisions. These constrain ours.
01
Least privilege by default
New members receive the narrowest role that lets them work. Elevation is explicit, time-aware and logged.
02
Defence in depth
Perimeter, application, database and operational controls each assume the layer in front of them may fail.
03
Secure by default configuration
Encryption, row-level authorisation and audit logging are switched on at provisioning, not added later.
04
Segregation of duties
Preparation, review and approval sit with different people. No single individual can move value unobserved.
05
Evidence over assertion
Every control we claim produces a record. If it cannot be evidenced, we do not present it as a control.
06
Tested recovery
Backups are only credible once restored. Restore rehearsals are scheduled, not improvised during an incident.
If something goes wrong
Incident response, from detection to written review
No provider can promise nothing will ever happen. We can promise exactly what happens next.
01
Detect
Monitoring, alerting and client reports feed a single intake channel.
02
Triage
Severity assigned within the hour; a named incident lead takes ownership.
03
Contain
Access revoked, sessions invalidated and affected systems isolated.
04
Notify
Affected clients informed with facts, scope and interim mitigations.
05
Remediate
Root cause fixed, controls strengthened, evidence retained.
06
Review
Written post-incident report with actions, owners and dates.
