Robust Data Security
Infrastructure: Our platform is hosted on industry-leading cloud infrastructure that is SOC 2, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS compliant, providing a secure foundation for your data.
Encryption: All data, including personal information and job details, is protected with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS encryption in transit.
Access Controls: We enforce strict role-based access controls and the principle of least privilege for our internal systems and databases to protect against unauthorized access.
NIST Alignment: Our security practices are designed in alignment with recognized frameworks such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and NIST Privacy Framework to ensure a comprehensive approach to data protection.
Regular Assessments: We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (simulated) to identify and remediate potential security weaknesses.
Unwavering Data Privacy
No Data Sharing for Third-Party Marketing: We have a strict policy against selling or sharing your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Your trust is paramount.
Purpose Limitation: Data collected is used exclusively for providing and enhancing the Catalyst platform services, such as facilitating job matching and improving user experience.
User Control & Transparency: We believe you should have control over your data. Our platform provides mechanisms for you to manage your information, and our full Privacy Policy details your rights.
Anonymization for Analytics: When we analyze data to improve our platform and services, it is always anonymized and aggregated to protect individual privacy.
Responsible & Ethical AI
Bias Mitigation in Matching: Our AI algorithms are engineered to focus on objective criteria such as skills, experience, and qualifications relevant to GovCon roles. We actively work to identify and mitigate potential biases related to gender, ethnicity, age, or other protected characteristics.
Transparent AI Processes: While the specifics of our proprietary algorithms are confidential, we strive to provide users with a clear understanding of how matches are generated and the key factors involved.
Secure AI Data Handling: Any data used in the development or operation of our AI systems is handled with the same rigorous security and privacy standards applied to all user data. Personal data is not used to train general AI models outside the direct functioning of the Catalyst platform without explicit consent or thorough anonymization.
Continuous Monitoring & Improvement: Our AI models and matching systems are continuously monitored and evaluated for fairness, accuracy, and ethical performance.
