Client Data Privacy

How ForeFront handles, segregates, and protects your data throughout the engagement lifecycle.

Secure Client Collaboration

ForeFront segregates client data by customer. Project-related communications and documents are stored in dedicated collaboration spaces with permissions restricted to approved ForeFront staff and approved client users only. External sharing is facilitated through explicitly permissioned, client-specific locations managed by ForeFront IT, preventing cross-client data exposure.

Access to Client Environments

Access to client systems and environments is governed by strict controls:

  • Need-to-know access — Only team members with an approved business need are granted access to client environments or data.
  • Multi-factor authentication — Required for all access to client systems and internal platforms.
  • Centralized identity management — Single sign-on and conditional access policies ensure consistent enforcement.
  • Least-privilege permissions — Access is scoped to the minimum level required for the role.
  • Access tracking — All access approvals and changes are tracked and managed by the IT team.

Data Handling During Engagements

ForeFront protects client data throughout every phase of an engagement:

  • Encrypted communications — Client project data and communications are encrypted during transmission and at rest across all collaboration platforms.
  • Data loss prevention — DLP controls are applied to reduce the risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information through email or messaging.
  • Data classification — Information is classified and handled according to its sensitivity level as defined by ForeFront policy.
  • Identity validation — Required before releasing sensitive information to external parties.

Contractual Protections

Client contracts, master service agreements, and security supplements further restrict access to client data, prohibit shared credentials, and require prompt notification in the event of a suspected or confirmed data incident involving client information.

Device & Endpoint Requirements

All devices used to access client data or communications must meet ForeFront security standards:

  • Full disk encryption
  • Endpoint management and compliance monitoring
  • Antivirus and endpoint detection and response (EDR)
  • Remote wipe capability for lost or stolen devices
  • VPN with MFA for remote access

Non-compliant devices are denied access to ForeFront systems and client environments.

Monitoring & Compliance

Client data privacy is supported by continuous monitoring, including vulnerability scanning, endpoint telemetry, and audit logs. These controls are independently validated through ForeFront’s annual SOC 2 Type II attestation.
