Information Security

Core statement

Flow Group Ventures structures relevant engagements around the commercial, privacy, employment, marketing, technology, contractual, and data requirements applicable to the client, service, and jurisdiction. Where an engagement requires licensed, regulated, or jurisdiction-specific advice, Flow Group Ventures may coordinate with qualified local professionals or require the client to obtain appropriate advice.

Scope of this standard

Information security covers access, identity, endpoint, network, application, and vendor-side controls across the group's internal systems and engagement delivery.

How we apply it in practice

The operating controls used across engagements. Every control is calibrated to the applicable jurisdiction and role.

• Identity and access management with role-based access
• Least-privilege access to client data
• Endpoint and device baseline controls
• Encryption in transit for data movement
• Vendor review before onboarding
• Documented incident response and escalation
• Vulnerability reporting channel (see below)

Governance lifecycle

Every engagement moves through a documented five-stage governance lifecycle.

• Identify — the applicable commercial, privacy, employment, marketing, and technology considerations.
• Assess — the jurisdictions, roles, data, and risk profile in scope.
• Structure — engagement classification, contracts, and controls.
• Review — periodic review across the engagement lifecycle.
• Monitor — ongoing monitoring against outcomes, incidents, and change.
