Trust & Safety

Security

Protecting your data and our learning platform is our highest priority. Here's how we keep Medizen Institute safe and secure.

Last updated: May 2025

Data Encryption

  • All data transmitted between your device and Medizen Institute's servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security), the gold standard for internet security.

  • Sensitive data at rest, including personal information and payment records, is encrypted using AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by financial institutions and government agencies.

  • Your passwords are hashed and salted using bcrypt before storage, meaning even our internal team cannot view your plain-text password.

Infrastructure Security

  • Our platform is hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with multiple redundancy layers, ensuring 99.9% uptime and resilience against outages.

  • We maintain isolated environments for production, staging, and development. Student data is never accessible in non-production environments.

  • Regular automated and manual penetration testing is conducted on our systems to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Access Control

  • Access to student data is strictly role-based. Only authorised personnel with a legitimate business need can access personal information, and all access is logged and audited.

  • Our administrative systems are protected by multi-factor authentication (MFA) and VPN access requirements for remote connections.

  • We follow the principle of least privilege — employees are granted only the minimum access rights necessary to perform their job functions.

Monitoring & Threat Detection

  • We employ real-time security monitoring and intrusion detection systems (IDS) that alert our security team to suspicious activities 24/7.

  • All system access and user activity logs are retained for 90 days and reviewed regularly for anomalous behaviour patterns.

  • Our DDoS mitigation system automatically detects and filters malicious traffic, ensuring the learning platform remains accessible to genuine students.

Incident Response

  • In the event of a security incident, Medizen Institute has a documented Incident Response Plan. Affected students will be notified within 72 hours of a confirmed breach.

  • Our security team is trained to classify, contain, and remediate incidents swiftly, minimising potential impact on student data and platform availability.

  • Post-incident, we conduct a thorough root cause analysis and implement preventive measures to avoid recurrence.

Payment Security

  • All payments are processed through PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment gateways. Medizen Institute does not store any credit or debit card information on its servers.

  • We integrate with trusted payment processors including Razorpay and other RBI-authorised payment aggregators who meet the highest standards of financial data security.

  • Transaction records are maintained securely for accounting and audit purposes and are never shared with unauthorised parties.

Your Role in Security

  • Use a strong, unique password for your Medizen Institute account. We recommend using a password manager and enabling two-factor authentication where available.

  • Never share your login credentials with others. If you suspect your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at medizeninstitutevigilance@gmail.com or WhatsApp +91 81170 91792.

  • Be cautious of phishing attempts. Medizen Institute will never ask for your password via email, WhatsApp, or phone calls.

Reporting Security Issues

  • We take security vulnerabilities seriously. If you discover a potential security issue on our platform, please report it responsibly to medizeninstitutevigilance@gmail.com.

  • We have a responsible disclosure policy and commit to acknowledging reports within 48 hours and providing regular updates on our investigation.

  • We deeply appreciate the security community's efforts in helping us keep our students safe. Valid, responsible disclosures are recognised and appreciated.
