Frequently Asked Questions

Under no circumstances will simUphish engage in the sale of your data to third parties.

simUphish utilizes multiple subprocessors to facilitate the essential functions of the simUphish Cloud Platform. Details about these subprocessors, including their purpose, data shared, security measures, and storage locations, can be found in the Subprocessors section of the Security & Compliance page.

Data stored or transmitted is consistently protected using industry-standard cryptographic cipher suites, algorithms, and protocols. In transit, data is safeguarded with TLSv1.2 encryption, while at rest, it is secured with AES-256 encryption.

simUphish mandates MFA for all users through AWS SSO when accessing the production AWS environment. This policy extends to all our subprocessors, where MFA is required for all user access.

simUphish offers configurable data storage options during the account setup process. You have the flexibility to select your preferred location from a range of choices including Australia, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, or Singapore. The data stored in the chosen location encompasses employee lists, phishing campaign statistics, training campaign statistics, employee risk scoring, and scheduled reports.

As part of the simUphish onboarding process, national police checks are conducted in the jurisdiction where the employee is based. Since all simUphish employees are located in Australia, this involves a national Australian police check, with no adverse outcomes reported for any employee.
