Data Privacy at Totus Defense Investigations & Research

At Totus Defense Investigations, we understand that the information you entrust to us is highly sensitive and strictly confidential. Protecting the privacy and security of your data, and that of your clients, is not just a policy – it is our highest priority and fundamental to the trust you place in our investigative services. While we leverage Google's secure infrastructure, please be assured that we seamlessly integrate with Microsoft and other workflows to meet your team's needs.

Leveraging Google Workspace for Enhanced Security

To provide robust data protection, we have chosen to conduct the vast majority of our business operations within the secure Google Workspace ecosystem. This means your case files, communications, and collaborative work are managed using tools built upon Google's secure-by-design infrastructure, benefiting from their continuous investment in security and privacy.

We diligently follow the data privacy and security protocols and best practices recommended by Google for its Workspace platform. Our team stays informed on security updates and implements recommended configurations to ensure we are leveraging the full protective capabilities available. We employ features designed to safeguard information against unauthorized access and threats.

Secure Handling, Even Outside the Google Ecosystem

While Google Workspace is our primary environment, we recognize that collaboration sometimes requires adapting to your preferred workflows. On occasions where data must be accessed or shared outside of the Google ecosystem – such as utilizing a client-preferred platform like Microsoft OneDrive, accessing discovery through Axon, or using other proprietary programs specifically authorized by the lead attorney – we do so with meticulous care and only when dictated by case requirements. Our commitment to data security remains paramount regardless of the platform used for necessary collaboration.

Internal Access Controls

Furthermore, access to all Totus Defense Investigations devices and accounts is strictly controlled. We enforce strong authentication measures for all team members, including two-factor authentication (2FA) and/or biometric logins, adding a critical layer of security to prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive information.

Trust Built on a Secure Foundation

By operating primarily within the Google Workspace security shield and adhering to rigorous internal controls, we aim to provide you with complete peace of mind. If you trust the world-class security infrastructure that Google employs to protect data globally, you can be confident in Totus Defense Investigations' commitment to safeguarding your critical information within that same secure framework.
