Additionally, while most of the computing resources we utilize are provided by cloud providers that are themselves NIST and GDPR compliant, including Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and the Google Office suite, where we do utilize non-cloud resources, we employ industry recognized best of breed security tools and techniques to protect those resources and the data they house or process.
