Data minimization
Collect only information appropriate to the purpose and avoid requesting highly sensitive data through general website forms.
Information security & privacy
Protecting information is part of protecting people and operations.
ASQS’s information-governance framework is designed around appropriate access, responsible collection, secure handling, retention discipline, incident escalation, and clear accountability.
ASQS enterprise perspective
Information should be collected and used with purpose.
Workforce, payroll, HR, property, healthcare-support, vendor, client, and business-administration services may involve sensitive information. ASQS seeks to limit collection to what is reasonably needed and to separate public, internal, confidential, and restricted information.
Security controls depend on the information, system, service scope, legal requirements, client instructions, and vendor environment. No public page should be interpreted as claiming a certification or control that has not been independently confirmed.
Framework
Information-governance priorities
Technology, people, contracts, and operating procedures must work together.
Access and accountability
Provide access based on role and need, protect credentials, and maintain responsibility for authorized use.
Vendor and system review
Consider security, privacy, data location, retention, incident response, and contractual responsibility when selecting tools and partners.
Incident readiness
Establish reporting, containment, investigation, communication, recovery, and corrective-action responsibilities.
Operating model
Responsible information lifecycle
Protection should extend from collection through final disposition.
- 01
Collect
Define purpose, notice, consent where appropriate, required fields, and secure intake method.
- 02
Use and share
Limit use and disclosure to authorized business, employment, service, legal, or safety purposes.
- 03
Retain and protect
Apply appropriate access, storage, backup, monitoring, and retention practices.
- 04
Dispose and improve
Delete or archive information responsibly and use incidents or audits to strengthen controls.
Commitments
Website and operating safeguards
- No Social Security numbers or banking data through initial website forms
- Restricted access to submitted résumés and requests
- Documented privacy and retention expectations
- Prompt escalation of suspected unauthorized access
