Security Practices & Policies

At work.flowers, we maintain rigorous security standards to protect our company data, employee information, and digital assets. This document outlines our core security practices and tools.

🔐 Password Management

We use 1Password as our company-wide password manager, ensuring:
  • Secure storage of all company credentials
  • Strong, unique passwords for each service
  • Safe credential sharing between team members
  • Audit trails for access and updates

🔑 Multi-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We enforce mandatory 2FA or passkeys for all applications that support them:
  • Enabled for all company accounts
  • Preference for phishing-resistant Passkeys (e.g. biometric, hardware-backed)
  • Backup codes stored securely in 1Password
  • Regular reviews of authentication compliance

💻 Device Management

All company-issued devices are enrolled in mobile device management (MDM) software to ensure:
  • Centralised configuration and monitoring
  • Automatic system updates and patching
  • Remote wipe capabilities for lost or stolen devices
  • Enforced encryption, screen locks, and app control

🧐 Employee Security Responsibilities

All employees are expected to follow these ongoing security practices:
  • Never share passwords or authentication tokens
  • Report security incidents promptly
  • Keep all systems and applications up to date
  • Lock devices after no more than 3 minutes of inactivity

🔍 Access Control

We apply a least-privilege access model:
  • Access is granted strictly based on role requirements
  • Regular reviews of access levels to minimise risk
  • Immediate revocation of access when no longer needed

📂 Client Data Handling

We treat client data with the utmost confidentiality:
  • Access is limited to authorised personnel
  • Data is only stored when necessary and deleted after engagement completion (unless otherwise agreed)
  • All credentials are stored securely in 1Password
