Client data protection is built into the VGI workflow. We safeguard aerial imagery, GIS files, inspection reports, project records, and client information through secure storage practices, controlled access, and encryption-supported data handling, including AES-256 encryption where applicable.
AES-256 is a widely used advanced encryption standard that helps protect digital information by converting files and data into unreadable code unless accessed through authorized systems. In simple terms, it adds a strong layer of protection to help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive project information.
Clients do not need to manually obtain AES-256 encryption. AES-256 is commonly built into secure cloud storage, encrypted drives, and protected file-sharing platforms. When sharing project information with VGI, clients are encouraged to use secure file-sharing methods, avoid public links, limit access to authorized users, and use password protection when appropriate.
Our goal is simple: keep client data organized, protected, and accessible only to authorized users.
