Transparency is part of the product.
Friam Limited builds compliance products that customers can show a regulator. We hold ourselves to the same standard. Below are the policies, statements, and commitments that govern how we protect your data, deliver our services, and conduct our business across the whole EveryGuard family.
Our approach to privacy
Friam operates a ‘privacy by design’ model. Our marketing sites use no analytics cookies, no advertising pixels, and no cross-site trackers — only strictly-necessary cookies for security and core function. We don’t interrupt you with a consent banner because we don’t do invasive tracking. Pageview tracking on our sites is first-party and session-scoped, with no third-party data sharing.
Every policy, in one place.
These documents apply across Friam’s products. Where a clause is specific to a particular product or regulated activity, it says so.

How we keep your data safe.
A plain-English summary of our security posture. The full detail is in the Information Security Overview, which is aligned with the principles of ISO/IEC 27001:2022. We have not pursued formal ISO 27001 certification; as an early-stage company we apply these controls proportionately to our size and risk, and continuously review and improve them.
UK data residency
Our primary infrastructure — database, document and image storage, and document text extraction — runs on Amazon Web Services in the London region (eu-west-2), giving UK data residency for the large majority of the personal information we hold.
Encryption everywhere
Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Signed compliance documents and audit packs are SHA-256 hashed, so any tamper is detectable.
Least-privilege access
Role-based, need-to-know access controls. Magic-link authentication for end-user logins (no passwords stored for trainees); account passwords are hashed with bcrypt.
Resilience & recovery
Automated daily database backups with point-in-time recovery. Documented recovery procedures for critical systems, and cached public Trust pages so customer-facing pages stay available during a brief backend outage.
Breach notification
Incident response aligned with the UK GDPR 72-hour ICO notification rule. Where we process data on a customer’s behalf, we notify them without undue delay so they can meet their own obligations.
Vetted sub-processors
A short, named list of sub-processors, each under a data processing agreement. The full list and the two narrow flows that occur outside the UK are set out in the Privacy Policy.
Built on official UK sources.
Our compliance products reproduce and summarise UK legislation and official guidance — drawn from legislation.gov.uk and GOV.UK — so that the firms we serve can understand the duties that apply to them. That material is Crown copyright, made available for reuse under the Open Government Licence.
