Security & Trust

Security Built Into Every Engagement.

NativeCode applies practical safeguards to protect client information, control system access, and reduce risk across consulting, analytics, content, and digital-growth engagements.

Our access is limited to what is necessary for each engagement, and client systems remain under the client's control unless access is expressly granted.

Our Security Approach

Limited Access

NativeCode does not require access to client systems by default. When access is necessary, it is limited to approved systems and the minimum permissions required.

Identity Protection

Company accounts use strong passwords and multifactor authentication where supported.

Secure Devices

Client work is performed on company-managed Apple devices protected by built-in macOS security controls, device encryption, screen locking, and current software updates.

Data Minimization

NativeCode collects and accesses only the information needed to perform the agreed services.

Controlled Sharing

Client information is not shared with unauthorized third parties or uploaded to external platforms or generative AI tools without authorization.

Confidentiality

Client information is handled as confidential and used only for the purposes of the engagement.

Access Is Limited by Design

NativeCode primarily provides SEO, AEO, GEO, content strategy, analytics, reporting, and consulting services.

System access is not required by default. When a client chooses to grant access, permissions are limited to the approved scope of work.
