Trust & Security.
How POLAR CIRCUIT LLC approaches security, incident handling, vendor risk, and compliance transparency for a static-first public website and client service work.
Security posture
POLAR CIRCUIT LLC designs public marketing websites to be simple, static-first, low-dependency, and easy to audit. The public website does not currently include user accounts, a payment flow, ad pixels, or non-essential cookies.
This page describes the security practices we use for our public website and the baseline practices we expect for client work. Engagement-specific security requirements should be written into the applicable Statement of Work.
Website architecture
- Static-first delivery. Public pages are designed to be prerendered and served through edge/CDN infrastructure where possible.
- No public login surface. The marketing site does not expose account registration, passwords, or customer dashboards.
- No card processing. The website does not collect payment card data and does not operate a checkout.
- Reduced third-party runtime. Fonts and images are served locally by the application build; analytics and advertising scripts are not currently installed.
Operational controls
| Control area | Current practice |
|---|---|
| Access control | Least-privilege access for repositories, hosting, DNS, CMS, and client systems where supported. |
| Authentication | Multi-factor authentication is used where available for critical business systems. |
| Transport security | Production deployments should use HTTPS/TLS across all public routes. |
| Source control | Client code is managed in version control with reviewable change history. |
| Secrets | Secrets should be stored in platform secret managers or environment-variable stores, not committed to source code. |
| Dependencies | Production builds are checked for known package vulnerabilities during development. |
| Backups and recovery | Static source, content exports, and CMS data handling are defined per engagement. |
Incident response
If we learn of a security incident affecting POLAR CIRCUIT LLC systems or client data under our control, we will assess scope, contain the issue, preserve relevant evidence, remediate the cause, and notify affected parties where required by contract or law.
For personal data incidents subject to GDPR, we support assessment of whether regulator notification is required within the 72-hour GDPR window. Client-specific breach notification duties should be defined in the applicable SOW or Data Processing Addendum.
Vulnerability reporting
If you believe you found a security issue on polarcircuit.com or in a Polar Circuit-managed client property, email signal@polarcircuit.com with enough detail to reproduce the issue.
Please avoid accessing, modifying, deleting, or exfiltrating data; interrupting service; or testing third-party systems without authorization. We do not currently operate a bug bounty program.
Compliance notes
- SOC 2: POLAR CIRCUIT LLC does not currently claim SOC 2 certification.
- PCI-DSS: The public website does not process, store, or transmit payment card data.
- HIPAA/GLBA/FERPA: We do not accept regulated health, financial, or education data unless an SOW specifically addresses the required controls.
- GDPR/CCPA: Privacy, cookie, subprocessor, and rights-request information is published in the legal pages linked from the footer.
- Accessibility: We target accessible, keyboard-operable pages and publish an Accessibility Statement.
Client project security
Security requirements vary by client, platform, industry, and data type. For client work, we recommend documenting hosting, access management, CMS roles, backup expectations, incident notification, dependency maintenance, uptime expectations, and data-processing responsibilities in the SOW.
Where a client requires elevated controls such as SOC 2 evidence, HIPAA workflows, PCI segmentation, penetration testing, or formal vendor questionnaires, those requirements should be scoped before work begins.
