Security & Data Protection

At WABII Branding, protecting your data is just as important as producing exceptional branded merchandise.

We work with organizations across mining, real estate, food production, transportation, healthcare, finance, and government sectors—so we understand the importance of secure systems, responsible data handling, and trusted vendor relationships.

From artwork files and employee gifting lists to event logistics and confidential product launches, we take every reasonable measure to safeguard the information entrusted to us.

Our goal is simple:

You focus on your brand. We’ll protect everything that supports it.

Our Security Commitment

WABII follows an internal framework known as the WABII Secure Handling Standard, built around three core principles:

  • Protect client data, artwork, and sensitive information
  • Maintain secure systems, devices, and vendor relationships
  • Ensure transparent and responsible data practices

Security is integrated into our day-to-day operations—not treated as an afterthought.

 

Secure Systems & Infrastructure

 
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

All core WABII systems—including email, CRM platforms, proofing tools, project portals, and cloud storage—are protected using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

 
Encrypted Devices

All company-issued laptops and mobile devices use:

  • Password protection
  • Disk encryption
  • Automatic screen locking
  • Security update enforcement

 

Enterprise Password Management

We use enterprise-grade password management tools to maintain strong, unique, and regularly updated credentials across our organization.

 
Secure Cloud Storage

Client files, proofs, artwork, and order documentation are stored in encrypted cloud environments with controlled permissions, audit visibility, and version history.

 
Network & Device Protection

Our systems are routinely updated with current security patches and monitored to maintain compliance with modern cybersecurity best practices.

 

Secure File Sharing & Communication

 

Protected Upload Links

We provide secure upload methods for artwork, client lists, shipping data, and confidential documents—reducing reliance on unsecured email attachments.

 
Expiring Download Links

Sensitive file links may automatically expire after a designated period to limit unnecessary exposure.

 
Verified Communication Practices

All official communications are sent through authorized WABII Branding domains and business systems.

We will never request passwords, payment credentials, or sensitive information through unofficial channels.

 

Minimal Data Collection

We only collect the information necessary to complete your project, fulfill your order, or support your account.

 

Vendor & Supply Chain Security

We work with a large network of suppliers, decorators, fulfillment partners, and logistics providers across North America and internationally.

Approved partners are evaluated using our internal Vendor Security Screening Checklist, which may include review of:

  • Secure order portals and file handling
  • Encrypted data transmission
  • Artwork retention and deletion practices
  • Privacy and confidentiality procedures
  • Compliance with applicable North American data standards

 

This helps ensure your information remains protected throughout the production and fulfillment process.

 
Data Retention & Deletion

We believe sensitive information should not be stored longer than necessary.

 
Typical Retention Practices
  • Artwork & proofs: typically removed approximately 90 days after project completion unless ongoing storage is requested
  • Client lists & spreadsheets: removed after fulfillment or project closure
  • Portal uploads: securely archived or automatically purged based on project requirements
  • Accounting records: retained only as required for legal, financial, or audit obligations
 
Data Deletion Requests

Clients may request deletion of project-related files or sensitive information at any time, including:

  • Artwork files
  • Employee or recipient lists
  • Shipping spreadsheets
  • Confidential project documentation

 

We will confirm once removal has been completed.

 

Team Training & Access Control

Cybersecurity Awareness Training

WABII team members receive ongoing training related to:

  • Password security
  • Phishing awareness
  • Safe file handling
  • Email security
  • Responsible data management
 
Role-Based Access Controls

Access to client information is limited strictly to authorized personnel involved in the project or account.

Access permissions are reviewed regularly and revoked immediately when roles change or contractor engagements end.

 

Ongoing Security Maintenance

 

To maintain strong operational security, WABII conducts regular internal reviews that may include:

  • User access audits
  • Password and authentication reviews
  • Removal of outdated files and proofs
  • Vendor portal evaluations
  • Device compliance checks
  • Software update and patch verification

 

Our approach is proactive and continuously evolving alongside industry best practices.

 

Trusted Platforms & Technology Partners

WABII utilizes reputable, enterprise-grade platforms and providers that maintain their own robust security programs and compliance standards, including frameworks such as:

  • SOC 2
  • ISO 27001
  • GDPR-aligned practices

 

These technologies support:

  • Secure cloud storage
  • Client portals
  • Project management
  • Order tracking
  • Collaboration and approvals

 

Using established platforms allows us to extend strong security protections throughout the client experience.

 

Business Continuity & Reliability

We maintain operational practices designed to support continuity, reliability, and secure recovery in the event of technical disruption.

This includes:

  • Cloud-based infrastructure
  • Redundant storage practices
  • Controlled backup systems
  • Vendor continuity considerations

 

Our objective is to minimize disruption while maintaining the integrity and security of client data.

 

How Clients Can Work Securely With Us

For the safest experience, we recommend clients:

  • Upload artwork and files using secure upload links whenever possible
  • Use corporate email addresses for approvals and sensitive communications
  • Review proofs and shipping information carefully before approval
  • Notify us immediately if any communication appears suspicious or unexpected
  • Request deletion of files when projects are complete, if desired

 

We’re always happy to support secure collaboration practices.
