Security & Privacy at
SponsorUnited

SponsorUnited builds security into everything we do so businesses can focus on growing and innovating. With SponsorUnited’s end-to-end approach to data security, privacy, and control, all products are built with tools that achieve compliance with confidence and with a security infrastructure that keeps your data safe.

Our policies are based on the following foundational principles:

Access should be limited to only those with a legitimate business need and granted based on the principle of least privilege.

Security controls should be implemented and layered according to the principle of defense-in-depth.

Security controls should be applied consistently across all areas of the enterprise.

The implementation of controls is iterative, continuously maturing across the dimensions of improved effectiveness, increased auditability, and decreased friction.

Product Security

Penetration Testing

SponsorUnited engages with testing consulting firms annually. Our current preferred penetration testing partner is Rhymetec. All areas of the SponsorUnited product and cloud infrastructure are in-scope for these assessments, and source code is fully available to the testers in order to maximize the effectiveness and coverage. We make summary penetration test reports available upon request.

Vulnerability Scanning

SponsorUnited requires vulnerability scanning at key stages of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC):

Static analysis (SAST) testing of code during pull requests and on an ongoing basis
Malicious dependency scanning to prevent the introduction of malware into our software supply chain
Network vulnerability scanning on a period basis
Software composition analysis (SCA) to identify known vulnerabilities in our software supply chain
Dynamic analysis (DAST) of running applications
External attack surface management (EASM) continuously running to discover new external-facing assets
