Resistance Applied Metabolic Prescription (RAMP) Platform
Version 3.93
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Cybersecurity Policy is to establish the standards and controls required to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data within the RAMP platform.
RAMP is a health-adjacent, outcomes-driven fitness infrastructure that may process personal, biometric, and health-related data. As such, security is treated as a core component of the platform architecture, not an afterthought.
2. SCOPE
This policy applies to:
- All RAMP software systems and databases (including Claris FileMaker Pro environments)
- Hosting environments (including third-party providers such as FMPHost)
- All employees, contractors, operators, and partners
- All devices accessing RAMP (iPad, mobile, desktop)
3. SECURITY PRINCIPLES
RAMP adheres to the following core principles:
- Least Privilege Access
- Defense in Depth
- Encryption by Default
- Auditability and Transparency
- Scalability to Healthcare Standards (HIPAA-aligned readiness if necessary)
4. ACCESS CONTROL & AUTHENTICATION
4.1 User Access
- Unique user credentials are required for all users
- Shared accounts are strictly prohibited
4.2 Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Access is governed by defined roles:
- Administrator (restricted)
- Developer (limited elevated privileges)
- Operator/Coach (functional access only)
- Member (read/write limited to personal data)
4.3 Authentication Standards
- Strong password enforcement (minimum length, complexity)
- Session timeouts enforced
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) not required but supported
5. DATA ENCRYPTION
5.1 Encryption at Rest
- All RAMP databases are encrypted using AES-256 encryption
5.2 Encryption in Transit
- All communications are secured using SSL/TLS protocols
- Unencrypted connections are prohibited
6. NETWORK SECURITY
- Systems are hosted in secured environments with firewall protection
- Access ports are restricted to required services only
- VPN or secure tunneling is recommended for administrative access
- Continuous monitoring of network activity is enforced
7. DATA PROTECTION & PRIVACY
7.1 Data Classification
RAMP classifies data into:
- General Data
- Personally Identifiable Information (PII)
- Health-Related Data (HRD)
7.2 Data Handling
- Sensitive data is restricted based on role
- Data masking is applied where appropriate
- Data minimization principles are followed
7.3 Compliance Alignment
RAMP is designed to align with:
- General data protection best practices
8. BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY
- Automated daily backups with redundancy
- Offsite encrypted backup storage
- Periodic recovery testing
- Defined Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
9. APPLICATION SECURITY
- Scripts and database schema are restricted from unauthorized access
- Full-access privileges are tightly controlled
- Regular internal reviews of scripts and workflows
- Protection against reverse engineering through access limitation and obfuscation
10. API & INTEGRATION SECURITY
- All integrations use authenticated APIs
- Token-based authentication (OAuth or equivalent) is preferred
- Rate limiting and access controls enforced
- Third-party integrations are vetted for security compliance
11. MONITORING & AUDIT LOGGING
- All system access is logged, including:
- Login attempts
- Data access and modifications
- Export activity
- Alerts triggered for:
- Failed login attempts
- Suspicious behavior patterns
12. PATCH MANAGEMENT
- All systems are maintained with current security updates
- Regular review of:
- Server software
- Operating systems
- Dependencies and plugins
13. INCIDENT RESPONSE
13.1 Incident Identification
Security events are monitored and classified based on severity
13.2 Response Protocol
- Immediate containment of affected systems
- Investigation and root cause analysis
- Notification of stakeholders as required
13.3 Recovery
- Systems restored from secure backups
- Post-incident review conducted
14. PHYSICAL & DEVICE SECURITY
- Server environments are physically secured
- Devices accessing RAMP must:
- Use passcodes
- Enable device encryption
- Support remote wipe capabilities
15. THIRD-PARTY RISK MANAGEMENT
- Vendors are evaluated for security posture
- Hosting providers must provide:
- Encrypted environments
- Backup redundancy
- System monitoring
RAMP maintains a platform-agnostic architecture, allowing migration to enterprise or healthcare-compliant environments as required.
16. EMPLOYEE & OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
All users must:
- Follow access control policies
- Protect login credentials
- Report suspicious activity immediately
- Complete periodic security awareness training
17. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
RAMP cybersecurity policies are reviewed:
- Annually
- Upon major system changes
- Following any security incident
