Reviewed By: SICCODE.com Industry Classification Review Team (regulatory, economic, and data governance specialists)

SICCODE.com governance extends beyond accuracy to include how data is protected, accessed, and responsibly used. This page documents our security controls, privacy principles, and regulatory alignment posture to support enterprise, financial, and public-sector use cases.

Scope of this framework

Trustworthy classification systems must demonstrate not only accuracy, but professional controls around security, privacy, and regulatory readiness. This governance framework outlines how SICCODE.com manages these responsibilities for high-stakes use.

Governance principle: Data cannot be considered trustworthy unless it is protected, responsibly handled, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

Security controls and access governance

Access control and least privilege

Governance requires controlled access. SICCODE.com applies access governance principles to protect proprietary classification methods and restrict access to sensitive operational inputs.

  • Role-based access controls (RBAC)
  • Least-privilege access design
  • Operational separation between datasets and workflows

Data protection standards

SICCODE.com uses security practices designed to protect data in transit and at rest, appropriate to modern web applications and enterprise expectations.

  • Encryption practices for sensitive transmission and storage contexts
  • Change control and operational review for governance-critical components
  • Controlled handling of customer-submitted data (where applicable)

Privacy and responsible data use

Although SICCODE.com focuses on business classification data, privacy governance ensures that information is handled transparently and responsibly.

  • Purpose limitation: data is used for classification, verification, and service delivery
  • Transparency: users understand how submitted information is applied
  • Global readiness: privacy principles align with broad regulatory expectations (e.g., GDPR principles)

Regulatory alignment and standards posture

Industry codes frequently flow into regulated environments. SICCODE.com maintains a governance posture designed to support:

  • Alignment to authoritative SIC and NAICS frameworks
  • Documented methodology and expert review oversight
  • Audit-ready governance content for regulated programs

Risk mitigation for enterprise and compliance teams

Governance reduces downstream risk for clients using classification data in AML/KYC, underwriting, government eligibility, and reporting contexts.

  • Explainability: transparent methodology and review structure
  • Consistency: governed lifecycle and change management
  • Trust controls: security and privacy standards suitable for high-stakes use
