Advanced Security Measures
To Keep Your Information Safe
Geographic Solutions adheres to a detailed risk assessment and defense process to properly define requirements and design appropriate security solutions.

Holding Ourselves and Our Partners
To the Highest Standard
Geographic Solutions is committed to the principle of treating everyone fairly and consistently, creating a workplace and business environment that is open, transparent, and trusted. We have a zero-tolerance position on violations of individuals' basic human rights, and in particular, support the aims and remedies encoded within the International Labour Organization Convention No. 29 on Forced Labour and the United Kingdom's Modern Slavery Act of 2015.
We hold all our partners and affiliations accountable, and we immediately address concerns if we suspect that they are not upholding the principles enshrined within our zero-tolerance position on violations of basic human rights and within international legislation. This applies to all personnel employed by or engaged to provide services to Geographic Solutions, including, but not limited to, employees, officers, and temporary employees of Geographic Solutions and Geographic Solutions' U.S. and international subsidiaries, and independent contractors.
Every employee is responsible for reading, understanding, and complying with our anti-slavery/anti-trafficking protocols. Geographic Solutions’ management is responsible for ensuring that employees who report to them, directly or indirectly, comply with these guidelines. If you have any questions or concerns relating to these guidelines, consult Geographic Solutions’ human resources department.
Violations or abuses can be reported to our Red Flag Hotline. Geographic Solutions will not tolerate retaliation against an employee for reporting a concern in good faith or for cooperating with a compliance investigation, even when no evidence is found to substantiate the report. Violation of our anti-slavery/anti-trafficking protocols may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Geographic Solutions and its subsidiaries have the exclusive right to interpret this policy regarding their respective employees. Violation of the laws against human trafficking may also result in criminal prosecution of responsible individuals.

Modern slavery is a criminal offense and a violation of fundamental human rights. Geographic Solutions will not tolerate this, and we are committed to doing business in a responsible and sustainable way. This includes a commitment to do all that we reasonably can to prevent all forms of modern slavery in any part of our own business and our supply chain.
Through strategic partnerships and affiliations, we can scale the impact of our software even further than initially imagined. Below are just a few of the industry organizations that we have aligned our company with.
