4. Workplace Safety & Integrity

The integrity of our workforce is the foundation of the trust our clients place in us. Powerhouse Guardians Corp. maintains rigorous hiring, screening, and ongoing monitoring standards that meet or exceed all applicable Texas regulatory requirements. Every individual deployed under our license has been vetted, trained, and cleared in accordance with the Texas Private Security Act (Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1702) and its implementing regulations.

4.1 Drug-Free Workplace Policy

In compliance with 37 Texas Administrative Code §35.13 (Drug-Free Workplace Policy, as amended September 11, 2024), Powerhouse Guardians Corp. has established and implemented a comprehensive Drug-Free Workplace Policy consistent with the Texas Workforce Commission’s Drug-Free Workplace Policy guidelines. The following standards apply to all employees, contractors, and sole proprietors performing regulated services on behalf of the company:

• Pre-Employment Drug Screening: All regulated personnel are required to pass a drug screening examination prior to commencing employment or deployment. No individual is placed in a security role without a cleared pre-employment drug test result on file.
• Random Testing: Employees are subject to unannounced, random drug testing throughout their employment to maintain a consistently drug-free operational environment.
• For-Cause Testing: Any employee exhibiting behavior consistent with impairment or who is involved in a workplace incident is subject to immediate for-cause drug screening.
• Signed Policy Acknowledgment: A copy of the Drug-Free Workplace Policy is signed by each employee and retained in the employee’s personnel file, as mandated by 37 TAC §35.13(b). Sole proprietors performing regulated services are treated as employees for this purpose under 37 TAC §35.13(c).
• Drug Test Records: Results of all drug tests are maintained in employee records for a minimum of two (2) years from the last date of employment, in compliance with 37 TAC §35.111.

4.2 Background Screening & Continuous Monitoring

All licensed and commissioned personnel undergo comprehensive pre-employment background investigations as required under 37 TAC §35.3. Background checks include criminal history verification through fingerprint-based screening administered by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Powerhouse Guardians Corp. utilizes the Texas Online Private Security (TOPS) system — the DPS’s official web-based licensing and compliance platform — for ongoing, real-time monitoring of the licensure status, background clearance, and continuing education compliance of all regulated personnel.

TOPS enables continuous background monitoring, meaning that any disqualifying event occurring after initial hire is flagged and acted upon promptly, rather than waiting for periodic renewal cycles. This proactive approach ensures that only fully qualified, currently cleared personnel are deployed to client sites at all times.

4.3 Employee Records Retention

Pursuant to 37 Texas Administrative Code §35.111 (Employee Records, as amended January 10, 2022), Powerhouse Guardians Corp. maintains comprehensive digital records for all current and former employees for a minimum of two (2) years from the last date of employment. Records maintained include full name, date of employment, position, residential address, date and place of birth, social security number, photograph, drug test results, pre-employment background check documentation, continuing education certificates, and current duty assignments.

All employee records are maintained in electronic form, are readily retrievable, and are made available to DPS personnel upon request during regulatory inspections, as required by 37 TAC §35.111.

5. Security & Data Governance

As an AI-driven security firm, data integrity is not a peripheral concern — it is central to our value proposition. Our clients trust us with sensitive surveillance footage, access control credentials, and operational security data. We protect that trust through enterprise-grade technical controls, rigorous vendor standards, and documented governance practices.

5.1 Encryption Standards

All client data, video metadata, and access control records are protected using AES-256 (256-bit) encryption — the same standard employed by the U.S. federal government for classified information. Data in transit is secured using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2 or higher). Encryption is applied at rest and in transit across all systems we operate or manage on behalf of clients.

5.2 Cloud Platform Compliance

Our cloud-based surveillance and access control technology partners maintain SOC 2 Type II certification, the industry benchmark for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of cloud-hosted systems. SOC 2 Type II audits are conducted by independent third-party auditors and evaluate controls over an extended observation period, providing a higher level of assurance than point-in-time assessments.

5.3 Audit Readiness

Powerhouse Guardians Corp. maintains comprehensive digital records for all current and former employees for a minimum of two (2) years post-separation, as mandated by 37 TAC §35.111. All records are stored in a readily retrievable electronic format and are available for production to the Texas Department of Public Safety upon request during regulatory inspections. Our record-keeping infrastructure is designed to support rapid response to DPS inspection requests, government contracting audits, and legal discovery obligations.
