Annex 2 - Security Measures
We currently observe the Security Measures described in this Annex 2. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein will have the meanings as set forth in the General Terms.
a.
Information Security Policy
We maintain and adhere to an internal, written Information Security Policy.
We maintain and adhere to an internal, written Information Security Policy.
b.
Access Control
i) Preventing Unauthorized Product Access
Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. We do not own or maintain hardware located at the outsourced infrastructure providers’ data centers. Production servers and client-facing applications are logically and physically secured from our internal corporate information systems. The infrastructure providers' physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.
Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing Customer Personal Data in their account.
Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using authorization or private app tokens.
ii) Preventing Unauthorized Product Use
We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
Static code analysis: Code stored in our source code repositories is checked for best practices and identifiable software flaws using automated tooling.
Endpoint Harding: Endpoints are hardened in accordance with industry standard practice. Workstations are protected using anti-malware and endpoint detection & response tools, receiving regular definition and signature updates.
iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
Privileged Access Management: Privileged access in our product environment is controlled, monitored, and removed in a timely fashion through “just in time access” (or “JITA”) controls. Non-personal accounts used for system access are stored in a secure vault with additional controls governing privilege elevation and account check out processes.
Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, product development and research, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through JITA requests for access; all such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high-risk privilege grants are initiated daily. Administrative or high-risk access permissions are reviewed at least once every six months.

Transmission Control
In-transit: We require HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) on all login interfaces and for free on every customer site hosted on the products. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We take a layered approach of at-rest encryption technologies to ensure Customer Data and Customer-identified Permitted Sensitive Data are appropriately encrypted.

d.
Incident Management, Logging, and Monitoring
Incident Response Plan: We maintain a written Incident Response Plan, playbooks, and other necessary processes and procedures to fulfil the standards and obligations reflected therein.Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behaviour, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
Response and tracking: We maintain a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, we will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure. Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

e.
Availability Control
Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services.
Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to multiple durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones.
Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary instance. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.
Disaster Recovery Plans: We maintain and regularly test disaster recovery plans to help ensure availability of information following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes.
Our products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.

f.
Vulnerability Management Program
Vulnerability Remediation Schedule: We maintain a vulnerability remediation schedule aligned with industry standards. We take a risk-based approach to determining a vulnerability’s applicability, likelihood, and impact in our environment.
Vulnerability scanning: We perform daily vulnerability scanning on our products using technology and detection standards aligned with industry standards.
Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry-recognized penetration testing service providers for penetration testing of both the web application and internal corporate network infrastructure at least annually. The intent of these penetration tests is to identify security vulnerabilities and mitigate the risk and business impact they pose to the in-scope systems.
Bug bounty: A bug bounty program invites and incentivizes independent security researchers to ethically discover and disclose security flaws. We implement a bug bounty program in an effort to widen the available opportunities to engage with the security community and improve the product defenses against sophisticated attacks.
