Technical and Organizational Security Measure
Details
Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data
Company has deployed secure methods and protocols for transmission of confidential or sensitive information over public networks. Databases housing sensitive customer data are encrypted at rest. Company uses only recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit and Customer Data is securely encrypted with strong ciphers and configurations when at rest.
Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services
Company’s customer agreements contain strict confidentiality obligations. Additionally, Company requires every downstream Subprocessor to sign confidentiality provisions that are substantially similar to those contained in Company’s customer agreements.

Company has undergone a SOC 2 Type 2 audit that includes the Security and Processing Integrity Trust Service Criteria.
Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident
Periodic (at least weekly) of production datastores are taken.

Backups are periodically tested in accordance with information security and data management policies.
Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing
Company has undergone a SOC 2 Type 2 audit that includes the Security and Processing Integrity Trust Service Criteria.
Measures for user identification and authorization
Company uses secure access protocols and processes and follows industry best-practices for authentication, including the ability to enable Multifactor Authentication. All production access requires the use of JWT for authentication. Network infrastructure is securely configured to vendor and industry best practices to block all unnecessary ports, services, and unauthorized network traffic.
Measures for the protection of data during transmission
Company has deployed secure methods and protocols for transmission of confidential or sensitive information over public networks. Company uses only recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit (i.e. TLS 1.2)
Measures for the protection of data during storage
Encryption-at-rest is automated used. All keys are fully managed by AWS or Google.
Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed
All Company processing occurs in physical data centers that are managed by AWS or Google.
Measures for ensuring events logging
Company monitors access to applications, tools, and resources that process or store Customer Data, including cloud services. Monitoring of security logs is managed by the security and engineering teams. Log activities are investigated when necessary and escalated appropriately.
Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration
Company adheres to a change management process to administer changes to the production environment for the Services, including changes to its underlying software, applications, and systems. All production changes are automated through CI/CD tools to ensure consistent configurations.
Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products
Company undergoes annual SOC 2 Type II.
Measures for ensuring data minimisation
Company’s Customers unilaterally determine what data they route through the Services. As such, Company operates on a shared responsibility model.
Measures for ensuring data quality
Company ensures that data quality is maintained from the time to time. Customer sends Customer Data into the Services and until that Customer Data is presented or exported.
Measures for ensuring limited data retention
Customers determine what data they route through the Services. As such, Company operates on a shared responsibility model. If a Customer is unable to delete Personal Data via the self-services functionality of the Services, then the Company deletes such Personal Data upon the Customer's written request, within the timeframe specified in this DPA and in accordance with Applicable Data Protection Law. All Personal Data is deleted from the Services following service termination.
Measures for ensuring accountability
Company has adopted measures for ensuring accountability, such as implementing data protection and information security policies across the business, recording and reporting Personal Data Breaches, and formally assigning roles and responsibilities for information security and data privacy functions. Additionally, the Company conducts regular third-party audits to ensure compliance with our privacy and security standards.
Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure
Personal Data submitted to the Services by Customer may be deleted at the Customer’s request.

Personal Data is incidental to the Company’s Services. Based on Privacy by Design and Data Minimization principles, Company severely limits the instances of Personal Data collection and processing within the Services. Most use cases for porting Personal Data from Company are not applicable.
Technical and organizational measures of sub-processors
The Company enters into Data Processing Agreements with its Authorized Sub-Processors with data protection obligations substantially similar to those contained in this DPA.
