Corporate Security Principles

• Employee Security/Privacy Training: We follow a yearly training plan for all our personnel, covering secure use of data, password security, social engineering awareness, GDPR and compliance topics. The training plan also includes social engineering exercises, such as phishing tests.
• Encryption in transit: Our products use state-of-the-art encryption to secure transmission of your data over the internet.
• Access Control: We use user management processes and systems to ensure least privilege and need-to-know principles. Our user rights and roles are regularly reviewed.
• Internal SSO: We use a single-sign-on service to streamline authentication to our infrastructure and internal applications.
• Password Security: Our password policy follows state-of-the-art practices and includes a requirement for use of MFA on all systems. Passwords are stored encrypted in a company managed password manager.
• Logging: We have enabled logging of relevant security events in our environment.
• Security Information and Event Management: Relevant security logs of our infrastructure are centrally stored and protected from unauthorized access. Alarms are created automatically for several potential security threats.
• Network Time Protocol: Our systems use the same, standard time servers throughout our infrastructure.
• Monitoring: Our systems and services are subject to availability monitoring. Alarms are configured for timely notification in case of an unplanned outage.
• Infrastructure Security: We utilize infrastructure-as-code techniques to securely deploy resources in our environment.
• Backup and Restore: We conduct backups on a regular basis. To ensure the quality of backups, we perform restore tests to be able to quickly restore our products in the event of a data loss.
• Data Deletion: We have procedures and technical measures in place to ensure that your data is deleted after our contract with you has ended or upon your request.
• Endpoint Security: Our endpoints are equipped with full-disk encryption, DNS filtering to protect web traffic as well as an Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR) system to protect against malware and other attacks.
• Email Protection: We use a mail protection system that also scans links and attachments in our mail flow for security threats.
• Data Loss Prevention: Removable media on endpoints is restricted. Endpoints are equipped with a data loss prevention system to detect/prevent data exfiltration.
• Security Operations Center
• Multi-client capabilities: The architecture of our products ensures that customer data is adequately separated from each other.
• Separation of Environments: Customer data is never transferred to non-production environments.
• Firewall: We use firewalling to monitor and control traffic in our infrastructure.
• Physical Security: As we do not operate our own data centers, for physical security of our infrastructure we rely on our cloud provider Exoscale: www.exoscale.com/compliance

Security/privacy controls in our software development lifecycle

• Secure Development Policy: Our developer policy establishes security and privacy controls across the entire development lifecycle – from design to deployment.
• Code Analysis: We use tools to identify issues in our code and third-party dependencies.
• Security Testing: Whenever we launch a new product or release a major update, we ensure a comprehensive penetration test is performed to identify potential risks from vulnerabilities, insecure configurations or outdated encryption.
• Developer Training: We ensure our internal developers receive regular training in secure software development techniques and technologies.
