                                              Annex 2 - Security Measures

This Annex forms part of the DPA.

We currently observe the Security Measures described in this Annex 2. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings as set forth in the Master Terms.

a) 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. The 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 Client products. Clients who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public Client data.

Authorization: Client Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Clients via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Clients 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 an API key or through Oauth authorization.

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 Client websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in our source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.

Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers for four annual penetration tests. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.

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.

iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements

Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to Client data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective Client support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through “just in time” requests for access; all such requests are logged.

Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high-risk privilege grants are initiated daily. Employee roles are reviewed at least once every six months.

Background checks: All DealRoom employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with and as permitted by the applicable laws. All DealRoom employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.

b) Transmission Control

In-transit: We make HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces and for free on every Client site hosted on the DealRoom 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 have implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.

c) Input Control

Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated 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 Client damage or unauthorized disclosure.

Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

d) 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 HVAC services.

Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail- over protections during a significant processing failure. Client 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 database. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.

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.

As an industry leading Client success solution provider, we understand that our clients are entrusting us with sensitive and confidential business data. To that end, we are committed to support industry leading security practices, to ensure our Clients’ information is kept safe.

DealRoom has based our security management practices on the ISO 270001 standard for information security management systems (ISMS). By following this framework, our team performs the following high-level activities on a regular basis:

  • Performing regular security reviews internally and with external auditors to ensure ongoing governance and risk mitigation
  • Performing ongoing monitoring and analysis of our network infrastructure to detect threats and suspicious activities
  • Performing ongoing and onboarding security training for our staff
  • Practicing secure development and ongoing security thread analysis on our software and infrastructure

Following are key practices and principles of our security programs

Data Center & Physical Security

DealRoom is hosted on Amazon Web Services infrastructure (AWS), an industry leading provider of data center. AWS provides a rich set of security and compliances for their data centers as explained on their website.

This includes physical security and environmental controls to ensure the data is kept safe from human attack and environmental hazards.

Data access and Encryption

All Client data stored in DealRoom is encrypted using strong encryption. This related to both “in-flight” (network traffic) and “at rest” (stored on disk) data.

Only our technical staff has access to Client data, and our team is training to review custom data only for the purpose of troubleshooting in relation to a Client support case. Access to custom data is audited and we review these logs regularly to ensure compliance. Technician level access to data is only possible using secure connection and multiple factor authentication (MFA).

Secure Software Development

Any new feature and product enhancement we implement goes through a security review during design. Additionally, any code committed to our code base goes through a code-review process ensuring code quality and adherence to standards. We also perform regular penetration testing and automatic scanning to validate no security vulnerabilities exist in our platform.

Network Security

Our data center is protected with firewalls, shielding Clients from attacks or scans. Technician level access is only available through our VPN, requiring two layers of authentication (MFA) just to gain basic network access.

System Monitoring, Logging and Alerting

We perform extensive monitoring and logging of our servers and the application running on them. This includes monitoring of basic server metrics (CPU, memory), access logs and application-level logs. All telemetry data is centralized and we an extensive alerting framework to be alerted of any critical item

Backup

All Client data is backed up daily. Backup data is stored securely, in an encrypted fashion in our Amazon data center. We perform regular restore tests to ensure our backup procedure is sound.

Employee Training and Security

DealRoom technical staff goes through security training when upon joining our organization and at least annually during regular training. All employee computers and laptops are centrally managed to ensure critical OS and application patches are installed, antivirus software is properly running and configured, strong login passwords and disk encryption are enabled, and other critical policies to ensure employee devices are kept secure.

All employees go through background and reference checks upon hiring, as allowed by local employment rules.

Compliance

DealRoom is ISO-27001 certified and uses that as our security framework. Additionally, our hosting provider AWS has obtained the relevant compliance levels as listed here.
