Technical and Organizational Security Measures
This document describes technical and organizational security measures and controls implemented by Company to protect Personal Data and ensure the ongoing confidentiality and integrity.

1. Security measures
The servers for the online and offline systems, databases, and data protection (backup) are run and maintained at Amazon Web Services (AWS)/ Google Cloud Services (GCP) in professional and secured data centers. The subcontractors are selected carefully and with respect to their security awareness and their expertise based on audits and certificates. Some of the relevant safeguards of the following checklist are not shown separately because it is the responsibility of subcontractors or is not published in detail for the sake of maintaining the security of confidentiality.

2. Access control
The access control to the server infrastructure occurs by the security infrastructure of Amazon web services IAM security policies and there through AWS ensured control system. During all operations time, the entrance to Company premises is secured by a personalized fingerprint detection system. Also, outside of the times of business operation, the office entrance is permanently and automatically monitored by cameras. In addition, the outer doors of the building are closed mechanically. An access control by key cards allow entrance to the building, while in the reception area is manned during times of the business operations. The entrance area is secured with optical space surveillance (video).Internet lines are secured with firewall and every computer runs an anti-virus and malware detection system.

3. Admission control
The unauthorized use of computer systems is prevented by:

Personal Computers:
Company uses Google GSuite as its office services tool and relies on google security systems and password management via google gsuite.Each owner has his own passwords known only to him, which may not be distributed. In case of any disclosure of one of the passwords, it has to be changed immediately. The quality of passwords is subject to defined requirements and is continuously checked. For all activities related to the DP system, reports shall be created automatically.

  • Password assignment,
  • Blocking multiple incorrect password attempts,
  • Multi-factor authentication if possible,
  • Use one-time passwords if possible.

Servers/ databases/ services:

  • Private/public key authentication as required by Amazon Web Services
  • VPN secured connections from outside of AWS premises.
  • Multi-tier provisioned personal private/public key authentication for different users
  • Access control and permissions per key – managed in AWS Identity and Access Management system (IAM)

The restriction of access possibility of beneficiary for using a data processing system exclusively on the data authorized for access is controlled via AWS/ GCP Identity and Access Management system (IAM).

The unauthorized reading, copying, modification, or removal of data during transfer is prevented by SSL and SSH encryption of data transmission, Completeness checks if relevant, and Development of the transport connection is only between defined and secured certificates of systems.

4. Availability Control
The data security from accidental loss or destruction is guaranteed by:
Redundant data storage in AWS S3/ GCP Cloud Storage service, timely data aggregations per days, weeks, and months periods, Software exclusion: Breakdown of the servers for independent and autonomous fulfillment of the tasks (shared-nothing between server architecture), Multiple incremental data backup, Data backups with a timetable which appropriately reflects data changes while using, Multiple data nodes in a distributed data system and Data Base redundancy via real-time replications,  Additional measures of AWS/ GCP data integrity systems.

5. The separation rule according to the principle of earmarking
Personal data is permitted to be used only for the purpose for which they were originally collected.
Data collected for different purposes can be processed separately and is guaranteed by:

  • Software exclusion (client separation, multi-tenant architecture)
  • The database principle, separation by access control
  • Separation of test and production data
  • Separation of development and production environment.
