Attachment 1 

Technical and Organizational Security Measures  

This Attachment 1 sets out a description of the technical and organizationalsecurity measures that must be implemented  by Company. 

Company takes information security seriously and this approach is followed through in its Processing and transfers of  Personal Information/ Personal Data.

Some Company solutions may have alternate safeguards outlined in the applicable  statement of work, or equivalent document. 

Access Control to Processing Areas  

Company implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data  processing equipment where the Personal Information/ Personal Data is Processed or used. This is accomplished by: 

Maintaining a high standard of physical security in all Data Importer facilities e.g.swipe card access, on site guards, locked  doors between different parts of the building, zone level access control. 

Ensuring that applications are logically separated in their deployed tiers 

Maintaining an active information security program which includes ISO 27001 standards. 

Internal and external audit programs 

Security testing both as part of the Company security but also vulnerability scanning within the operational environment. Regular patching and software updates are applied as required. 

Access Control to Data Processing Systems  

Company implements suitable measures to prevent its data processing systems from being used by unauthorized persons.  This is accomplished by:

Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems 

Company commits that the persons entitled to use its data processing system are only able to access the data within the  scope and to the extent covered by its access permission (authorization) and that Personal Information/ Personal Data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization. This shall be accomplished by: 

Appropriate access control is maintained to Company systems and Customer Data is highly protected in line with our  data classification and treatment policies.

All users are required to use named accounts and access to systems  and data is logged. 

Transmission Control  

Company implements suitable measures to prevent the Personal Information/ Personal Data from being read, copied,  altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data  media. This is accomplished by:

RFPIO Data Processing Agreement Confidential Page 6 of 14 

Sensitive Personal Information/ Personal Data is encrypted during transmission using up to date versions of TLS or other  security protocols using strong encryption algorithms and keys or is transferred over private network connectivity. 

Input Control  

Company implements suitable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom  Personal Information/ Personal Data have been input into data processing systems or removed. This is accomplished by: 

Utilization of user identification credentials, authentication of the authorized personnel, session time outs etc. 

Job Control
