Security measure and Details of the measure

Compliance framework

We have internal policies and procedures that are kept under review, a designated privacy officer and external specialist data protection advisers to support our compliance.

Training

All relevant personnel are trained to understand data protection and to apply its principles within their roles.

Firewalls

Network devices are managed within a secure management network and servers are secured by firewalls. In both instances SSL/TLS secure encryption protocols are used.

Anti virus

All of the servers we manage have antivirus and malware scanners installed and have updates applied frequently.

Encryption

Data in transit is always encrypted to a minimum standard of 256 bit

Access controls

We offer various options for you to choose from including:
– email / password
– strong passwords
– two-factor authentication
– SAML (Okta and OneLogin or any other agreed by us)
– Google Account Login

Data partitioning

Each client’s data is logically separated from that of other clients in our databases. Our code automatically tests to ensure each client’s data is not mixed with that of another client.

Access limitations

Your Data is only accessible by a small number of personnel in our development team on a ‘need to know’ basis.

Resilience

Our infrastructure is designed to be resilient. Our main database is ‘highly available’ such that, if one server goes offline, the other servers will pick up the work and contains replica data to ensure there is no downtime.

All servers that serve our application are load balanced and can distribute load/requests to at least 3 servers.

Monitoring

We perform daily port scanning on public IP addresses to ensure there are no unexpected changes. Configuration management is dealt with by scripts with are kept and managed in our private version control system.

Security testing

Our entire application is scanned by external technically skilled individuals to try to break, gain unsolicited access to, and “hack” our systems in a safe way in order to find flaws or potential weaknesses in our platform.

We have some continual end-to-end testing of our server cluster to ensure specific key indicators are working correctly and use software to log and track these with a combination of active checks and, for back-ups, passive checks. Team members are alerted if an expected behaviour has not executed as expected.

Critical events

Our code is written to log any critical events for our developers to address.

Back-ups

Our databases are backed-up continuously. Whilst our main datastore holds replicas of data at all times, we also run our other databases with duplicate data in them ready to swap over should the need arise.

Multiple snapshots of the entire database are taken daily and they are stored on a separate server from the one that holds live data.

From these various back-ups, we are able to restore the entire database in the event of a physical or technical incident in a timely manner.

Disaster recovery

We maintain a disaster recovery plan to test our disaster recovery which is tested at least annually.

Secure hosting

We currently use leading third parties to provide hosting services. They have all been vetted and authorised by a designated approver within Orlo as part of our supplier on-boarding process and we have written contracts with each of them incorporating appropriate data protection provisions to protect your personal data.

Audit trails

Our software normally maintains a record of many of your users’ activities when using our application such as which user creates or edits a post, or created any free text notes on your followers messages. You can view these audit logs through the application.

Other Measures

If we agree any alternative or additional measures in writing specifically referring to this Annex 2 of the Data Protection Addendum, we will implement and maintain these accordingly.
