Annex 1 to the DPA (technical and organizational measures)

Description of the technical and organizational measures implemented by Processor as verified and confirmed by Controller:

Access Control to Processing Areas

Data Importer implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining physical access to the data processing equipment where Personal Data is processed or used, in particular:

• Site access is tracked and documented.
• Site access is supervised and secured by an appropriate security system and/or security organization.
• Visitors will be continuously escorted.

Access Control to Data Processing Systems

Data Importer implements suitable measures to prevent the data processing systems used for the processing of Personal Data from being used or logically accessed by unauthorized persons, in particular:

• User identification and user authentication methods are in place to grant controlled access to the processing system.
• Access control and authorizations are defined according to a ‘need to have’ principle.
• Data Importer’s internal endpoints used to support the software service are protected to prevent unwanted access to the systems and to avoid infiltration of malicious software. This covers technologies as firewalls, antivirus detection, malware detection, intrusion detection and prevention and others. These technologies will be adjusted to new levels based on the overall development in these areas.

Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

Data Importer implements suitable measures within the applications so that the persons entitled to use the 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 data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without proper authorization, in particular:

• Data Importer informs its personnel about relevant security procedures including possible consequences of breaching the security rules and procedures.
• For training purposes Data Importer will only use anonymous data.
• Access to the data is either done from a controlled location or via a controlled network access.
• End devices used to access the data are protected by up to date client protection mechanisms.

Transmission Control

Data Importer implements suitable measures to ensure that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization during electronic transmission, transport or storage on storage media, and that the target entities for any transfer of Personal Data by means of data transmission can be established and verified (data transfer control), in particular:

• Control of data transfer between Data Exporter and the Data Importer supplied software service: a) Data Importer’s software services use encryption to ensure confidentiality and integrity/authenticity when transferring data from the Data Exporter to the software service. b) Control of data transfers between Data Importer and Sub Processors:
• In addition to the contractual agreed areas, data retrieval is only allowed for dedicated support activities and only for authorized support staff. a) The authorization process for Data Importer support staff performing data transfers is regulated through a defined process. b) If data has to be copied to specific media for transport to a 3rd party, these media will be treated with discernment in accordance with the sensitivity of the data. c) Documented procedures for the secure transfer of Personal Data are established.

Input Control, Processing Control and Separation for different purposes

Data Importer implements suitable measures to ensure that Personal Data is processed safe and solely in accordance with the Data Exporter’s instructions, in particular:

• Access to data is separated through application security for the appropriate users.
• The application supports the identification and authentication of users.
• Application roles and resulting access is based on roles based on the function to be executed within the application. When reasonable and feasible, Data Importer may implement in their software controls to validate data input and/or to track usage or modification of data.
