INFORMATION PROTECTION AND SECURITY STANDARDS
This document constitutes the Information Protection and Security Standards schedule (the “IPSS”) attached to that certain Master Terms and Conditions (the “MSA”) made by and between Impact Ventures, LLC (d/b/a Double the Donation) (the “Provider”) and the client organization listed on the signature page to the MSA (the “Client”). All terms used and not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the MSA.
The Provider relies on Microsoft Azure and Double the Donation leverages the comprehensive and state-of-the-art security capabilities provided by Microsoft.
The Provider has defined an information security program implementing, in accordance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO), policies, procedures, administrative and technical safeguards to minimize security risks, through risk assessment, and to protect its customers’ data against accidental or unlawful loss, access or disclosure or other misuse.
As used herein, “Customer Data” means any personal data that Provider processes on behalf of the Client via the Services, as more particularly described in the MSA.
For more information on our security practices and reporting, see our Trust Center, which is subject to change, from time to time, by notice.
The information security program includes the following measures:
INFORMATION SECURITY ORGANIZATION AND POLICIES
The Provider has implemented and maintains an Information Security Management System (ISMS) and a comprehensive information security program which is documented, available, and communicated to employees and subcontractors.
The effectiveness of the information security program is regularly monitored and reviewed, and, in any event, at least annually. Adjustments and strengthening are applied as appropriate, based on the results of such monitoring, as well as in response to operational changes that may affect the ISMS.
HUMAN RESOURCES SECURITY
The Provider has implemented and maintains appropriate measures to ensure that personnel (employees and contractors) involved in the processing of Customer Data are authorized with a need to access the data, are bound by appropriate confidentiality obligations and have undergone appropriate training in the protection and handling of Customer Data.
The Provider has implemented and maintains an acceptable use policy for Provider personnel usage of the Provider’s devices, systems, and infrastructure, as well as management of customer information, including Customer Data. The Provider monitors policy compliance and will take appropriate action in response to violations.
An Information Security Awareness Program (ISAP) is defined in relation to the handling and protection of Customer Data and to compliance with the ISMS so that personnel are aware of established information security policies and security rules. Such ISAP provides initial education, on-going awareness and addresses the evolving non-technical security threats introduced by human behavior as well as data protection regulations.
The Provider ensures that access to Customer Data is revoked immediately upon termination or when access is no longer required for personnel involved in the processing of Customer Data.
The Provider ensures that personnel involved in the Customer Data processing are screened, to the extent permitted under applicable law, in accordance with industry best practices for performing criminal background screening.
PHYSICAL SECURITY
Policies and procedures, and supporting business processes, are in place for maintaining a safe and secure working environment in the Provider’s offices and to control physical access.
The Provider relies on Microsoft who is responsible, in accordance with Azure facilities, premises, and physical security policies (available at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/fundamentals/physical-security), for implementing controls for physical security of data center facilities, backup media, and other physical systems, providing comprehensive and state-of-the-art security capabilities.
ACCESS CONTROL
The Provider has implemented and maintains access control processes and mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access to Customer Data and to limit access only to authorized personnel with a business need to know. Such processes and mechanisms are supported by an enterprise-grade password manager centrally managed for the most relevant Provider systems and internal applications and include password configuration and management procedures for all end user and system accounts related to the processing environment following recognized industry best practices for password length, structure and rotation.
The access to Customer Data is achieved by means of authenticated individual accounts and is limited solely to personnel which need access to perform specific responsibilities or functions in support of the Services.
Administrator accounts are used only for the purpose of performing administrative activities, and each account is traced to a uniquely-identifiable individual and two-factor authentication is required for access to the Provider platforms’ control plane and other critical resources.
Accounts are disabled upon personnel termination or change of roles and responsibilities, and it is an established and maintained process to periodically review access controls.
APPLICATION USER ACCESS
The Provider provides advanced access mechanisms with appropriate control over application features and data allowing configuring user access restrictions as stated in the specific Provider service documentation.
Users are required to verify their login using unique credentials (username and password) and anonymous logins are not permitted.
The Provider allows the configuration of different levels of password complexity, following National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) best practice recommendations.
DATA SEGMENTATION
The Provider has implemented and maintains logical data segregation to ensure Customer Data is not viewable by unauthorized users and that the Client can access its data set only.
DATA DESTRUCTION
The Provider relies on Azure for data destruction and can only perform logical deletion.
Deleted Customer Data is rendered unreadable or disabled by Azure and the underlying storage areas on the Azure network that were used to store the content are wiped, prior to being reclaimed and overwritten, in accordance with Azure standard policies and deletion timelines.
Azure procedures also include a secure decommissioning process conducted prior to disposal of storage media used to provide the Azure services. As part of that process, storage media is degaussed or erased and physically destroyed or disabled in accordance with industry standard practices.
DATA ENCRYPTION
Cryptography: The Provider utilizes encryption key management services and encryption algorithms which are auditable, aligned with industry standards, in wide use and meet the following minimums:
- For symmetric encryption: key length of at least 256 bits;
- For asymmetric encryption: key length of at least 2048 bits;
- Elliptic curve systems 224-bit ECC or higher; and
- Hashing algorithms: SHA2 or SHA256 or better.
Data in transit: Access to the Provider’s platform can be limited to connecting only through SSL/HTTPS secure connections.
Data at rest: Encryption at the storage level is provided by leveraging the capability of Azure to store the file with 256-bit AES encryption and by leveraging Azure for the RDS database volume encryption.
MALICIOUS CODE PROTECTION
The Provider has implemented and maintains an antivirus solution on all workstations.
BACKUP
The Provider provides a state-of-art backup policy for Customer Data.
The frequency of the backup policies vary, based on the specific Provider Service and the service type subscribed for in the Agreement, and may range from a daily basis up to three (3) or more complete backup jobs per day.
Backups are subject to recurring integrity tests, performed at least once per year, in order to ensure that the backups are correct, complete, and recoverable.
Backups are kept for varying lengths of time depending on service requirements and are encrypted at rest.
