Personnel are provided with privacy and security training on how to implement and comply with the Information Security Program. Personnel handling Customer Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role (e.g., certifications). FutureOn AS’s personnel will not process Customer Personal Data without authorization. 

  1. Access Controls 
    1. Access Management. FutureOn AS maintains a formal access management process for the request, review, approval and provisioning of all personnel with access to Customer Personal Data to limit access to Customer Personal Data and systems storing, accessing or transmitting Customer Personal Data to properly authorized persons having a need for such access. Access reviews are conducted periodically to ensure that only those personnel with access to Customer Personal Data still require it.
    2. Infrastructure Security Personnel. FutureOn AS has, and maintains, a security policy for its personnel, and requires security training as part of the training package for its personnel. FutureOn AS’s infrastructure security personnel are responsible for the ongoing monitoring of FutureOn AS’s security infrastructure, the review of the Services, and for responding to security incidents.
    3. Access Control and Privilege Management. FutureOn AS’s and Customer’s administrators and end users must authenticate themselves via a Multi-Factor authentication system or via a single sign on system in order to use the Services.
    4. Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. FutureOn AS’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Customer Personal Data. FutureOn AS designs its systems to only allow authorized persons to access data they are authorized to access based on principles of “least privileged” and “need to know”, and to prevent others who should not have access from obtaining access.  FutureOn AS requires the use of unique user IDs, strong passwords, two factor authentication and carefully monitored access lists to minimize the potential for unauthorized account use. The granting or modification of access rights is based on: the authorized personnel’s job responsibilities; job duty requirements necessary to perform authorized tasks; a need-to-know basis; and must be in accordance with FutureOn AS’s internal data access policies and training. Approvals are managed by workflow tools that maintain audit records of all changes. Access to systems is logged to create an audit trail for accountability. Where passwords are employed for authentication (e.g., login to workstations), password policies follow industry standard practices. These standards include password complexity, password expiry, password lockout, restrictions on password reuse and re-prompt for password after a period of inactivity.
  1. Data Center and Network Security
    1. Data Centers.
      1. Infrastructure. FutureOn AS has AWS, GCP and Azure as its data centers. 

      1. Resiliency. Multi Availability Zones are enabled on AWS, GCP and Azure and FutureOn AS conducts Backup Restoration Testing on regular basis to ensure resiliency. 

      1. Server Operating Systems. FutureOn AS’s servers are customized for the application environment and the servers have been hardened for the security of the Services. FutureOn AS employs a code review process to increase the security of the code used to provide the Services and enhance the security products in production environments. 

      1. Disaster Recovery. FutureOn AS replicates data over multiple systems to help to protect against accidental destruction or loss. FutureOn AS has designed and regularly plans and tests its disaster recovery programs. 

      1. Security Logs. FutureOn AS’s systems have logging enabled to their respective system log facility in order to support the security audits, and monitor and detect actual and attempted attacks on, or intrusions into, FutureOn AS’s systems. 

      1. Vulnerability Management. FutureOn AS performs regular vulnerability scans on all infrastructure components of its production and development environment.  Vulnerabilities are remediated on a risk basis, with Critical, High and Medium security patches for all components installed as soon as commercially possible. 

    1. Networks and Transmission. 
      1. Data Transmission. Transmissions on production environment are transmitted via Internet standard protocols. 
      1. External Attack Surface. AWS, GCP, Azure Security Group which is equivalent to virtual firewall is in place for Production environment on AWS, GCP, Azure. 

      1. Incident Response. FutureOn AS maintains incident management policies and procedures, including detailed security incident escalation procedures. FutureOn AS monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and FutureOn AS’s security personnel will react promptly to suspected or known incidents, mitigate harmful effects of such security incidents, and document such security incidents and their outcomes. 

      1. Encryption Technologies. FutureOn AS makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available for data in transit.
         

    1. Data Storage, Isolation, Authentication, and Destruction. FutureOn AS stores data in a multi-tenant environment on AWS, GCP, and Azure servers. Data, the Services database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple availability zones on AWS, GCP, Azure. FutureOn AS logically isolates the data of different customers. A central authentication system is used across all Services to increase uniform security of data.  FutureOn AS ensures secure disposal of Client Data through the use of a series of data destruction processes.
