Annex B

SECURITY MEASURES

Description of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by DOO PEOPLE in accordance with Section 4.2 of the DPA:
1. Access Control of Processing Areas

DOO PEOPLE implements suitable measures in order to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data processing equipment (namely database and application servers and related hardware) where Personal Data are processed or used. This is accomplished by:

  • establishing security areas;
  • protection and restriction of access paths;
  • data processing equipment and personal computers will be in an enclosed area with restricted access
  • establishing access authorizations for employees and third parties, including the respective documentation;
  • regulations and restrictions on issuance and use of card-keys;
  • all access to the data center where Personal Data are hosted is logged, monitored, and tracked
2. Access Control to Data Processing Systems

DOO PEOPLE implements suitable measures (including industry standard encryption) to prevent its data processing systems from being used by unauthorized persons. This is accomplished by:

  • identification of the terminal and/or the terminal user to the DOO PEOPLE’s systems;
  • automatic time-out of user terminal if left idle, identification and password required to reopen;
  • issuing and safeguarding of identification codes;
  • dedication of terminal users, identification characteristics exclusive to specific functions; and
  • requirements for passwords (minimum length, use of special characters, etc.); and
  • all access to data is logged, monitored, and tracked.
3. Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

DOO PEOPLE ensures that the persons entitled to use its data processing systems are only able to access the data within the scope and to the extent covered by their respective access permission (authorization) and that Personal Data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization. This is accomplished by:

  • employee policies and training in respect of each employee’s access rights to Personal Data;
  • effective and measured disciplinary action against individuals who access Personal Data without authorization;
  • release of data to only authorized persons; and
  • policies controlling the retention of back-up copies.
4. Transmission Control

DOO PEOPLE implements suitable measures to prevent 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:

  • use of firewall and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which the data travels;
  • not storing data on mobile storage media or laptops or other mobile devices unless protected with strong encryption at rest; and
5. Separation of Processing for Different Purposes

DOO PEOPLE implements suitable measures to ensure that data collected for different purposes can be processed separately. This is accomplished by:

  • access to data is separated through application security for the appropriate users;
  • modules within the DOO PEOPLE’s database separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e. by functionality and function;
  • at the database level, data is stored in different normalized tables, separated per module or function they support; and
  • interfaces, batch processes and reports are designed for only specific purposes and functions, so data collected for specific purposes is processed separately.
