As from the Terms Effective Date, SURPASSPORT will implement and maintain the Security Measures set out in this Appendix 2. SURPASSPORT may update or modify such Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not result in the degradation of the overall security of the Services.

 1. Data Centre and Network Security

Physical Infrastructure

Infrastructure. SURPASSPORT stores all production data in a physically secure ISO 27001 certified data centre located in Dublin. The data centre implements redundant network connection and components, power sources and core equipment, designed to eliminate single points of failure and minimise the impact of environmental risks.

Server Operating Systems. SURPASSPORT servers use RHEL Centos 7 (Linux) based operating system configured for the application environment.

Network & Connectivity

Data Transmission. Data centre is connected via high-speed links to provide secure and fast data transfer between SURPASSPORT servers and users. SURPASSPORT transfers data via Internet standard protocols.

External Attack Surface. SURPASSPORT employs multiple layers of network devices and intrusion detection to protect its external attack surface. SURPASSPORT considers potential attack vectors and incorporates appropriate technologies into external facing systems.

Intrusion Detection. Intrusion detection is intended to provide insight into ongoing attack activities and provide adequate information to respond to incidents. SURPASSPORT’s intrusion detection involves:

  • tightly controlling the size and make-up of SURPASSPORT’s attack surface through preventative measures;
  • employing intelligent detection controls at data entry points; and
  • employing technologies that automatically remedy certain dangerous situations.

Incident Response. SURPASSPORT monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and SURPASSPORT’s security personnel will react promptly to known incidents.

Encryption Technologies. SURPASSPORT requires HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS connection) for all public access connections. SURPASSPORT servers support ephemeral elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman cryptographic key exchange signed with RSA and ECDSA. These perfect forward secrecy (PFS) methods help protect traffic and minimise the impact of a compromised key, or a cryptographic breakthrough.

2. Access and Site Controls

 Access Management

Infrastructure Security Personnel. SURPASSPORT has, and maintains, a security policy for its personnel, and requires security training as part of the training package for its personnel. SURPASSPORT’s infrastructure security personnel are responsible for the ongoing monitoring of SURPASSPORT’s security infrastructure, the review of the Services, and responding to security incidents.

Access Control and Privilege Management. the Customer’s administrators must authenticate themselves to SURPASSPORT systems in order to administer the Services.

Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy.SURPASSPORT’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorised persons and/or systems from gaining access to systems used to process personal data. SURPASSPORT designs its systems to

  • (i) only allow authorised persons to access data they are authorised to access; and
  • (ii) ensure that personal data cannot be read, copied, altered or removed without authorisation during processing, use and after recording. The systems are designed to detect any inappropriate access. SURPASSPORT employs a centralised access management system to control personnel access to production servers, and only provides access to a limited number of authorised personnel.

SURPASSPORT requires the use of unique user IDs, strong passwords, and additionally two factor authentication for certain functions. The granting or modification of access rights is based on:

  • the authorised personnel’s job responsibilities;
  • job duty requirements necessary to perform authorised tasks; and
  • a need to know basis.

The granting or modification of access rights must also be in accordance with SURPASSPORT’s internal data access policies and training. 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 that follow at least industry standard practices are implemented.

3. Data

 Data Storage and Logging.

SURPASSPORT stores data in a multi-tenant environment on SURPASSPORT servers. SURPASSPORT logically isolates the Customer’s data. The Customer will be given control over specific data sharing policies. Those policies, in accordance with the functionality of the Services, will enable the Customer to determine the product sharing settings applicable to the Customer End Users for specific purposes.

Data Backups.

SURPASSPORT generates hourly backups of the database, which is encrypted before transfer to secure offsite backup storage. Backups are retained for a period of 30 days and are periodically tested as part of disaster recovery management procedures.

Data Destruction.

Data deleted by the Customer is periodically purged from Data Storage, as soon as reasonably practicable and within a maximum period of 180 days, unless EU or EU Member State law requires storage.

4. Employee Security

SURPASSPORT employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s policies regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. SURPASSPORT conducts reasonably appropriate backgrounds checks to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local employment law and statutory regulations.

Employees are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, SURPASSPORT confidentiality and privacy policies. Employee are provided with security training.

SURPASSPORT employees will not process Customer Data without authorisation.

5. Sub-Processor Security

Before appointing Sub-Processors, SURPASSPORT conducts an audit of the security and privacy practices of Sub-Processors to ensure Sub-Processors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Once SURPASSPORT has assessed the risks presented by the Sub-Processor, then subject to the requirements set out in Section 11.3 (Requirements for Sub-Processor Engagement) of these Terms, the Sub-Processor is required to enter into appropriate security, confidentiality and privacy contract terms.
