SCHEDULE B

Technical and Organisational Security Measures 

All data is stored in highly secure environments that are protected from unauthorized access and accidental destruction or damage. Data security is safeguarded by a set of policies and access controls which are summarized in this Security Policy.

Hosting 

The Solution and the websites created via the Solution are hosted under managed services arrangements with industry leading vendors and with back-up and redundancy arrangements designed to avoid data loss or service interruption notwithstanding a disaster disabling the primary hosting facility. 

The Mono Server setup is built to scale with multiple locations around the Globe. This ensures maximum site- & editor performance from any location in the world. 

The 2 main elements of the set up are: 

• Central Server Center & fail-over 
• Local Server Centers (CDN)

The Server Centers 

The Solution is hosted at maximum security facilities in Denmark, Canada and Germany. The Site Editor, the websites and the site API is served from Denmark, Canada and Germany. Sites and site data are backed up on each location as well as a separate off-site backup based in Copenhagen. Secure failover processes for all data is in place. 

Premium Data Center Facilities 

Maintained round the clock by highly trained staff, the data centers are designed and equipped to the highest industry standards - raised floors, automatic fire extinguishing equipment, AC and DC power distribution, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), backup generators and multiple redundant fiber connections to all major carriers. 

ISO Certification 

The data centers we use have all received the internationally recognized ISO 27001 certification and Certification for information security management systems. 

Guaranteed power 

Each data center has full power backup in case of an outage. Generators, in combination with UPS systems, guarantee maximum availability. 

Temperature control 

All Hosting facilities are equipped with redundant cooling equipment. Down-flow cooling units guarantee maximum cooling for your equipment. Room temperature is maintained at 18 to 25 C with a humidity level of 40% - 60%. 

Security 

Every data centre is equipped with a state-of-the-art security system to prevent unauthorized access to equipment. With proximity cards, typically combined with biometric readers and mantraps, access is limited to authorised personnel. 

Building management systems 

All data centre related equipment, such as cooling equipment, electrical systems and fire control systems, is monitored around the clock. All events are controlled and procedures are in place to react to every possible incident 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round. 

Fire protection 

All data centers are equipped with fire detection and gas-based fire suppression systems as a first line defence against fire. Argon, FM-200 or CEA is used across our all facilities. (The type of gas used depends on the local fire regulations.) These systems are automatic and monitored continuously (24 x 7). All buildings are equipped with hand-held CO2 fire extinguishing systems, as required by local fire regulations. 

Content Delivery Network 

All Mono sites are hosted on a secure and multi-redundant Content Delivery Network (CDN).  This includes generated (cached) content of the individual websites. 

The CDN has multiple nodes and fall-back nodes located across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The CDN ensures optimized load speed for both the editor and sites no matter where they are located. This CDN also lowers latency and ensures maximum uptime of customer sites as each node acts as a local fail-over server. 

List of current Locations in CDN (more locations are being added on on-going basis) 

Chicago (fail over node) 

Dallas (fail over node) 

Toronto 

Frankfurt 

Copenhagen (fail over) 

Singapore 

Sydney 

Security & IP Technology

Mono operates with our own IP range which provides our CDN set up with further protection from DDoS attacks as well as fast and secure failover procedures. 

Reseller specific IPs is also an option anywhere. 

The Solution 

The platform runs on an optimized PHP code base, which is updated and sanitized on an ongoing basis. 

The high stability and availability of the platform is unprecedented among industry standards.

1. Entrance Control 

Technical or organisational measures regarding access control, especially regarding legitimation of authorised persons. 

Security of the Physical Environment 

The physical environment and facilities are designed to prevent unauthorized access to or damage to the Company´s Data: 

• All system servers with information that require protection are kept in high security areas at external hosting facility where access is highly restricted. 
• IT equipment in the Mono office area is safeguarded by a locked door policy and appropriate security system (intruder alarm and fire alarm). 
• The Mono office area is safeguarded by an electronical access control system. 
• All external doors and windows must be closed and locked at the end of the work day. 
• All employees are trained in operating the office security systems.

• All hardware assets are owned by Mono – Mono does not borrow, rent or lease equipment. 
• Employees in possession of equipment are educated in the acceptable use hereof. This includes instructions on safe-travelling with laptops, removable hard disks and mobile phones. In general, equipment must always be carried as hand-baggage and never left out of sight during travelling. The same policy applies to laptops being transported home for remote working purposes. 
• Employees are instructed in safe use of all removable media devices such as external hard disks, USB keys which could carry malware etc. 
• Deprecated equipment is being safely deposited for destruction, so that access to any information stored on this equipment is prevented.

2. System Access Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding the user ID and authentication aimed to prevent unauthorised use of data processing systems, used for the processing of Company Data: 

Access Control and User Access Management 

Access to any system carrying information is strictly safeguarded and subject to these security procedures: 

• Access control to each system is documented and maintained by the administrator of that system. 
• Each system has differentiated access rights/roles (where relevant) that only allow users to access the information which is required and appropriate for their role. 
• Registration and de-registration of user access rights is maintained by the administrator of that system.

System and application access control 

All mono employees have responsibility to adhere to Mono’s policies and practices for secure authentication and access: 

• Only the administrator can override application access controls.
• Source code access control is limited to individuals and controlled by the system admin and access is logged on the server.

Protection from Malware 

• All mono employees have responsibility to install anti-virus / malware protection client. 
• Users are instructed in how to install software. 
• Users are instructed on how to act on security warnings.

3. Data Access Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding the on-demand structure of the authorisation concept, data access rights and monitoring and recording of the same: 

Logging and monitoring 

Mono logs everything to be able to trace breaches and unauthorized access of any kind. 

Servers 

All serves have logs (access, system (OS) & application logs). 

Mono has a Central Log repository in place, where it is possible to search through and monitor all logs 30 days back. 

Logs are locked and protected from tampering. 

All servers are synchronized (clock / UTC). 

Administrator and operator access to servers is logged and access control are limited to the appointed administrator(s). 

Transmission Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding the transport, transfer, transmission, storage and subsequent review of Personal Data on data media (manually or electronically), so that Personal Data cannot be read, copied, changed or deleted without authorisation, during transfer or while stored on data media, and so that it can be monitored and determined as to which recipients a transfer of Personal Data is intended. 

The transfer of Personal Data to a third party (e.g. customers, sub-contractors, service providers) is only made if a corresponding contract exists, and only for the specific purposes. If Personal Data is transferred to companies located outside the EEA, the Processor provides that an adequate level of data protection exists at the target location or organisation in accordance with the European Union's data protection requirements, e.g. by employing contracts based on the Standard Contractual Clauses. 

Technical Vulnerability Management 

Machines and equipment are monitored through a dedicated managed service. 

All employees must get permission to install software outside of the standard suite. 

We audit all systems on ongoing basis with at least yearly audits for critical systems. 

Network Security Management 

All networks (internal and external) are managed and secure with restrictions and access controls in place. 

Segregation of networks are in place. 

Information Transfer 

Policies for use of any information transfer system (such as Slack, Skype, Email etc.) are in place. All such systems require a personal invitation to be able to use them. NDA´s are always in place both for staff and 3rd parties and partners. 

Sensitive information may only be shared internally between Mono employees in a dedicated and secure communication channel where data is deleted. 

System acquisition, development and maintenance 

Business requirements for new information systems, or enhancements to existing information systems must specify the requirements for security. Mono has the following security requirements for information systems.

4. Data Entry Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding recording and monitoring of the circumstances of data entry to enable retroactive review. 

System inputs are recorded in the form of log files therefore it is possible to review retroactively whether and by whom Personal Data was entered, altered or deleted. 

5. Data Processing Control 

Technical and organisational measures to differentiate between the competences of principal and contractor to provide that Personal Data is processed by a commissioned data processor in accordance with the Instructions of the principal. 

Details regarding data processing control are set forth in the Agreement and DPA. 

6. Availability Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding data backup (physical/logical):

Site Backups 

Mono provides an API-based "snapshot" service, which allows for site restoration 30 edits back (default). In this case restoration is immediate. Additionally, Mono make server side backups daily for a week, and then weekly backups for a month, and then monthly backups for a minimum of 12 months. A Request for restoration from a backup is made by raising a ticket in our ticket system, JIRA. 

Internal information Backups 

All business critical information is stored on cloud solutions (Microsoft OneDrive). 

Local Machines 

Local content may or may not be part of a backup scheme (depending on the individual).

7. Separation Control 

Technical and organisational measures regarding purposes of collection and separated processing: 

Personal Data used for internal purposes only e.g. as part of the respective customer relationship, may be transferred to a third party such as a subcontractor, solely under consideration of contractual arrangements and appropriate data protection regulatory requirements. 

Employees are instructed to collect, process and use Personal Data only within the framework and for the purposes of their duties (e.g. service provision). At a technical level, multi-client capability includes separation of functions as well as appropriate separation of testing and production systems. 

Company Data is stored in a way that logically separates it from other customer data. 

All data in transit is protected by Transport Layer Security (“TLS”).

8. Staff Integrity 

Mono’s staff management policies aim to keep the integrity and security of information as high as possible. 

Pre-employment 

The following pre-employment measures are taken in relation to every employee of Mono: 

• A background check is carried out on all employees. 
• A confidentiality agreement is included in the signed contracts of every Mono employee and/or contractor. 

During employment: 

All employees are instructed and made aware of Mono’s information security policies and practices. This includes use of mobile devices and tele-working. 

Policies for password strength and management are enforced on all employees systematically - for all systems, devices and equipment. 

User-registration, de-registration and access and privilege provisioning is formalized and regularly reviewed. 

Keys are managed and personal access to physical locations is logged. 

Employees breaching the information security policies will be sanctioned. 

Post employment: 

Assets (equipment etc.) are returned on termination of an employee´s contract or the conclusion of the need for the use of the assets. (manuscript needed for this process)

Mono terminates all privileges and access rights. 

Keys are returned to Mono.

9. Risk Assessment 

Mono’s approach to security is based on recurring risk assessments where information security risks are identified and classified according to their potential damage and impact. Mono performs a general risk assessment annually and updates its security measures and controls accordingly to keep information security intact and up to date. 

During the risk assessment process, each identified risk is classified in one of the following categories:

Disruptive threats are highly unlikely but could occur and affect the normal business process. Mono has considered a wide range of potential threats and the results of our deliberations are included in this section. Each potential environmental disaster or emergency situation has been examined. The focus here is on the level of business disruption which could arise from each type of disaster.

Potential disasters have been assessed as follows:

Probability: 1=Very High, 5=Very LowImpact: 1=Total destruction, 5=Minor annoyance

10. Disaster Recovery 

Crisis Response Team 

A crisis response team is in place to provide the framework for the appropriate response to a disaster. The team will define the degree of involvement by the various members of the staff. 

The objectives of the team include avoiding death or injuries, control and terminating any incident as soon as possible, minimizing commercial and reputational damage, protecting our partners and their clients, protecting our own assets and financial position, minimizing our legal liabilities, recovering disrupted business functionality as soon as possible. 

The crisis response team is also responsible for raising awareness and training throughout the organization. 

Declaring a Disaster 

If the crisis response team finds a disaster likely to have a critical impact on one of our partners or their clients (“End Users,”) then the crisis response management will characterize the extent of disaster/expected interruption, and act accordingly. 

Disasters may have - or potentially have - any one or more of the following characteristics: 

• A Service or Solution is not available; 
• Major functionality or a major component of a Service or Solution is not available, accessible or operable by End Users and there is no work around; or 
• A defect materially impacts on one or more of a partner’s products or services (including the website product). 

Check List for crisis response 

In case of a disaster, the response team will follow this checklist for the declaration and response to the situation: 

1. Initial assessment of the problem 
2. Extent of damage 
3. Who should report to work if during non-business hours 
4. Where and when to report to work 
5. Who will contact partners/clients 
6. Who will contact suppliers/vendors 
7. Information about employees’ personal belongings at work 
8. When more detailed information will be available. 
9. Who handles media contact

Standard Contractual Clauses (processors)

For the purposes of Article 26(2) of Directive 95/46/EC for the transfer of personal data to processors established in third countries which do not ensure an adequate level of data protection

the Controller, (the data “exporter”)

and

the Processor, (the data “importer”)

each a “party”; together “the parties”,

HAVE AGREED on the following Standard Contractual Clauses (the “Standard Contractual Clauses”) in order to adduce adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals for the transfer by the data exporter to the data importer of the personal data specified in Schedule A of the DPA.

Clause 1

Definitions

For the purposes of the Standard Contractual Clauses all terms used in capitals shall have the meaning given to them in the DPA unless defined otherwise below:

(a)        'personal data', 'special categories of data', 'process/processing', 'controller', 'processor', 'data subject' and 'supervisory authority' shall have the same meaning as in Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 October 1995 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data[1];

(b)       'the data exporter' means the controller who transfers the personal data;

(c)        'the data importer' means the processor who agrees to receive from the data exporter personal data intended for processing on his behalf after the transfer in accordance with his instructions and the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses and who is not subject to a third country's system ensuring adequate protection within the meaning of Article 25(1) of Directive 95/46/EC;

(d)       'the subprocessor' means any processor engaged by the data importer or by any other subprocessor of the data importer who agrees to receive from the data importer or from any other subprocessor of the data importer personal data exclusively intended for processing activities to be carried out on behalf of the data exporter after the transfer in accordance with his instructions, the terms of the Standard Contractual Clauses and the terms of the written subcontract;

(e)        'the applicable data protection law' means the legislation protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and, in particular, their right to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data applicable to a data controller in the Member State in which the data exporter is established;

(f)        'technical and organisational security measures' means those measures aimed at protecting personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access, in particular where the processing involves the transmission of data over a network, and against all other unlawful forms of processing.

Clause 2

Details of the transfer

The details of the transfer and in particular the special categories of personal data where applicable are specified in Schedule A of the DPA which forms an integral part of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Clause 3

Third-party beneficiary clause

1.         The data subject can enforce against the data exporter this Clause, Clause 4(b) to (i), Clause 5(a) to (e), and (g) to (j), Clause 6(1) and (2), Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12 as third-party beneficiary.

2.         The data subject can enforce against the data importer this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where the data exporter has factually disappeared or has ceased to exist in law unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law, as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity.

3.         The data subject can enforce against the subprocessor this Clause, Clause 5(a) to (e) and (g), Clause 6, Clause 7, Clause 8(2), and Clauses 9 to 12, in cases where both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract or by operation of law as a result of which it takes on the rights and obligations of the data exporter, in which case the data subject can enforce them against such entity. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Standard Contractual Clauses.

4.         The parties do not object to a data subject being represented by an association or other body if the data subject so expressly wishes and if permitted by national law.

Clause 4

Obligations of the data exporter

The data exporter agrees and warrants:

(a)        that the processing, including the transfer itself, of the personal data has been and will continue to be carried out in accordance with the relevant provisions of the applicable data protection law (and, where applicable, has been notified to the relevant authorities of the Member State where the data exporter is established) and does not violate the relevant provisions of that State;

(b)       that it has instructed and throughout the duration of the personal data processing services will instruct the data importer to process the personal data transferred only on the data exporter's behalf and in accordance with the applicable data protection law and the Standard Contractual Clauses;

(e)        that it will ensure compliance with the security measures;

(f)        that, if the transfer involves special categories of data, the data subject has been informed or will be informed before, or as soon as possible after, the transfer that its data could be transmitted to a third country not providing adequate protection within the meaning of Directive 95/46/EC;

(g)       to forward any notification received from the data importer or any subprocessor pursuant to Clause 5(b) and Clause 8(3) to the data protection supervisory authority if the data exporter decides to continue the transfer or to lift the suspension;

(h)       to make available to the data subjects upon request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses, with the exception of the Security Policy, and a summary description of the security measures, as well as a copy of any contract for subprocessing services which has to be made in accordance with the Standard Contractual Clauses, unless the Standard Contractual Clauses or the contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information;

(i)        that, in the event of subprocessing, the processing activity is carried out in accordance with Clause 11 by a subprocessor providing at least the same level of protection for the personal data and the rights of data subject as the data importer under the Standard Contractual Clauses; and

Clause 5

Obligations of the data importer [2]

(a)        to process the personal data only on behalf of the data exporter and in compliance with its instructions and the Standard Contractual Clauses; if it cannot provide such compliance for whatever reasons, it agrees to inform promptly the data exporter of its inability to comply, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

(b)       that it has no reason to believe that the legislation applicable to it prevents it from fulfilling the instructions received from the data exporter and its obligations under the contract and that in the event of a change in this legislation which is likely to have a substantial adverse effect on the warranties and obligations provided by the Standard Contractual Clauses, it will promptly notify the change to the data exporter as soon as it is aware, in which case the data exporter is entitled to suspend the transfer of data and/or terminate the contract;

(c)        that it has implemented the technical and organisational security measures specified in the Security Policy before processing the personal data transferred;

(d)       that it will promptly notify the data exporter about:

(i)        any legally binding request for disclosure of the personal data by a law enforcement authority unless otherwise prohibited, such as a prohibition under criminal law to preserve the confidentiality of a law enforcement investigation,

(iii)      any request received directly from the data subjects without responding to that request, unless it has been otherwise authorised to do so;

(e)        to deal promptly and properly with all inquiries from the data exporter relating to its processing of the personal data subject to the transfer and to abide by the advice of the supervisory authority with regard to the processing of the data transferred;

(f)        at the request of the data exporter to submit its data processing facilities for audit of the processing activities covered by the Standard Contractual Clauses which shall be carried out by the data exporter or an inspection body composed of independent members and in possession of the required professional qualifications bound by a duty of confidentiality, selected by the data exporter, where applicable, in agreement with the supervisory authority;

(g)       to make available to the data subject upon request a copy of the Standard Contractual Clauses, or any existing contract for subprocessing, unless the Standard Contractual Clauses or contract contain commercial information, in which case it may remove such commercial information, with the exception of the Security Policy which shall be replaced by a summary description of the security measures in those cases where the data subject is unable to obtain a copy from the data exporter;

(h)       that, in the event of subprocessing, it has previously informed the data exporter and obtained its prior written consent;

(i)        that the processing services by the subprocessor will be carried out in accordance with Clause 11;

(j)        to send promptly a copy of any subprocessor agreement it concludes under the Standard Contractual Clauses to the data exporter.

Clause 6

Liability

1.         The parties agree that any data subject, who has suffered damage as a result of any breach of the obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 by any party or subprocessor is entitled to receive compensation from the data exporter for the damage suffered.

2.         If a data subject is not able to bring a claim for compensation in accordance with paragraph 1 against the data exporter, arising out of a breach by the data importer or his subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11, because the data exporter has factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or has become insolvent, the data importer agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data importer as if it were the data exporter, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter by contract of by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity.

The data importer may not rely on a breach by a subprocessor of its obligations in order to avoid its own liabilities.

3.         If a data subject is not able to bring a claim against the data exporter or the data importer referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2, arising out of a breach by the subprocessor of any of their obligations referred to in Clause 3 or in Clause 11 because both the data exporter and the data importer have factually disappeared or ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent, the subprocessor agrees that the data subject may issue a claim against the data subprocessor with regard to its own processing operations under the Standard Contractual Clauses as if it were the data exporter or the data importer, unless any successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law, in which case the data subject can enforce its rights against such entity. The liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Clause 7

Mediation and jurisdiction

1.         The data importer agrees that if the data subject invokes against it third-party beneficiary rights and/or claims compensation for damages under the Standard Contractual Clauses, the data importer will accept the decision of the data subject:

(a)        to refer the dispute to mediation, by an independent person or, where applicable, by the supervisory authority;

(b)       to refer the dispute to the courts in the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

2.         The parties agree that the choice made by the data subject will not prejudice its substantive or procedural rights to seek remedies in accordance with other provisions of national or international law.

Clause 8

Cooperation with supervisory authorities

1.         The data exporter agrees to deposit a copy of this contract with the supervisory authority if it so requests or if such deposit is required under the applicable data protection law.

2.         The parties agree that the supervisory authority has the right to conduct an audit of the data importer, and of any subprocessor, which has the same scope and is subject to the same conditions as would apply to an audit of the data exporter under the applicable data protection law.

3.         The data importer shall promptly inform the data exporter about the existence of legislation applicable to it or any subprocessor preventing the conduct of an audit of the data importer, or any subprocessor, pursuant to paragraph 2. In such a case the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5 (b).

Clause 9

Governing Law

The Standard Contractual Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

Clause 10

Variation of the contract

The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Standard Contractual Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required as long as they do not contradict the Standard Contractual Clauses.

Clause 11

Subprocessing

1.         The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Standard Contractual Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Standard Contractual Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the subprocessor which imposes the same obligations on the subprocessor as are imposed on the data importer under the Standard Contractual Clauses. Where the subprocessor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the subprocessor's obligations under such agreement.

2.         The prior written contract between the data importer and the subprocessor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in paragraph 1 of Clause 6 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared or have ceased to exist in law or have become insolvent and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the subprocessor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Standard Contractual Clauses.

3.         The provisions relating to data protection aspects for subprocessing of the contract referred to in paragraph 1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

4.         The data exporter shall keep a list of subprocessing agreements concluded under the Standard Contractual Clauses and notified by the data importer pursuant to Clause 5 (j), which shall be updated at least once a year. The list shall be available to the data exporter's data protection supervisory authority.

Clause 12

Obligation after the termination of personal data processing services

1.         The parties agree that on the termination of the provision of data processing services, the data importer and the subprocessor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process the personal data transferred anymore.

2.         The data importer and the subprocessor warrant that upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, it will submit its data processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in paragraph 1.

Clause 13

Miscellaneous

1.             These Standard Contractual Clauses take priority over any other agreement between the parties, whether entered into before or after the date these Standard Contractual Clauses are entered into.
