Annex 2: Security Measures

As from the Commencement Date, CreateShift will implement and maintain the security

measures set out in this Annex 2 to the Schedule to the Agreement. CreateShift 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 ProdPad Service.

  1. Data and Physical Security
    1. CreateShift utilizes AWS to provide the infrastructure (data centers, servers and similar) to provide the ProdPad Service. Details of the AWS infrastructure and security measures can be found here:
      https://d1.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/Security/AWS_Security_Whitepaper.pdf.
      Further information about the data centers specifically can be found here:
      https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-center/data-centers/
  2. Network and Application
    1. Intrusion Detection. – Intrusion detection is intended to provide insight into ongoing attack activities and provide adequate information to respond to incidents. CreateShift’s intrusion detection involves:
      • Tightly controlling the size and make-up of CreateShift’s attack surface through preventative measures;
      • Employing intelligent detection controls at data entry points; and
      • Employing technologies that automatically remedy certain dangerous situations.
    2. Incident response – CreateShift monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and CreateShift’s security personnel will react promptly to known incidents.
    3. Transit Encryption Technologies – CreateShift makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS connection) available. CreateShift 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 minimize the impact of a compromised key, or a cryptographic breakthrough.
    4. Audit – CreateShift has an infrastructure and network and application audit logging for compliance and security monitoring.
    5. Secure coding – All code is scanned through static analysis on a daily basis to identify bugs and vulnerabilities before they are released. Developers all undergo secure coding training.
    6. Scans – CreateShift runs regular web application and vulnerability scans. Regular scans are made of the infrastructure to identify infrastructure vulnerabilities. Identified issues are reviewed and addressed at the earliest possible time.
    7. Penetration Tests – Penetration tests by a 3rd party security company are conducted at least annually.
  3. Business Security
    1. Business Continuity. – CreateShift replicates data over multiple systems to help to protect against accidental destruction or loss. CreateShift has designed and regularly plans and tests its business continuity planning/disaster recovery programs.
    2. Redundancy. – CreateShift runs several clusters within AWS providing failover redundancy of the application.
  4. Data
    1. Data Storage, Isolation & Authentication. – CreateShift stores data in a multi-tenant environment in AWS in the EU (Ireland) region. Data, ProdPad database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple geographically dispersed data centers.
      CreateShift logically isolates data on a per Customer basis at the application layer. CreateShift logically separates each Customer’s data from the data of other Customers, and data for an authenticated User will not be displayed to another User (unless both Users have access to the same Customer Account).
      A central authentication system is used across all services to increase uniform security of data. Customer will be given control over specific data sharing policies. Those policies, in accordance with the functionality of the ProdPad Service, will enable Customer to determine the product sharing settings applicable to Users for specific purposes. Customer may choose to make use of certain logging capability that CreateShift may make available via the ProdPad Service, products and APIs.
    2. Encryption. – All data is encrypted at rest using AES-256 industry standard utilizing AWS Key Management Store (KMS) to manage the keys. All data backups are encrypted using the same standard.
    3. Backups & redundancy. – Snapshots are taken nightly with point-in-time recovery to allow recovery to within 1 minute of failure. The backups are stored in S3 for high availability. Each data store is a cluster with hot failover in the event primary data store fails or becomes available. All data store nodes are physically separated into separate data centers.
    4. Decommissioned Disks and Disk Erase Policy. – Certain disks containing data may experience performance issues, errors or hardware failure that lead them to be decommissioned (“Decommissioned Disk”). Every Decommissioned Disk is subject to a series of data destruction processes (the “Disk Erase Policy”) by AWS. Full details on disk decommissioning are available here https://d0.awsstatic.com/whitepapers/aws-security-whitepaper.pdf.
  5. Personnel Security
    1. CreateShift personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. CreateShift conducts reasonably appropriate backgrounds checks to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local labour law and statutory regulations.
      Personnel are subject to a duty of confidentiality and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, CreateShift’s confidentiality and privacy policies. 
      Personnel are provided with security training.
  6. Sub-processor Security
    1. Before onboarding Sub-processors, CreateShift 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.
