Description of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by Skillibrium as the data processor/data importer to ensure an appropriate level of security, taking into account the nature, scope, context, and purpose of the processing, and the risks for the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

5.1 Security

(1) Security Management System.

(a) Organization. Skillibrium designates qualified security personnel whose responsibilities include development, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of the Information Security Program.

(b) Policies. Management reviews and supports all security related policies to ensure the security, availability, integrity and confidentiality of Customer’s Personal Data.  These policies are updated at least once annually.

(c) Assessments. Skillibrium engages a reputable independent third-party to perform risk assessments of all systems containing Customer’s Personal Data at least once annually.

(d) Risk Treatment. Skillibrium maintains a formal and effective risk treatment program that includes penetration testing, vulnerability management and patch management to identify and protect against potential threats to the security, integrity or confidentiality of Customer’s Personal Data.

(e) Vendor Management. Skillibrium maintains an effective vendor management program

(f) Incident Management. Skillibrium reviews security incidents regularly, including effective determination of root cause and corrective action.

(g) Standards. Skillibrium operates an information security management system that complies with the requirements of ISO/IEC 27001:2013 standard.

(ii) Personnel Security 

(a) Skillibrium personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. Skillibrium conducts reasonably appropriate background checks on any employees who will have access to client data under this Agreement, including in relation to employment history and criminal records, to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local labor law, customary practice and statutory regulations.

(b) Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement in writing at the time of hire and to protect Customer’s Personal Data at all times. Personnel must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, Skillibrium’s confidentiality, privacy and security policies. Personnel are provided with privacy and security training on how to implement and comply with the Information Security Program. Personnel handling Customer’s Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role (e.g., certifications). Skillibrium’s personnel will not process Customer’s Personal Data without authorization.

(iii) Access Controls

(a) Access Management. Skillibrium maintains a formal access management process for the request, review, approval and provisioning of all personnel with access to Customer’s Personal Data to limit access to Customer’s Personal Data and systems storing, accessing,  transmitting or otherwise Processing Customer’s 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’s Personal Data still require it.

(b) Infrastructure Security Personnel. Skillibrium has, and maintains, a security policy for its personnel, and requires security training as part of the training package for its personnel. Skillibrium’s infrastructure security personnel are responsible for the ongoing monitoring of Skillibrium’s security infrastructure, review of the SaaS Service, and for responding to security incidents affecting the SaaS Service.

(c) Access Control and Privilege Management. Skillibrium’s and Customer’s administrators and end users must authenticate themselves via a Multi-Factor authentication system in order to access and use the SaaS Service

(d) Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. Skillibrium’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to protect against unauthorized or unintended access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Customer’s Personal Data. Skillibrium 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.  Skillibrium 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 Skillibrium’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.

5.2 Data Center and Network Security

(i) Data Centers

(a) Infrastructure. Skillibrium utilizes OutSystems operating in AWS as its data center.

(b) Resiliency. Maintains load-balancer in the production systems with additional resiliency provided through additional vendors.  Skillibrium conducts Backup Restoration Testing on a regular basis to test and validate resiliency.

(c) Server Operating Systems. Skillibrium’s servers are customized for the application environment and the servers have been hardened for the security of the SaaS Service. Skillibrium employs a code review process to increase the security of the code used to provide the SaaS Service and enhance the security products in production environments.

(d) Disaster Recovery. Skillibrium backs up data stored in the SaaS Service on at least a daily basis (and some of the data on a near real-time basis) to help to protect against and minimize the effects of accidental destruction or loss. Skillibrium has designed and regularly plans and tests its disaster recovery programs.

(e) Security Logs. Skillibrium’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, Skillibrium’s systems.

(f) Vulnerability Management. Skillibrium 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.

(ii) Networks and Transmission

(a) Data Transmission. Transmissions on production environments are transmitted via Internet standard protocols.

(b) External Attack Surface. Utilizes OutSystems leveraging AWS Security Group in conjunction with Cloudflare which is equivalent to virtual firewall is in place for the Production environment. 

(c) Incident Response. Skillibrium maintains incident management policies and procedures, including detailed security incident escalation procedures. Skillibrium monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and Skillibrium’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.

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