  - Access Control and Privilege Management. Solytics’ and Customer’s administrators and end users must authenticate themselves via a Multi-Factor authentication system or via a single sign on system in order to use the Services
  - Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. Solytics’ internal data access processes and policies are designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Customer Personal Data. Solytics 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. Solytics 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 Solytics’ 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
  Data Center and Network Security
  Data Centers.
  - Infrastructure. Solytics has AWS as its data center.
  - Resiliency. Multi Availability Zones are enabled on AWS and Solytics conducts Backup Restoration Testing on regular basis to ensure resiliency.
  - Server Operating Systems. Solytics’ servers are customized for the application environment and the servers have been hardened for the security of the Services. Solytics employs a code review process to increase the security of the code used to provide the Software/Services and enhance the security products in production environments.
  - Disaster Recovery. Solytics replicates data over multiple systems to help to protect against accidental destruction or loss. Solytics has designed and regularly plans and tests its disaster recovery programs.
  - Security Logs. Solytics’ 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, Solytics’ systems.
  - Vulnerability Management. Solytics 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.
  Networks and Transmission.
  - Data Transmission. Transmissions on production environment are transmitted via Internet standard protocols.
  - External Attack Surface. AWS Security Group which is equivalent to virtual firewall is in place for Production environment on AWS.
  - Incident Response. Solytics maintains incident management policies and procedures, including detailed security incident escalation procedures. Solytics monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and Solytics’ 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.
  - Encryption Technologies. Solytics makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available for data in transit.
Data Storage, Isolation, Authentication, and Destruction. Solytics stores data in a multi-tenant environment on AWS servers. Data, the Services database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple availability zones on AWS. Solytics logically isolates the data of different customers. A central authentication system is used across all Services to increase uniform security of data. Solytics ensures secure disposal of Client Data through the use of a series of data destruction processes.
