It is Workleap’s policy to pseudonymize Customer Personal Information whenever possible.   In some instances, Workleap cannot however pseudonymize certain categories of Customer Personal Information. For instance, “User attributes” data in our database cannot be pseudonymized, as it would prevent administrators from viewing, adding or modifying User attributes related to their Users.   The data is encrypted in transit with HTTP over TLS. Certificates are 2048 bits and private keys are stored in a specific secret vault. Weak cyphers are disabled.   The data is also encrypted at rest by Workleap and the Sub-processors. Encryption keys are managed with limited number of employees and secured in a vault with regular rotations.

2. Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services

Confidentiality Workleap has measures in place to ensure that no person is allowed to access Customer Personal Information without authorization. Such measures include, without limitation: - Workleap manages accesses to Customer Personal Information based on the role-based access control (RBAC) permissions model on a need to access basis and least privileged basis. - Workleap has a secure authentication process in place. - All Workleap employees are subject to a criminal background check to ensure that they are not guilty of a job-related offense. - Workleap’s internal database is located at a Microsoft Azure datacenter.

Encryption keys are managed with limited number of employees and secured in a vault with regular rotations. - Regular updates concerning current security attacks are sent to Workleap’s employees to raise awareness. Workleap has BCP and DRP documentation. Tabletop testing is done at least once a year. Integrity Workleap has measures in place to ensure that the data integrity is maintained. Such measures include, without limitation: - The right to modify or delete any customer data (which includes Customer Personal Information) is restricted to a limited group of people on a need basis. - Employees in the customer success team and in the technical support team are granted the right to modify and delete customer data in Workleap’s database.  Any modification or deletion by such employees is catalogued in an audit log. Workleap reviews accesses every two months and every time a team changes. - A group of four key employees have unlimited access to Workleap’s database. - A policy restricting possible modifications and deletions within Workleap’s database is in place. Workleap maintains backups of its database in accordance with its retention policy. The backups are verified daily, and tests are done every three months to meet its RPO and RTO.
