3. RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS

3.1 Data Subject Requests. Insider shall, to the extent legally permitted and to the extent Insider has been able to identify that the request comes from a Data Subject whose Personal Data was submitted to the Services by Customer, promptly notify Customer if Insider receives a request from a Data Subject in relation to the exercise of any Data Subject Right (“Data Subject Request”).

SCHEDULE 1

Insider Security, Privacy, and Architecture Information Security Datasheet

Introduction

The goal of this document is to provide high-level information to our customers regarding Insider’s commitment to security and data protection.

Insider’s Corporate Trust Commitment

Insider is committed to achieving and maintaining the trust of our customers. Our goal is to be as transparent as possible with our customers in offering state-of-the-art security and protections to meet and exceed expectations in today’s modern computing world.

Policy Ownership

Insider has a documented information security policy that all employees must read and acknowledge. This policy is reviewed and updated annually. Security policy development, maintenance, and issuance is the responsibility of the Insider Security Team.

Insider Infrastructure

Insider hosts the Insider Services with Amazon Web Services in their EU-West-1 region, Ireland.

Third-Party Architecture

Insider may use one or more third-party content delivery networks to provide the Insider Services and to optimize content delivery via the Insider Services. Content items to be served to subscribers or end-users, such as images or attachments uploaded to the Insider Services, may be cached with such content delivery networks to expedite transmission. Information transmitted across a content delivery network may be accessed by that content delivery network solely to enable these functions.

Audits, Certifications, and Regulatory Compliance

Insider is ISO/IEC 27001 certified and has the SOC 2 Type 1 report. Insider also enters into the EU Standard Contractual Clauses with its Customers who would like to be protected with applicable data transfer mechanisms under the GDPR.  

Security Controls

1Organization Security

Insider’s CTO is responsible for the overall security of the Insider Services, including oversight and accountability. Insider’s contracts with third-party hosting providers such as Amazon Web Services include industry-standard information protection requirements.

2. Asset Classification and Logical Access Control

Insider maintains an inventory of essential information assets such as servers, databases, and information. All Customer Data is classified as Confidential by Insider.

Insider adopts the principle of least privilege for all accounts running application or database services, as well as with its own staff. Insider maintains separate development, staging (or sandbox), user acceptance testing, and production environments access to each environment and within each environment is strictly controlled.

Access to Insider’s servers are controlled via revocable SSH keys managed via configuration management and rotated at least annually. All access to Insider’s servers or Customer Data is logged and can only be accessed through Insider’s VPN, which uses multi-factor authentication. Database access is controlled via 24-character passwords with IP whitelisting. Insider’s HR onboarding and off-boarding processes handle provisioning and de-provisioning of accounts and access.

3. Personnel Security

All employees at Insider sign a non-disclosure agreement when their employment begins. In addition, Insider conducts background checks of its employees as part of its onboarding process. All employees are informed of, and agree to comply with, Insider’s security policies and practices as a part of their initial onboarding.

System administrators, developers and other users with privileged access receive special and ongoing training and are subjected to additional background screening.

4. Physical and Environmental Security

Access to Insider facilities is controlled by 24-hour security. Additionally, all Insider offices are protected by locked access and are under 24-hour video surveillance. All Insider employee workstations are encrypted and password protected, and all Insider user accounts require two-factor authentication.

Data centers and servers are managed and controlled by our Cloud hosting providers. Insider employees have no access to any of these data centers.

Details regarding the security practices & controls applicable to these facilities can be found at their websites: AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/security

5. Policies and Logging

The Insider Services are operated in accordance with the following procedures to enhance security:

  • User passwords are never transmitted or stored in clear text
  • Insider uses industry-standard methods to determine password validity
  • Insider keeps audit logs for all access to production servers
  • Server access is controlled via Amazon Web Services Identity and Access Management
  • Logs are stored in a secure centralized host to prevent tampering
  • Passwords are not logged under any circumstances
  • All access to customer dashboard accounts by Insider Employees must be done through an internal service that is accessible via a 2-factor VPN only

As part of Insider’s Employee Information Security Policy, employees may not store any Customer Data on removable media

6. Intrusion Detection

Insider monitors system, user, and file behavior across its infrastructure using a host-based Intrusion Detection System. Intrusion Detection alerts are monitored by the Security and DevOps teams 24/7. Additionally, Insider may analyze data collected by users’ web browsers (e.g., device type, screen resolution, time zone, operating system version, browser type and version, system fonts, installed browser plug-ins, enabled MIME types, etc.) for security purposes, including to detect compromised browsers, to prevent fraudulent authentications, and to ensure that the Insider Services function properly.

Insider’s APIs and Dashboard use strict role-based access controls and user permissioning. Unauthorized web requests and API calls are logged and automatically alert Insider’s engineering team.

7. Security Logs

All Insider systems used in the provision of the Insider Services, including firewalls, routers, network switches, and operating systems log information to their respective system log facility in order to enable security reviews and analysis.

8. System Patching and Configuration Management

Insider patches its servers and rebuilds its entire cloud infrastructure from configuration management systems on a regular basis, which ensures that the latest patches are applied and that we “reset” back to a known, clean state. Insider maintains multiple environments and tests changes in containerized development environments and in live staging environments before making changes to production environments.

9. Vulnerability Management

Insider’s infrastructure and applications are continuously scanned by a Vulnerability Management System. Alerts are monitored by our Security Team and addressed at least monthly by the Insider Security Team. Insider also maintains a list membership to various CVE vulnerability mailing lists. Patches and ‘critical’ and ‘high’ vulnerabilities are remediated no later than 30 days following discovery.

Insider also uses static code analysis tools during the build process (such as Brakeman and bundler-audit) to perform static security analysis.

10Third-Party Penetration Testing

Insider undergoes a third-party penetration test of the Insider Services on an annual basis.

11Monitoring

For technical monitoring, maintenance and support processes, Insider uses a combination of tools to ensure that processes and servers are running properly, including but not limited to:

  •     Process monitoring
  •     CPU, disk, and memory monitoring
  •     Uptime monitoring
  •     Functional monitoring
  •     Database monitoring
  •     APM performance monitoring
  •     Latency monitoring 
  •     Error monitoring

12Customer Access Control

The Insider Services employ a variety of security controls. These include, but are not limited to:

  • API IP Whitelisting – Defines the range of IP addresses from which a customer’s users can access the Insider API to prevent unauthorized third parties from accessing the Insider Services.
  • All requests on the Insider Dashboard have cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection. All web services use encrypted HTTPS for all traffic and disallow all HTTP traffic via HTTP Strict Transport Security (“HSTS”).
  • Failed login attempts are recorded and an account is locked out with the owner notified after multiple failed attempts.

13Development and Maintenance

Insider uses tools such as GitHub to effectively manage the development lifecycle. During testing, Insider generates test accounts and fake data for testing. Insider does not use production data in test accounts.

Application source control is accomplished through private GitHub repositories. Insider has controls in place to ensure that all code must be approved before being merged to Insider’s main code branch; only authorized employees are granted access to promote code to production.

Insider developers receive additional security training as part of their onboarding, and undergo regular and periodic security training during the term of their employment. Insider maintains a list of core security principles for engineering and high-level guidelines on security topics for secure software development.

14Malware Prevention

Insider adopts the principle of least privilege for all accounts running application or database services. Proper change management ensures that only authorized packages are installed via a package management system containing only trusted software, and that software is never installed manually.

All Insider employee computers have virus scanners installed and updated definitions sent out from a central device management platform.

15Information Security Incident Management

Insider maintains written and regularly-audited security incident management policies and procedures, including an Incident Response Plan to be enacted in the event of an incident.

16Data Encryption

The Insider Services use industry-accepted encryption practices to protect Customer Data and communications during transmissions between a customer’s network and the Insider Services, including 256-bit TLS Certificates and 4096-bit RSA public keys at a minimum.

Insider audits the TLS ciphers used in connection with the provision of the Services with third-party security auditors to ensure that anonymous or weak ciphers are not used. These audits also confirm that the Services do not allow client renegotiation, support downgrade attack protection and forward secrecy.

Data shipped to Amazon Web Services is encrypted in transit and at-rest using AES-256 encryption via Amazon’s managed encryption key process.

Where use of the Services requires a customer to provide access to third party services, Insider performs additional encryption of that information.

17Return and Deletion of Customer Data

The Insider Services allow import, export, and deletion of Customer Data by authorized users at all times during the term of a customer’s subscription. Following termination or expiration of the Services, Insider shall securely overwrite or delete Customer Data within 180 days following any such termination, in accordance with the Agreement, applicable laws and the Documentation.

18Reliability and Backup

All networking components, SSL accelerators, load balancers, Web servers and application servers are configured in a redundant configuration. All Customer Data submitted to the Insider Services is stored on a multiple database server with multiple active clusters for higher availability. All database servers replicate in near real-time and are backed up on a regular basis. Backups are encrypted using AES-256 encryption and verified for integrity.

19Business Continuity Management and Disaster Recovery

Insider has a formal and documented Business Continuity Procedure and Disaster Recovery Plan, which is tested annually. Insider tests database backups and failovers as part of our Business Continuity Plan.

20. Blocking Third Party Access

The Insider Services have not been designed to include any backdoors or similar functionality that would allow the government or any third parties to access Customer Data. We do not voluntarily provide any government or other third party with encryption keys, or any other way to break our encryption.
