1. Data Center & Network Security
(a) Data Centers.
Infrastructure. tammah endeavors to maintain geographically distributed data centers. tammah stores all production data in physically secure data centers.
Redundancy. Infrastructure systems have been designed to eliminate single points of failure and minimize the impact of anticipated environmental risks. Dual circuits, switches, networks or other necessary devices help provide this redundancy. The Processor Services are designed to allow tammah to perform certain types of preventative and corrective maintenance without interruption. All environmental equipment and facilities have documented preventative maintenance procedures that detail the process for and frequency of performance in accordance with the manufacturer’s or internal specifications. Preventative and corrective maintenance of the data center equipment is scheduled through a standard process according to documented procedures.
Power. The data center electrical power systems are designed to be redundant and maintainable without impact to continuous operations, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week. In most cases, a primary as well as an alternate power source, each with equal capacity, is provided for critical infrastructure components in the data center. Backup power is provided by various mechanisms such as uninterruptible power supply (UPS) batteries, which supply consistently reliable power protection during utility brownouts, blackouts, over voltage, under voltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
Server Operating Systems. tammah servers use hardened operating systems which are customized for the unique server needs of the business. Data is stored using proprietary algorithms to augment data security and redundancy. tammah employs a code review process to increase the security of the code used to provide the Processor Services and enhance the security products in production environments.
Businesses Continuity. tammah endeavors to replicate data over multiple systems to help to protect against accidental destruction or loss. tammah has business continuity planning/disaster recovery programs.
(b) Networks & Transmission.
Data Transmission. Data centers are typically connected via high-speed private links to provide secure and fast data transfer between data centers. This is designed to prevent data from being read, copied, altered or removed without authorization during electronic transfer or transport or while being recorded onto data storage media. tammah transfers data via Internet standard protocols.
External Attack Surface. tammah employs multiple layers of network devices and intrusion detection to protect its external attack surface. tammah considers potential attack vectors and incorporates appropriate purpose built technologies into external facing systems.
Intrusion Detection. Intrusion detection is intended to provide insight into ongoing attack activities and provide adequate information to respond to incidents. tammah’s intrusion detection involves:
1. Tightly controlling the size and make-up of tammah’s attack surface through preventative measures;
2. Employing intelligent detection controls at data entry points; and
3. Employing technologies that automatically remedy certain dangerous situations.
Incident Response. tammah monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and tammah’s security personnel will react promptly to known incidents.
2. Access and Site Controls
(a) Site Controls.
On-site Data Center Security Operation. tammah’s data centers maintain an on-site security operation responsible for all physical data center security functions.
Data Center Access Procedures. The data centers are housed in facilities that require electronic card key access, with alarms that are linked to the on-site security operation. All entrants to the data center are required to identify themselves as well as show proof of identity to on-site security operations. Only authorized employees, contractors and visitors are allowed entry to the data centers. Only authorized employees and contractors are permitted to request electronic card key access to these facilities. Data center electronic card key access requests must be made in advance and in writing, and require the approval of the requestor’s manager and the data center director. All other entrants requiring temporary data center access must: (i) obtain approval in advance from the data center managers for the specific data center and internal areas they wish to visit; (ii) sign in at on-site security operations; and (iii) reference an approved data center access record identifying the individual as approved.
On-site Data Center Security Devices. tammah’s data centers employ an electronic card key and biometric access control system that is linked to a system alarm. The access control system monitors and records each individual’s electronic card key and when they access perimeter doors, shipping and receiving, and other critical areas. Unauthorized activity and failed access attempts are logged by the access control system and investigated, as appropriate. Authorized access throughout the business operations and data centers is restricted based on zones and the individual’s job responsibilities. The fire doors at the data centers are alarmed.
(b) Access Control.
Infrastructure Security Personnel. tammah has, and maintains, a security policy for its personnel, and requires security training as part of the training package for its personnel. tammah’s infrastructure security personnel are responsible for the ongoing monitoring of tammah’s security infrastructure, the review of the Processor Services, and responding to security incidents.
Access Control and Privilege Management. Customer’s administrators and users must authenticate themselves via a central authentication system or via a single sign on system in order to use the Processor Services.
Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. tammah’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to prevent unauthorized persons and/or systems from gaining access to systems used to process personal data. tammah aims to design its systems to: (i) only allow authorized persons to access data they are authorized to access; and (ii) ensure that personal data cannot be read, copied, altered or removed without authorization during processing, use and after recording. The systems are designed to detect any inappropriate access. tammah employs a centralized access management system to control personnel access to production servers, and only provides access to a limited number of authorized personnel. tammah 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; and a need to know basis. The granting or modification of access rights must also be in accordance with tammah’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 that follow at least industry standard practices are implemented. These standards include restrictions on password reuse and sufficient password strength.
3. Data
(a) Data Storage, Isolation & Authentication.
tammah stores data in a multi-tenant environment. Data, the Processor Services database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple geographically dispersed data centers. tammah logically isolates each customer’s data. A central authentication system is used across all Processor Services to increase uniform security of data.
4. Personnel Security
tammah personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. tammah conducts reasonably appropriate backgrounds checks to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local labor law and statutory regulations.
Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, tammah’s confidentiality and privacy policies. Personnel are provided with security training. Personnel handling Customer Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role. tammah’s personnel will not process Customer Personal Data without authorization.
5. Subprocessor Security
Before onboarding Subprocessors, tammah conducts an audit of the security and privacy practices of Subprocessors to ensure Subprocessors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Once tammah has assessed the risks presented by the Subprocessor then, subject always to the requirements set out in Section 11.3 (Requirements for Subprocessor Engagement), the Subprocessor is required to enter into appropriate security, confidentiality and privacy contract terms.
