Exhibit B

Technical and Organisational Security Measures

(Including Technical and Organisational Measures to Ensure the Security of Data)

Below is a description of the technical and organisational measures implemented by the Processor (including any relevant certifications) 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.

Full details of the Processor’s/Data Importer’s technical and organisational security measures used to protect Personal Data is available at https://sedna.com/data-processing-addendum.

Where applicable this Exhibit B will serve as Annex II to the SCCs.

Measure	Description
Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of Personal Data	All data at rest, including backups, are encrypted using the AES-256 encryption algorithm. Data in transit to and from SEDNA is protected via NSB-approved communications protocols such as TLS/SSL. Inbound and outbound Email is delivered with TLS/SSL encryption when available. All encryption is performed in accordance with NIST Cryptographic Standards and Guidelines and the NIST Policy on Hash Functions. The following types of encryption may be employed, depending on the purpose: Asymmetric encryption: public key infrastructure underlying SSL/TLS 1.1 and 1.2, and SSH FTP (e.g., RSA 2048-bit) Symmetric encryption: private key encryption (e.g., AES-128, 192, 256 bit) Hashing: one-way encryption for confirming authenticity (e.g., digital signature signings) Virtual private networks (VPNs) may also be used to assist with the protection of information, and with accessing private, authentication-required services. Amazon Web Services (AWS) Key Management Service (KMS) is employed for the management of encryption keys.
Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services	Access to data necessary for the performance of the particular task is ensured within the systems and applications by a corresponding role and authorisation concept. In accordance to the “least privilege” and “need-to-know” principles, each role has only those rights which are necessary for the fulfilment of the task to be performed by the individual person.
Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to Personal Data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident	All of the Processor’s applications are built in a High Availability configuration. Databases are subject to synchronous replication across multiple availability zones and backups of the databases are retained for a rolling period of 7 days in accordance with our backup procedures. In the event of failure of both High Availability databases, data can be restored to a third data centre.
Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing	The Processor maintains an ISO/IEC 27001:2013-certified Information Security Management System, subject to annual audit as well as other internal assurance exercises. In addition to automated monitoring and alerting, the Processor is subject to penetration testing by an independent third-party at least annually.
Measures for user identification and authorisation	The Processor supports SAML-based authentication as well as enforcing Multi-Factor Authentication. Once a user has been authenticated, authorisation is derived from the roles assigned to the user by the Controller.
Measures for the protection of data during transmission	Data in Transit to and from SEDNA is protected via NSB-approved communications protocols such as TLS/SSL.
Measures for the protection of data during storage	All data at rest, including backups, are encrypted using the AES-256 encryption algorithm.
Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which Personal Data are processed	Due to their respective security requirements, business premises and facilities are subdivided into different security zones with different access authorisations. AWS data centres are subject to industry-leading controls as outlined at https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-center/controls/. Access for employees to office locations is only possible with an encoded ID. All other persons have access only after having registered before (e.g. at the main entrance). The Processor also maintains a Physical and Environmental Security Policy as part of our ISO/IEC 27001:2013-certified ISMS.
Measures for ensuring events logging	The Processor logs all events performed in the system. These events are retained in perpetuity unless destroyed in accordance with the terms of the Master Services & Subscription Agreement. These events are also exposed to the Controller via the User Interface in the form of an Activity Panel, as well as being exposed via API for logging in the Controller’s SIEM.
Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration	The Processor’s system configuration is managed via feature flags editable only by authorized individuals. Changes to configuration beyond the default configuration are logged and monitored. System configuration is applied and maintained by software tools that ensure the system configurations do not deviate from the specifications. Deviations will be fixed automatically and reported to our ISSC.
Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management	Employees are instructed to collect, process and use Personal Data only within the framework and for the purposes of their duties (e.g. service provision). At a technical level, multi-client capability includes separation of functions as well as appropriate separation of testing and production systems. The Controller’s Personal Data is stored in a way that logically or physically separates it from other customer data as determined in the Agreement.
Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products	The Processor is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified and will continue to maintain this certification for the term of the Agreement. The technical and organisational measures defined herein are implemented based on the international standard ISO/IEC 27001:2013. The Processor shall maintain controls materially as protective as those provided in the ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 or other substantially similar or equivalent certification requirements.

Measures for ensuring data minimisation	If Personal Data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was processed, it is deleted in accordance with the terms of the Agreement between the parties.
Measures for ensuring data quality	All of the data processed is provided by the Controller. The Processor does not assess the quality of the data provided by the Controller. The Processor provides reporting tools within its product to help the Controller understand and validate the data that is stored. The Processor also uses a combination of a firewall and malware detection software which monitors data for potential threats and blocks requests as required.
Measures for ensuring limited data retention	The Processor uses a data classification scheme for all data that it stores. When a record with Personal Data is deleted then it will be permanently removed from the Processor’s active databases. The data is retained in backups until they are replaced by more recent backups.
Measures for ensuring accountability	The Processor internally reviews its information security policies at least annually. All employees must acknowledge the information security policies. These employees are re-trained on information security policies once per year. A disciplinary policy is in place for employees that do not adhere to information security policies.
Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure	The Processor maintains procedures and tools that allow data to be exported and provided to the Controller. Further procedures are maintained to allow the Processor to permanently delete data in accordance with the terms of the Agreement between the parties.
Measures to be taken by the (Sub-) processor to be able to provide assistance to the Controller (and, for transfers from a Processor to a Sub-processor, to the Data Exporter).	The transfer of Personal Data to a third party (e.g. customers, sub-contractors, service providers) is only made if a corresponding contract exists, and only for the specific purposes. If Personal Data is transferred outside the EEA, the Processor provides that an adequate level of data protection exists at the target location or organisation in accordance with the European Union’s data protection requirements, e.g. by employing contracts based on the EU SCCs.

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT

Availability Guarantee and Objective

1.1 SEDNA’s Platform shall be available for at least 99.5 % of the time (i.e. 24 hours a day, seven days a week) computed over a calendar year (“Availability”). Specifically excluded from the calculation of Availability are:

issues arising from misuse of the Services by Customer, Customer’s employees, contractors, agents or representatives; and
any other events that are beyond SEDNA’s reasonable control.
