Taking into account the nature of the Processing, if You are unable to independently address a Data Subject Request, Wenable will assist You by appropriate technical and organizational measures, insofar as this is possible and to the extent Wenable is legally permitted to do so, for the fulfillment of Your obligation to respond to a Data Subject Request under Data Protection Laws and Regulations.

5.3. Objection Right for New Sub-processors. You may object to Wenable’s use of a new Sub-processor by notifying Wenable promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after receipt of Wenable’s notice in accordance with the mechanism set out in Section 5.2. In the event You object to a new Sub-processor, as permitted in the preceding sentence, Wenable will use reasonable efforts to make available to You a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Your configuration or use of the Services to avoid Processing of Personal Data by the objected-to new Sub- processor without unreasonably burdening You. If Wenable is unable to make available such change within a reasonable period of time, which shall not exceed thirty (30) days, You may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) with respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Wenable without the use of the objected-to new Sub-processor by providing written notice to Wenable. Wenable will refund You any prepaid fees covering the remainder of the term of such Order Form(s) following the effective date of termination with respect to such terminated Services, without imposing a penalty for such termination on You.

6. SECURITY

6.1. Controls for the Protection of Your Data. Wenable shall maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Your Data. In doing so, Wenable shall take into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of Processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. You are solely responsible for (a) determining whether the Services meet Your security standards and support Your obligations under Data Protection Laws and Regulations and (b) the secure use of Wenable’s Services by Yourself or any individual You provide with an Authorized Device, including but not limited to securing account authentication information and ensuring no User seeks to misuse Personal Data or engages in activities likely to give rise to a Data Incident (defined below).

6.2. Data Protection Impact Assessment. Upon Your  request, Wenable shall provide You with reasonable cooperation and assistance needed to fulfill Your obligation under Data Protection Laws and Regulations to carry out a data protection impact assessment related to Your use of the Services, to the extent You do not otherwise have access to the relevant information, and to the extent such information is available to Wenable.

Wenable shall notify You without undue delay after becoming aware of the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to Your Data, including Personal Data, transmitted, stored or otherwise Processed by Wenable or its Sub-processors occurring on Wenable or our Sub-Processor’s information system of which Wenable becomes aware (a “Data Incident”). Wenable shall make reasonable efforts to identify the cause of such Data Incident and take such steps as Wenable deems necessary and reasonable to remediate the cause of such a Data Incident to the extent the remediation is within Wenable's reasonable control. At Your reasonable request, and to the extent Wenable is required to do so under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations, Wenable will promptly provide You with commercially reasonable assistance as necessary to enable You to meet Your obligations under applicable Data Protection Laws and Regulations to notify authorities and/or affected Data Subjects. The obligations herein shall not apply to incidents that are caused by You or Your Users.

8. GOVERNMENT ACCESS REQUESTS

8.1. Wenable Requirements. If Wenable receives a legally binding request from a Public Authority to access Personal Data that Wenable Processes on Your behalf, Wenable shall, unless otherwise legally prohibited, promptly notify You including a summary of the nature of the request. To the extent Wenable is prohibited by law from providing such notification, Wenable shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of the prohibition to enable Wenable to communicate as much information as possible, as soon as possible. Further, Wenable shall challenge the request if, after careful assessment, it concludes that there are reasonable grounds to consider that the request is unlawful. Wenable shall pursue possibilities of appeal. When challenging a request, Wenable shall seek interim measures with a view to suspending the effects of the request until the competent judicial authority has decided on its merits. It shall not disclose the Personal Data requested until required to do so under the applicable procedural rules. Wenable agrees it will provide the minimum amount of information permissible when responding to a request for disclosure, based on a reasonable interpretation of the request. Wenable shall promptly notify You if Wenable becomes aware of any direct access by a Public Authority to Your Data and provide information available to Wenable in this respect, to the extent permitted by law.

11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Except as specifically provided in the EU C-to-P Transfer Clauses, each party’s and all of its Affiliates’ liability, taken together in the aggregate, arising out of or related to this DPA, and all DPAs between Authorized Affiliates and Wenable, whether in contract, tort or under any other theory of liability, is subject to the ‘Limitation of Liability’ section of the Agreement, and any reference in such section to the liability of a party means the aggregate liability of that party and all of its Affiliates under the Agreement and all DPAs together.

  • The EU C-to-P Transfer Clauses.Where You and/or its Authorized Affiliate is a Controller and a data exporter of Personal Data and Wenable is a Processor and data importer in respect of that Personal Data, then the Parties shall comply with the EU C-to-P Transfer Clauses, subject to the additional terms in Section 2 of Schedule 1.

12.4. Impact of local laws. As of the Effective Date, Wenable has no reason to believe that the laws and practices in any third country of destination applicable to its Processing of the Personal Data as set forth in the Infrastructure and Sub-processors Documentation, including any requirements to disclose Personal Data or measures authorising access by a Public Authority, prevent Wenable from fulfilling its obligations under this DPA. If Wenable reasonably believes that any existing or future enacted or enforceable laws and practices in the third country of destination applicable to its Processing of the Personal Data (“Local Laws”) prevent it from fulfilling its obligations under this DPA, it shall promptly notify You. In such a case, Wenable shall use reasonable efforts to make available to You a change in the Services or recommend a commercially reasonable change to Your configuration or use of the Services to facilitate compliance with the Local Laws without unreasonably burdening You. If Wenable is unable to make available such change promptly, You may terminate the applicable Order Form(s) and suspend the transfer of Personal Data in respect only to those Services which cannot be provided by Wenable in accordance with the Local Laws by providing written notice in accordance with the “Notices” section of the Agreement.

11. TECHNICAL AND ORGANISATIONAL MEASURES

In addition to the administrative, physical and technical safeguards for protection of the security, confidentiality and integrity of Personal Data uploaded to the Services, as described in the Security and Privacy documentation available HERE, Wenable also had implemented the following technical and organizational measures:

Access Control

  • The Wenable platform is hosted on Amazon Web Services. Additionally, Wenable maintains contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Services in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement. Wenable relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
  • Under AWS’s shared responsibility model, the physical and environmental security controls are maintained bv AWS and audited for SOC 2 Type I and ISO 27001, 27017, 17018 compliance, among other certifications by an AICPA Accredited third party public trust audit firm.
  • Wenable enforces a uniform password policy for its technology infrastructure components. Customers can configure their own password requirements for Wenable platform administrative level accounts. Customers who interact with the Wenable administrative user interface must authenticate via multi-factor authentication or via their own single sign-on identity provider and associated strong identity policies. Access to systems and applications with customer data requires two-factor authentication in the form of user ID / password, and a one-time password (OTP) or certificate. Additionally access to systems that house and can expose access to personal information is restricted to those users whose job function absolutely requires access to this data, and the principle of least privilege is applied.
  • Customer data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Wenable’s customers only via application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of Wenable’s products uses role-based access control to ensure that only appropriate individuals can access relevant resources. A systems administrator approves internal user access to the infrastructure provider for authorized personnel. Access approvals and modifications to the user access list are logged.
  • Application Programming Interface (“API”) access: Additional functionality may be accessed via  the WeGuard API. API access requires authentication via an API key. API keys can be further constrained by customers to reduce the set of capabilities that a given API key is authorized to invoke. These API invoked activities are logged within the WeGuard administration web interface.
  • A subset of Wenable’s employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. All such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated regularly. System owners conduct quarterly user access reviews of production servers, databases and applications to validate internal user access is commensurate with job responsibilities. Identified access changes are tracked to remediation.
  • Background checks are performed on new hires before the new hire's start date as permitted by local laws. The Human Resources team reviews the results and takes any appropriate action deemed necessary. Wenable has an established code of conduct outlining ethical expectations, behavior standards, and ramifications of non compliance, and requires internal personnel to acknowledge it.

Transmission Control

  • In-transit: Wenable  uses Transport Layer  Security version 1.2 or better paired with appropriately selected cipher suites on every one of its login Interfaces and API Endpoints.. Wenable’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates, specifically 256 bit AES Encryption in Galois Counter Mode, aka AES-256-GCM.
  • At-rest: Wenable stores user passwords following policies that support  industry standard practices for security. For Example passwords are stored as non-reversible hashes using a properly selected password-hashing function.
  • All customer data is encrypted at rest using the cloud service provider’s key management service and cryptographic modules.

Input Control

  • Wenable implements intrusion detection and infrastructure monitoring to detect threats to the network environment. Wenable uses logging review and alerting as well as application performance  monitoring  software to collect data from servers and endpoints, detect potential security threats or unusual system activity, monitor system performance, and track resource utilization.
  • IP Filtering (Internet protocol version 4)  configurations ensure available networking ports and protocols are restricted to approved business rules. Web application firewalls ensure only appropriate messages are  reviewed by our web facing API Interfaces. Distributed Denial of Service controls protect Wenable applications from network OSI  layers 3,4 and 7 attacks. Wenable’s DDoS provider also protects Wenable from common layer 7 attacks, and removes traffic from known bad actors.
  • To maintain separation of duties, one engineer plans and prepares a change request and then a second individual   engineer reviews, tests, and approves configuration changes before the changes are deployed into production. Wenable has developed policies and procedures governing the system development life cycle, including documented policies for tracking, testing, approving, and validating changes.
  • Wenable engages a qualified third party penetration testing vendor to conduct a network and application penetration test of the production environment at least annually. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.
  • Wenable’s infrastructure is configured to log information about system behavior, traffic, system authentication, and other application requests. System tools monitor company load balancers and notify appropriate personnel of any events or outages based on predetermined criteria. Any identified issues are tracked through resolution in accordance with the Incident Management Policy.
  • Wenable maintains a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, Wenable will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.
  • If Wenable becomes aware of unlawful access to non-Wenable data stored within its Services, Wenable will: 1) notify the affected customers of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps Wenable is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the customer contact, as Wenable deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the customer’s contacts in a form Wenable selects, which may include via email or telephone.

Availability Control

  • Wenable maintains a vulnerability management program to detect and remediate system vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scans are executed monthly on production systems. Any critical or high-risk vulnerabilities are tracked through resolution.
  • Infrastructure availability: Wenable’s Cloud Service Provider’s infrastructure services use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and HVAC services.
  • Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to multiple datacenters.
  • Online replicas and backups:  Wenable databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary database. Database replicas are hosted in separate availability zones. Availability zones have their own separate redundant infrastructure services.  All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.
  • Wenable’s products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists Wenable operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
