Security Measures
As from the Addendum Effective Date, RecruitBot will implement and maintain the Security Measures set out in this Annex 3. RecruitBot may update or modify such Security Measures from time to time provided that such updates and modifications do not materially decrease the overall security of the Product.
Security measures include:
1. Access Control
1.1.1 Preventing Unauthorized Product Access Outsourced processing: RecruitBot hosts its Product with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, RecruitBot maintains contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Product in accordance with our DPA. RecruitBot relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
1.1.2 Physical and environmental security: RecruitBot hosts its product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.
1.1.3 Authentication: RecruitBot implemented a uniform password policy for its customer products and single sign-on options. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.
1.1.4 Authorization: Customer data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of RecruitBot’s products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
1.1.5 Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key, through direct user/password login, or through SAML authorization.
1.2 Preventing Unauthorized Product Use
1.2.1 RecruitBot implements industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
1.2.2 Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
1.2.3 Intrusion detection and prevention: RecruitBot implemented a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
1.2.4 Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in RecruitBot’s source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
1.2.5 Third Party Testing: Other forms of external testing are performed, for instance validation of correct SSL implementations.
1.3 Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
1.3.1 Product access: A subset of RecruitBot’s employees have access to the products and to Personal 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. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated frequently.
Employee roles are reviewed at least once every six months.
2. Transmission Control
2.1 In-transit: RecruitBot makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on every one of its login interfaces and for free on every customer site hosted on the RecruitBot products. RecruitBot’s HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
2.2 At-rest: RecruitBot stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. RecruitBot has implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.
3. Input Control
3.1 Detection: RecruitBot designed its infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behaviour, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. RecruitBot personnel are responsive to known incidents.
3.2 Response and tracking: RecruitBot 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, RecruitBot will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.
3.3 Communication: If RecruitBot becomes aware of unlawful access to Customer data stored within its products, RecruitBot will: 1) notify the affected Customers of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps RecruitBot is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the Customer contact, as RecruitBot deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Customer’s contacts in a form RecruitBot selects, which may include via email or telephone.
4. Availability Control
4.1 Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and HVAC services.
4.2 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 durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones.
4.3 RecruitBot’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 RecruitBot operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
