Appendix 1
Technical and organizational measures implemented by Kili
In the event Kili expressly accepts to process Personal Data on behalf of Customer in its capacity as processor within the meaning of the GDPR, Kili implements the technical and organizational measures listed below to ensure confidentiality, integrity and availability of Personal Data provided by Customer.
Such measures are not applicable when Customer uses Kili’s Software, Platform and Services through the On-Premise Enterprise mode. In such a case, it is the Customer's responsibility to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure security of its Personal Data.
Operations Security
Kili implements procedures designed to maintain operations security. Kili has received SOC2 and ISO 27001 certifications.
Protections include:
- Technical testing.
- Protection against malicious software with regularly updated antivirus software.
- Network protection and management with the setup of the WPA2 or WPA2-PSK protocols for Wifi networks; network flows limited to what is necessary; strict isolation of different environments.
- Technical vulnerability management.
- Logging and monitoring.
- Incident response (including a logging system for incidents as well as procedures for Personal Data breach notifications).
- Business continuity planning.
Access Control
Kili implements access controls regarding Personal Data provided by Customer.
All Kili’s personnel have a unique user identifier for system access, and user credentials and passwords are not shared between multiple personnel and respecting the CNIL recommendation (at least 8 characters in length, and containing at least 3 of the following 4 types of characters: lower case letters (a-z); upper case letters (A-Z); numbers (i.e. 0-9); special characters (e.g. !@#$%^&*). The number of attempts to access an account shall be limited. Access should be restricted to only what is necessary to perform job duties. All accounts use two-factor authentication.
An automatic session lock is set up on every computer and monitored.
An annual review of clearances is done, and all non-essential clearances are deleted.
Only authorized employees and third parties working off a signed contract or statement of work, with a business need, have granted access to the processor production networks. The access rights of all users are promptly removed upon termination of their employment or contract, or when rights are no longer needed due to a change in job function or role. The maximum allowable time period for access termination is 24 business hours.
Contract termination is monitored, a warning is sent the day of the offboarding, and alerts are sent as soon as the contract ends if some permissions remain.
Physical & Environmental Security
The physical and environmental security measures implemented by Kili meet the following requirements.
Secure areas are protected by appropriate entry controls to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed access. Access events are logged and reviewed as needed according to risk. Cameras and intrusion detection systems are used at facilities that store or process production data.
Physical security for offices, rooms and facilities are designed and applied to protect from theft, misuse, environmental threats, unauthorized access, and other threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of classified data and systems.
Physical protection against natural disasters, malicious attacks or accidents have been designed and applied.
Secure areas are monitored through the use of intrusion detection systems, alarms, and/or video surveillance systems where feasible. Visitor and third-party access to secure areas is restricted to reduce the risk of information loss and theft.
Production processing facilities are equipped with appropriate environmental and business continuity controls including fire-suppression systems, climate control and monitoring systems, and emergency backup power systems. Physical information system hardware and supporting infrastructure are regularly serviced and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Visitors, delivery personnel, outside support technicians, and other external agents are not permitted into secure areas without escort and/or appropriate oversight. Third parties in secure areas sign in and out on a visitor log and are escorted or monitored by Kili’s personnel. Kili’s personnel observing unescorted visitors should approach the visitor, confirm their status, and ensure they return to approved areas, or report the observation to the responsible authority as needed. Visitor’s access to secure areas is confirmed with appropriate personnel prior to being granted access. Kili’s personnel granting access to visitors into secure areas are responsible for ensuring that visitors comply with all security requirements and are accountable for all actions taken by visitors to whom they grant access. Visitors may be allowed to work unescorted, provided that Kili’s personnel can ensure that visitors will not have unauthorized access to the Kili’s information systems, networks, or data.
Human Resources
Kili maintains human resource policies and processes which include criminal background checks for any employees or contractors who access Personal Data provided by Customer.
Background verification checks are carried out in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and are proportional to the business requirements, the classification of the information to be accessed, and the perceived risks.
Cryptography policy
Kili has evaluated the risks inherent in processing and storing data and implemented cryptographic controls to mitigate those risks where deemed appropriate. Where encryption is in use, strong cryptography with associated key management processes and procedures have been implemented and documented. All encryptions are performed in accordance with industry standards, including NIST SP 800-57.
For all Personal Data, Kili always consider 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 to the rights and freedoms of natural persons and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures surrounding the pseudonymization and encryption of data to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.
For all web traffic sent over the public Internet containing confidential information, the TLS v1.3 protocol is utilized.
Access to keys and secrets are tightly controlled in accordance with the access control policy.
The following table includes Kili’s practices regarding cryptographic keys:
Domain | Key Type | Algorithm | Key Length | Max Expiration |
---|---|---|---|---|
Web Certificate | Digital Signature | DSA or RSA PCKS#1 | 2048 bit | Up to 2 years for normal certificates, up to 10 years for root certificates. 3 months certificates are used for the application. |
Web Cipher | Encryption | AES | 256 bit | N/A |
Confidential | Encryption | AES | 256 bit | 1 Year |
Password | Hash | Bcrypt, PBKDF2, or scrypt, ECDH | 256 bit+10K Stretch | N/A |
Laptop HDD | Encryption | AES | 128 or 256 bit | N/A |
Data management policy
Kili classifies data and information systems in accordance with legal requirements, sensitivity, and business criticality in order to ensure that information is given the appropriate level of protection.
Customer is responsible for identifying any additional requirements for specific data or exceptions to standard handling requirements.
Information systems and applications are classified according to the highest classification of data that they store or process.
Information security policy
