Security

Our commitment to you and the protection of your data

As of May 25, 2018, the `General Data Protection Regulation’ or GDPR is enforced across all EU states. This compliance regulation intends to unify legislation around how personal data is used and managed, leading to more standardized protections for all. Under GDPR, consumers will benefit from increased privacy protections for their personal data.

‍‍Organisational Readiness at FYI

‍Protecting our customer’s personal data is of utmost importance to the FYI team. For the last several months, we’ve worked diligently to ensure we meet all of the GDPR compliance requirements.

‍TRAINING AND PRIVACY AWARENESS
‍All FYI employees have been given GDPR training, overseen by our on-site compliance team. Training sessions are conducted upon hire for all new employees and annually thereafter.

DATA MAPPING AND PRIVACY IMPACT ASSESSMENT
‍To verify that our privacy practices are appropriate, FYI conducted an initial data mapping exercise. This included a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to assess how we collect, process, and store personal data and determine potential privacy impacts.

‍INFORMATION SECURITY POLICIES
FYI has informational security and data protection policies governing when employees and contractors can access data stores containing your data.

DATA TRANSFER
‍FYI participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. FYI is responsible for the processing of personal data it receives, under each Privacy Shield Framework, and subsequently transfers data to a third party acting as an agent on its behalf. FYI complies with the Privacy Shield Frameworks for all onward transfers of personal data from the EU and Switzerland, including the onward transfer liability provisions

INCIDENT RESPONSE
Our Incident Response procedures have been designed and tested to ensure potential security events are identified and reported to appropriate personnel for resolution, personnel follow defined protocols for resolving security events, and steps for resolution are documented and reviewed by the InfoSec Team on a regular basis. Additionally, we’re working to update these policies and procedures to include breach notification if and when a security incident involves the loss of or unauthorized use of personal identifiable information (PII).

‍PRODUCT REVIEWS
‍We’ve updated our Software Development Lifecycle (“SDLC”) to ensure the System changes are performed in accordance with GDPR requirements, including considerations for Privacy in the following areas:

  • Planning
  • Change Documentation
  • Development of Test Plans
  • Change Testing and Documentation of Results
  • Quality Assurance (“QA”) Review and Approval
  • Third-party Review and attestation
  • Periodic review and update‍

VENDOR REVIEWS
‍All our current vendors have been reviewed to ensure they meet security and privacy requirements required for GDPR. To maintain assurance, these reviews will be conducted for all incoming vendors.

CONTRACTUAL PROTECTIONS – DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENTS
‍FYI has created a GDPR-ready Data Processing Agreement should you require EU-compliant contractual protections. The FYI Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) describes the data protection obligations between the Customer for the Service delivered by FYI (“Data Processor”). Data Processing Agreements are available for our customers should they be required.

Product Readiness

‍‍ENCRYPTION
‍By default, communication with our services uses Transport Layer Security (TLS), which is regularly updated to use the latest ciphersuites and TLS configurations. Additionally we encrypt all customer data at rest using AES 256-T.

DATA DELETION AND ACCESS
‍GDPR gives consumers the legal right to request access to and request the amendment of, or deletion of personal information stored by a company.
‍We do allow our customers to delete their data from our products whenever processing is complete, legally binding retention requirements are met, and all parties associated with the artifact in question have agreed to its deletion

COOKIE COMPLIANCE
At FYI we mostly use “session cookies” that are automatically deleted after each visit. These cookies permit us to recognize users and avoid repetitive requests for the same information.
‍However, cookies can be uniquely attributed to a device and therefore they are capable of identifying an individual. As such, we’ve reviewed all of our cookies to ensure the required consent is gathered and that they are treated as PII when appropriate.
