VII Monitoring of Denodo's performance

Upon prior written notice Customer is entitled to monitor and audit Denodo's compliance with Applicable Data Protection Laws and its obligations in relation to data processing under the Agreement at any time during normal business hours but limited to once a year. Denodo agrees to provide Customer promptly with all access, assistance and information that is reasonably necessary to enable the monitoring and audits concerned.  If the Customer believes that an on-site audit is necessary, Denodo agrees to give Customer reasonable access to its premises (subject to any reasonable confidentiality and security measures), and to any stored personal data and data processing programs it has on-site. Customer is entitled to have the audit carried out by an independent third party. Customer shall pay the actual and reasonable costs of such audit.

VIII Transfers outside the EEA and to third parties

Customer acknowledges that Denodo will transfer personal data:

(a) outside the European Economic Area; or 

(b) to any third party (which shall include any affiliates of processor) where such third party is located outside the European Economic Area;

and in ensuring that the measures necessary for compliance with the Applicable Data Protection Laws around transfers outside the EEA agree that the Standard Contractual Clauses in Schedule I hereto shall apply to such transfers.

to the Standard Contractual Clauses

This Appendix forms part of the Clauses and must be completed and signed by the parties.

Description of the technical and organizational security measures implemented by the data importer in accordance with Clauses 4(d) and 5(c) (or document/legislation attached):

Denodo currently observes the security practices described in this Appendix.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary otherwise agreed to by data exporter, Denodo may modify or update these practices at its discretion provided that such modification and update does not result in a material degradation in the protection offered by these practices.

a) Access Control

Outsourced processing: Denodo hosts services with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, Denodo maintains contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our Data Processing Agreement. Denodo relies on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.

Physical and environmental security: Denodo 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.

Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols: Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, firewall rules.

Physical controls: Denodo implements measures to prevent unauthorized persons from gaining access to the data processing equipment where the personal data is processed or used in Denodo facilities: establishing security areas;  procuring 24-hour security service; requiring all doors to be locked before and after entry;  restricting and protecting access paths; securing the data processing equipment; establishing access authorizations for staff and third parties, including the respective documentation; restricting issuance of card-keys; regulating card-keys once issued; and logging, monitoring and tracking all access to systems.

Authentication: Denodo implemented a uniform password policy. Users who interact with Denodo applications via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data. User IDs are individual and cannot be reassigned to another person.

Authorization: The authorization model in each of Denodo’s services is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access to only that data relevant to the scope of each individual’s role or responsibility. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.

b) Transmission Control

In-transit: Denodo uses firewall and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which personal data travels. Denodo makes 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 Denodo products. Denodo’s encryption implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.

At-rest: Denodo stores user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security.  Denodo has implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest. 

Denodo uses commercially reasonable efforts to log, monitor and track data transmissions to prevent unauthorized persons from reading, copying, altering or deleting data.

c) Input Control

Detection: Denodo designed its services 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 anomalous activities. Denodo personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.

Response and tracking: Denodo 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, Denodo will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.

Communication: If Denodo becomes aware of unlawful access to Customer data stored within its applications, Denodo will: 1) notify the affected Customers of the incident; 2) provide a description of the steps Denodo is taking to resolve the incident; and 3) provide status updates to the Customer contact, as Denodo deems necessary. Notification(s) of incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of the Customer’s contacts.

d) Availability Control

Infrastructure availability: Denodo and Denodo providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure Denodo services are available all time. This is implemented through infrastructure redundancies. The services are also architected to assist Denodo operations in maintaining and updating applications and backend while limiting downtime.

Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Data is backed up to multiple durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones. All databases are backed up and maintained using industry standard methods and ensuring they are readily available for restoration in case of failure of storage infrastructure or database services.
