External Attack Surface. PeopleKeys employs multiple layers of network devices and intrusion detection to protect its external attack surface. PeopleKeys considers potential attack vectors and incorporates appropriate purpose-built technologies into external facing systems.

Intrusion Detection. Intrusion detection is intended to provide insight into ongoing attack activities and provide adequate information to respond to incidents. PeopleKeys’ intrusion detection involves:

  1. Tightly controlling the size and make-up of PeopleKeys’ attack surface through preventative measures;
  2. Employing intelligent detection controls at data entry points; and
  3. Employing technologies that automatically remedy certain dangerous situations.

Incident Response. PeopleKeys monitors a variety of communication channels for security incidents, and PeopleKeys’ security personnel will react promptly to known incidents.

Encryption Technologies. PeopleKeys makes HTTPS encryption (also referred to as TLS connection) available. PeopleKeys servers support ephemeral elliptic curve Diffie Hellman cryptographic key exchange signed with RSA and ECDSA. These perfect forward secrecy (PFS) methods help protect traffic and minimize the impact of a compromised key, or a cryptographic breakthrough.

2. Access and Site Controls

On-site Data Centre Security Operation. PeopleKeys’ data center access and site controls are provided by Microsoft Azure as they are the sole Data Center provider to PeopleKeys.

3. Data

(a) Data Storage, Isolation & Authentication.

PeopleKeys stores data in a multi-tenant environment on Microsoft-owned servers. Data, the Processor Services database and file system architecture are replicated between multiple geographically dispersed data centers. PeopleKeys logically isolates each customer’s data. A central authentication system is used across all Processor Services to increase uniform security of data.

4. Personnel Security

PeopleKeys personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards. PeopleKeys conducts reasonably appropriate background checks to the extent legally permissible and in accordance with applicable local labor law and statutory regulations.

Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, PeopleKeys’ confidentiality and privacy policies. Personnel are provided with security training. Personnel handling Customer Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role. PeopleKeys’ personnel will not process Customer Personal Data without authorization.

5. Subprocessor Security

Before onboarding Subprocessors, PeopleKeys conducts an audit of the security and privacy practices of Subprocessors to ensure Subprocessors provide a level of security and privacy appropriate to their access to data and the scope of the services they are engaged to provide. Once PeopleKeys has assessed the risks presented by the Subprocessor, the Subprocessor is required to enter into appropriate security, confidentiality and privacy contract terms, subject to the requirements set out in Section 11.3 (Requirements for Subprocessor Engagement).
