APPENDIX 3: TECHNICAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL MEASURES
1. Confidentiality (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b GDPR)
1.1 Physical Access Control (No unauthorized access to Data Processing Facilities): Entry into facilities is granted only by documented and supervised handling of keys and rfid access cards. On access to the building, an rfid key card must be used. Furthermore, all office rooms require a key for physical access. The combination of locks on doors and rfid key cards prevent unauthorized access by external or third party individuals. Buildings are alarmed out of business hours and facilities are video monitored. All guests must register at the reception before being granted access to the facilities.
1.2 Electronic Access Control (No unauthorized use of the Data Processing and Data Storage Systems): No part of the production environment is hosted on FastTrack Software facilities. The production environment is located in Microsoft Azure datacenters in Amsterdam and Dublin for European datacenter customers and Virginia and Washington in the United States for non-European datacenter customers. FastTrack Software Facilities contain employee computers and servers for testing purposes only. No production data exists in these facilities. Copying any data, even test data, from these facilities or the production environment is strictly forbidden.
1.3 Internal Access Control (permissions for user rights of access to and amendment of data; No unauthorized Reading, Copying, Changes or Deletions of Data within the system): All personnel access to equipment on the facilities is enforced by Active Directory accounts. Passwords are forcibly changed for all employees every 30 days. Accounts are controlled solely by the Data Protection Officer and working using credentials of other persons is strictly forbidden. Accounts are granted strictly on a "need to know" basis. No employee has access to more data than the job description warrants.
1.4 Isolation Control (The isolated Processing of Data, which is collected for differing purposes): No data collected in the Microsoft Azure production environment exists outside the production environment, except for offsite backup.
1.5 Pseudonymization (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point a GDPR; Article 25 Paragraph 1 GDPR): Pseudonymization is an opt-in option for customers to pseudonymize ("Obfuscate") user accounts in such a way that no one can directly link an obfuscated name to an actual person. Neither the Data Processor or the Data Controller can identify the individual from an obfuscated name, if the Data Controller opts in on obfuscation.
2. Integrity (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b GDPR)
2.1 Data Transfer Control (No unauthorized Reading, Copying, Changes or Deletions of Data with electronic transfer or transport): Personal data in the principal service is protected against unauthorized copying to data media. No data can be accessed outside of the principal service, except for personnel with credentials assigned to the employee by the Data Protection Officer.

2.2 Data Entry Control (Verification, whether and by whom personal data is entered into a Data Processing System, is changed or deleted): The principal service stores, changes or deletes any data records only as long as the system allows it. It is possible to track which user made changes to the data.
3. Availability and Resilience (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point b GDPR)
3.1 Availability Control (Prevention of accidental or willful destruction or loss): All data is hosted entirely on Microsoft Azure. All Microsoft Azure servers have mirrored hard drives in RAID systems and are equipped with redundant components. The database is Microsoft SQL Server and the transaction model of Azure SQL Server allows a restore at any second in time for 7 days, in case of accidental or wilful destruction or loss of data. All critical components are monitored by software monitoring special web pages designed to probe every component of the principal service. If critical parts of the principal service are not available, supervising administrators are notified immediately by email.
3.2 Rapid Recovery (Article 32 Paragraph 1 Point c GDPR): The database is Microsoft SQL Server and the transaction model of Azure SQL Server allows a restore at any second in time for 7 days. After 7 days, a daily backup can be restored, either by Microsoft or an off-site backup, which only the Data Protection Officer has access to. In case of accidental or willful loss of data, FastTrack Software can restore a database from an earlier point and has the expertise in-house to successfully merge lost data back into the production environment.
4. Procedures for regular testing, assessment and evaluation (Article 32 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR; Article 25 Paragraph 1 of the GDPR)
4.1 Data Protection Management (Incident Response Management; Data Protection by Design and Default (Article 25 Paragraph 2 GDPR); Order or Contract Control): FastTrack Software has appointed the Data Protection Officer stated in section 15 of the Agreement. Any employee of FastTrack Software with access to production data for support purposes will sign a non-disclosure agreement with FastTrack Software. FastTrack Software uses Microsoft Azure, which means a standard agreement is place between FastTrack Software and Microsoft. The performance of and access to the production environment is evaluated on a scheduled monthly basis by an authorized administrator employed by FastTrack Software. The monitoring service used for Availability Control is equally tested and verified on a monthly basis by an authorized administrator.
