You agree we may engage Sub-Processors to Process Personal Data on your behalf, and we do so in two ways. First, we may engage Sub-Processors to assist us with hosting and infrastructure. Second, we may engage with Sub-Processors to support product features and integrations.
Where we engage Sub-Processors, we will impose data protection terms on the Sub-Processors that provide at least the same level of protection for Personal Data as those in this DPA, to the extent applicable to the nature of the services provided by such Sub-Processors. We will remain responsible for each Sub-Processor’s compliance with the obligations of this DPA and for any acts or omissions of such Sub-Processor that cause us to breach any of its obligations under this DPA.
We have currently appointed, as Sub-Processors, the third parties listed in Schedule 3 to this DPA.

We maintain and adhere to an internal, written Information Security Policy. You can visit the Projectal Helpdesk, which provides an overview of our security standards.
i) Preventing Unauthorized Product Access
Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with outsourced infrastructure providers. We do not own or maintain hardware located at the outsourced infrastructure providers’ data centers. Production servers and client-facing applications are logically and physically secured from our internal corporate information systems. The infrastructure providers' physical and environmental security controls are audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance, among other certifications.
Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non- public customer data.
Authorization: Customer Data is stored in storage systems accessible to Customers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using Oauth authorization or private app tokens.
ii) Preventing Unauthorized Product Use
We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorized protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
Static code analysis: Code stored in our source code repositories is checked for best practices and identifiable software flaws using automated tooling.
Endpoint Harding: Endpoints are hardened in accordance with industry standard practice. Workstations are protected using anti-malware and endpoint detection & response tools, receiving regular definition and signature updates.
iii) Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
Privileged Access Management: Privileged access in our product environment is controlled, monitored, and removed in a timely fashion through “just in time access” (or “JITA”) controls. Non-personal accounts used for system access are stored in a secure vault with additional controls governing privilege elevation and account check out processes.
Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, product development and research, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through JITA requests for access; all such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are initiated daily. Administrative or high risk access permissions are reviewed at least once every six months.
In-transit: We require HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS). Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We take a layered approach of at-rest encryption technologies to ensure Customer data and Customer-identified Permitted Sensitive Data are appropriately encrypted.
Incident Response Plan: We maintain a written Incident Response Plan, playbooks, and other necessary processes and procedures to fulfill the standards and obligations reflected therein.
Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behavior, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
Response and tracking: We maintain 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, we will take appropriate steps to minimize product and Customer damage or unauthorized disclosure. Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) services.
Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail- over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to durable data stores.
Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary instance. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.
Disaster Recovery Plans: We maintain and regularly test disaster recovery plans to help ensure availability of information following interruption to, or failure of, critical business processes.
Our products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
Vulnerability Remediation Schedule: We maintain a vulnerability remediation schedule aligned with industry standards. We take a risk-based approach to determining a vulnerability’s applicability, likelihood, and impact in our environment.
Vulnerability scanning: We perform daily vulnerability scanning on our products using technology and detection standards aligned with industry standards.
Vulnerability scanning: We perform daily vulnerability scanning on our products using technology and detection standards aligned with industry standards.
We staff qualified personnel to develop, maintain, and enhance our security program. We train all employees on security policy, processes, and standards relevant to their role and in accordance with industry practice.
Background checks: All JanusKS employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
