Access Control to Use Specific Areas of Data Processing Systems

Cornerstone commits that the persons entitled to use its Personal Data Processing system are only able to access the data within the scope and to the extent covered by its access permission (role or authorization) and that Personal Data cannot be read, copied or modified or removed without authorization.This shall be accomplished by:

employee policies and training with respect to each employee’s access rights to the Personal Data;

allocation of individual terminals and /or terminal user, and identification characteristics exclusive to specific functions;

monitoring capability in respect of individuals who delete, add or modify the Personal Data;

effective and measured disciplinary action against individuals who access Personal Data without authorization;

release of Personal Data only to authorized persons;

control of files, controlled and documented destruction of Personal Data; and

policies controlling the retention of back-up copies.

Availability Control

Cornerstone shall maintain suitable measures to ensure that Personal Data are protected from accidental destruction or loss.This is accomplished by:

infrastructure redundancy;

tape backup is stored off-site and available for restore in case of failure of SAN infrastructure for database server;

complying with Cornerstone’s business continuity policy; and

any detected security incident is recorded

For all applications supported by the Cornerstone, the following controls will be implemented:

Transmission Control

Cornerstone shall maintain suitable measures to prevent the Personal Data from being read, copied, altered or deleted by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media.This is accomplished by:

use of state-of-the-art firewall and encryption technologies to protect the gateways and pipelines through which the data travels;

certain highly confidential data (e.g., personally identifiable information such as National ID numbers, credit or debit card numbers) is also encrypted within system transmission; and

as far as possible, all data transmissions are logged, monitored and tracked.

Input Control

Cornerstone implements suitable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom Personal Data has been input into Personal Data Processing systems or removed. This is accomplished by:

an authorization policy for the input of data into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and disposal of stored Personal Data;

authentication of the authorized personnel;

protective measures for the data input into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and disposal of stored Personal Data;

utilization of user codes (passwords);

following a policy according to which all employees of Cornerstone who have access to Personal Data Processed for you shall reset their passwords at a minimum once in a 180 day period;

providing that entries to Data Processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related equipment) are capable of being locked;

automatic log-off of user IDs that have not been used for a substantial period of time;

proof established within Cornerstone’s organization of the input authorization; and

electronic recording of entries.

Cornerstone system administrators (if any):

Cornerstone shall maintain measures to monitor its system administrators and to ensure that they act in accordance with instructions received. This is accomplished by:

individual appointment of system administrators;

adoption of suitable measures to register system administrators' access logs and keep them secure, accurate and unmodified for at least six months;

yearly audits of system administrators’ activity to assess compliance with assigned tasks, the instructions received by importer and applicable laws;

keeping an updated list with system administrators’ identification details (e.g. name, surname, function or organizational area) and tasks assigned.

Separation of Processing for different Purposes

Cornerstone shall maintain suitable measures to ensure that Personal Data collected for different purposes can be Processed separately. This is accomplished by:

access to Personal Data is separated through application security for the appropriate users; and

modules within Cornerstone’s database separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e., by functionality and function.

You acknowledge and agree that Cornerstone may change its security policies and related security measures, provided that Cornerstone maintains, at all times, an overall level of security as least as stringent as the one set forth in this Addendum.
