This policy applies for our employees and vendors. Having this cybersecurity policy we are trying to protect Purde Software’s data and technology infrastructure.
This policy applies in addition to the Privacy policy.
Until end of 2020 we will implement https://owaspsamm.org/model/verification/security-testing/ maturity level 1.
We do not open attachments of senders we do not trust.
We do not insert USB devices or SD cards we do not trust.
We use a state-of-the-art virus scanner.
On our development PCs we have a password policy in place which requires passwords of a certain strength and expiration date. On mobile devices we use passwords or bio-metric access protection.
When transferring data from and to our clients we try to use our Jira ServiceDesk whenever possible. A transfer of confidential data via email should be avoided.
Our cloud servers are protected as follows:
For all servers we implement a two-factor-authentication.
We only used well established providers.
The servers are located in the EU.
We only offer an https interface to the clients.
We perform a regular vulnerability scan of the cloud service.
As we are a small company a full-blown quality management system has not been established. However we adhere to the following principles during development and any change:
All user input (e.g. via dialogs) has to be escaped before inserted into templates.
All data transferred from the client to the server (e.g. cache data) has to be escaped before inserted into templates.
All REST interfaces or servlets contain a check whether the current user has the appropriate permission before executing any actions.
GET requests shall be avoided in case data is updated - risk of forged requests
All permission checks are done on the server not the client.
When a request collects data from multiple content entity objects we check that the current user has a view permission on them before including them in the result.
We only include the necessary information the responses.
We minimize the number of 3rd party libraries in our apps.
In case we use 3rd libraries we check the published anomalies list before using them and regularly after release.
Cloud only: we do not store customer data within our cloud apps.
We perform cybersecurity audits depending on the criticality:
Protection of our infrastructure: 2 times / year
Protection of cloud servers: 2 times / year
Protection of apps: at every change or at least once per year for every app
The results are kept here: /wiki/spaces/PLUG/pages/1765998612.
All our apps will undergo a static code analysis with the focus on security. For our open source apps we will use Coverity. Static code analysis is applicable for all new releases starting 2020-08-18.
We currently do not perform penetration tests. The main reason is that the attack vectors are well known and now sufficiently controlled by the design guidelines.
The timelines to fix security related issues is outline in theService level agreement. It is our target to fix found issues as fast and efficient as possible.
In case we identify an issue we inform Atlassian via: https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/14/create/129
