Encryption of Data Over Private Networks

Question:

  • Is the solution customer data at rest within your or your hosting provider's private network encrypted? If yes, please provide details of the encryption scope and encryption algorithm used.
    • Note: Data at rest refers to all data in computer storage (e.g., hard drives, backup tapes, databases, mobile devices, file systems, etc.).

Yes, we encrypt the data at rest within our SQL Server 2019 databases

  • Is the solution customer data transmitted within your or your hosting provider's private network encrypted? If yes, please provide details on the encryption scope and encryption algorithm used.

The system runs within a Kubernetes cluster where the nodes are protected behind an Istio load balancer. Due to the private setup the traffic between the nodes does not move over the private network of the hosting provided but internally within the cluster.

The data transferred from the client to the enclosed server is encrypted using SSL certificate. The client and server is encryption scope include the SSL handsake and secure communication between the client and server. The encryption use is PKCS #1 SHA-256 With RSA Encryption.

Identity, Entitlement, and Access Management

Question:

  • Does the solution technically enforce a password length of a minimum of 16 characters for the Privileged (Admin) User Accounts? If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Yes, it can be configured. The password enforcement can be configured per client for the users accessing the system. One configuration is available that is share for all users administrators and general users

  1. Does the solution technically enforce a password length of a minimum of 10 characters for the standard End User Accounts? If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Yes, it can be configured. The password enforcement can be configured per client for the users accessing the system. One configuration is available that is share for all users administrators and general users

  1. Does the solution technically enforce password change at a minimum of 90 days? If no, please provide details on the configuration.

The password expiry days can be adjusted per client and is 60 days by default.

  1. Is the solution configured to allow a maximum of 5 failed login attempts before the account gets locked out/wiped? If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Yes, the maximum failed login attempts is 10 by default and can be customised per client

  1. Does the solution technically enforce password history control to a minimum of 8 passwords? (e.g., How many unique new passwords a user must use before an old password can be reused?) If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Yes, the number of password that can be used is customisable and 5 passwords by default

  1. Does the solution technically enforce idle session timeout of a maximum of 15 minutes? (e.g., After a maximum of 15 minutes of idle time, the user's session will be terminated/required to log back in?) If no, please provide details on the configuration.
  2. Does the solution technically enforce at least three of the following password complexity requirements?
  • Uppercase characters (A to Z)
  • Lowercase characters (a to z)
  • Digits (0 to 9)
  • Special characters (~!@#$%^&*_-+=`|\(){}[]:;"'<>,.?/ etc.)
  • If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Yes.

  • Are credentials stored at rest encrypted by using a one-way hashing algorithm (SHA-256, equivalent, or higher security) together with a salt?

Yes

  • Are credentials in transit encrypted? (e.g., not transmitted in clear text)
  • Does the solution offer audit and reporting capabilities regarding user management and modification of access permissions?
  • Does the system support Single-Sign-On (SSO) using Identity and Access management standard protocols? (e.g., SAML, OAuth, OpenID Connect) If no, please provide details on the configuration.

Logging/Tools

Question:

  1. Do you log any administrative and configuration changes to the Services?
  2. Is physical and logical user access to audit logs restricted to authorized personnel?
  3. Are audit logs centrally stored and retained? If so, please provide details on the retention policy.
  4. Are the retained logs sufficient to permit forensic analysis on security events?
  5. Are there any tools in place to continuously monitor, detect, and prevent intrusion/attacks to the solution (IDS, IPS, WAF, etc.)? If yes, please share what tools exactly.
