1. Security Governance

BlueTally maintains an information security program (including the adoption and enforcement of internal policies and procedures) designed to: (a) help our customers secure their data processed using BlueTally’s online product against accidental or unlawful loss, access, or disclosure, (b) identify reasonably foreseeable and internal risks to security and unauthorized access to the BlueTally online product, and (c) minimize security risks, including through risk assessment and regular testing.

a. Application security (secure development, security feature design)
b. Infrastructure security (revision of data center security)
c. Monitoring and incident response
d. Vulnerability management (vulnerability scanning and resolution)
e. Compliance and technical privacy
2. Access Control
2.1. Preventing Unauthorized Product Access
a. Third party data hosting and processing: We host our Service with third party cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with the Addendum. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
b. Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls of such providers have the industry required certifications.
c. Authentication: Customers who interact with the products via the user interface are required to authenticate before they are able to access their non-public data. BlueTally supports Single-Sign On for some of our paid accounts.
d. Authorization: Customer Content (data originated by customers that a customer transmits through BlueTally online service) is stored in multi-tenant storage systems which are only accessible to Customers via application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products 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.
e. Application Programming Interface (API) access: Product APIs may be accessed using an API key. Authorization credentials are stored encrypted. API access is only available in some of our subscription plans. Users are responsible for API key safe keeping.
2.2. Preventing Unauthorized Product Use. We implement industry-standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support our products.
a. 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.
2.3. Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
a. Product access: A subset of our personnel have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of personnel is to provide effective customer support, troubleshoot potential problems, detect, and respond to security incidents, and implement data security.
b. Personnel Security: BlueTally personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards.
c. Personnel are required to execute a confidentiality agreement and must acknowledge receipt of, and compliance with, BlueTally’s confidentiality and security policies.
3. Encryption Technologies
3.1. In-transit: We make HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on all our login interfaces and for free on every customer site hosted on the BlueTally products. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry-standard algorithms and certificates.
3.2. At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We have implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest. We also offer two factor authentication to our clients.
4. Input Controls
4.1. 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 personnel of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
4.2. 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, and/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. Notifications will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

This design assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.
6.1. Redundancy: The infrastructure providers use designs to eliminate single points of failure and minimize the impact of anticipated environmental risks. BlueTally’s product is designed to allow the company to perform certain types of preventative and corrective maintenance without interruption.
6.2. Business Continuity: BlueTally has designed and regularly plans and tests its business continuity planning/disaster recovery programs.
7. List of Subprocessors
BlueTally uses certain sub-processors and third parties to assist it in providing the BlueTally Services.
A sub-processor is a third-party data processor engaged by BlueTally, who has or potentially will have access to or process Content (which may contain Personal Data). BlueTally engages different types of sub-processors to perform various functions as explained in the tables below.
This information is provided to illustrate BlueTally´s engagement process for sub-processors and does not create a binding agreement. This list may change without prior notice.
Before entering into any third-party relationships, we take deliberate steps to conduct an assessment of risk arising from the vendor relationship.
Any sub-processor who has access to BlueTally Personal Data are expected to demonstrate their security policies, processes, and procedures and prove that they are able to provide adequate protection of such data, including against misuse or compromise.
