Schedule 1

Reputation.com Technical and Organizational Measures

Reputation.com and all of its affiliates (“Reputation” or “Company”) place a very high importance on the security of its organization and all customer data. The following is an outline of the extensive Technical and Organizational Measures (“TOMs”) that Reputation undertakes to protect customers’ data and all personal data from unauthorized access or disclosure. More detailed information is available upon request.

Compliance Program. Reputation is SOC2 Type II compliant as attested by a third-party auditor and is HIPAA compliant to ensure all customer personal data and protected health information (PHI) are properly handled. Reputation will share the latest SOC2 Type II report and our HIPAA Business Associates Agreement upon request and under NDA.

Customer Data. The Company maintains stringent datastore specifications for all customer data and personal data. All customer data and personal data is encrypted at rest using the AES symmetric block cipher and data is encrypted in transit using TLS. The Company does not disclose or sell the data and personal data that you provide to Reputation about your customers. The Company uses the data you provide us about your customers only to provide your services and for no other purpose. The Company will never request or require the private encryption key from a customer to decrypt exported protected data.

Platform Secure. The Company’s proprietary SaaS reputation management platform (“Platform”) and all customer data are maintained on secure servers at Google Cloud Services in the United States. The Google cloud infrastructure has been designed and is managed in alignment with key security and best practices, including, but not limited to: ISO 27001, SOC 1/SSAE 16/ISAE 3402(formerly SAS70); SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI DSS Level 1, FedRAMP(SM), DIACAP, FISMA, ITAR, FIPS 140-2, CSA, and MPAA.

Personal Data is Encrypted at Rest. Personal Data is encrypted in the Platform using Advanced Encryptions Standard (AES) algorithms.

Data in Transit is encrypted. Data in Transit is enforced encrypted via TLS 1.2 cryptographic protocol.

Password Security. The Company securely encrypts passwords. Passwords are one-way encrypted using the bcrypt algorithm, with a random salt for each password. This means that only the original creator of the password knows its value. When passwords must be retrieved, public/private key encryption is used, with a key length of 4096 or greater. Access and retention of passwords are strongly controlled and logged. Password policy with a minimum of 8 characters with at least 1 upper, 1 lower, 1 numeric and 1 special character is required.

Penetration Testing. Penetration tests are conducted by an independent third-party assessor at least annually. Reputation will share the latest Penetration Test report upon request and under NDA.

No Sensitive Information Collected or Stored. The Company does not collect or store sensitive information such as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, genetic data, biometric data, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation. The Company also does not collect or store personal financial data, Social Security Numbers, National Insurance numbers, government-issued ID numbers.

Access Control. Reputation subscribes to least privilege access as a part of our access control and conducts quarterly audits of our accounts to validate this control. Physical access to Reputation locations is controlled by card access readers, monitored by security cameras and all guest access is logged and monitored.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery. The Company has a full Business Continuity Plan as well as a Disaster Recovery Plan. The Company maintains separate regions in our public cloud that are used for the purpose of disaster recovery with a full synchronization of platform data baked in. In addition, the Company maintains separate instances of our proprietary Platform in the United States and the European Union to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’). With this separation, no personal data will ever leave the geographical region a customer has been assigned.

Threat Protection. The Company deploys the latest in threat detection/threat protection and monitors its infrastructure and application on a continuous basis for anomalous behavior and attacks. Additionally, the Company has built security into the SDLC and perform Application Security Testing on its code.

Security Breach Reporting. The Company has a formal Incident Response Plan which is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis. The Company has a process in place to quickly notify Customer of any security incidents involving personal data when a material incident is confirmed. The Company will provide Customer with reasonable assistance necessary to help meet GDPR obligations.

Security Awareness Training. All employees undergo training on security in the workplace as well as HIPAA training. Awareness education on security and data privacy topics are provided to employees on an ongoing basis. Employees must also renew the completion of Security Awareness training modules annually as well as adhere to our information security policies including our Information Security Policy as well as our Data Security Policy and Customer Confidentiality Policy.

Background Checks. All offers of employment at Reputation are contingent on the completion of a background screening and reference check. Employees and contractors must sign a confidentiality agreement and an agreement to abide by Company security policies and procedures.

Customer Personal Data Deletion Practices. Customer’s personal data is securely stored in the Platform only. Customer’s personal data is stored only for the duration of the Customer’s engagement with the Company. The Company permanently and securely deletes all customer’s personal data in the possession or control of Company or any of its sub-processors, provided that Company has no legal obligation to maintain that data, within 90 days after (i) Company ceases to provide the services to Customer or (ii) the Customer has instructed the Company to delete any customer’s personal data. Company shall also procure that its sub-Processors do likewise.
