Confidentiality

We place strict controls over our employees’ access to the data you and your users make available via the EveryMundo services and are committed to ensuring that Customer Data is not seen by anyone who should not have access to it. The operation of the EveryMundo services requires that some employees have access to the systems which store and process Customer Data. For example, in order to diagnose a problem you are having with the EveryMundo services, we may need to access your Customer Data. These employees are prohibited from using these permissions to view Customer Data unless it is necessary to do so.

All of our employees and contract personnel are bound to our policies regarding Customer Data and we treat these issues as matters of the highest importance within our company.

Personnel Practices

EveryMundo conducts background checks on all employees before employment, and employees receive privacy and security training during on boarding as well as on an ongoing basis. All employees are required to read and sign our comprehensive information security policy covering the security, availability, and confidentiality of the EveryMundo services.

Compliance

The environment that hosts the EveryMundo services maintains multiple certifications for its data centers, including ISO 27001 compliance, PCI Certification, and SOC reports. For more information about their certification and compliance, please visit the AWS Security website and the AWS Compliance website.

Security Features for Team Members & Administrators

Access

Administrators can terminate all user access to EveryMundo services and tools used at any time, on-demand. Employees are required to use two-factor authentication to access certain services.

Data Retention

Customers can request retention policies. Setting a custom duration for retention means that messages or files older than the duration you set will be deleted on a nightly basis.

Deletion of Customer Data

Customers can request to delete Customer Data from currently-running production systems.

Return of Customer Data

Customers can request an export of Customer Data. Information about the export capabilities within EveryMundo’s CMS can be found in our CMS Documentation.

Data Encryption In Transit and At Rest

The EveryMundo services support the latest recommended secure cipher suites and protocols to encrypt all traffic in transit. Customer Data is encrypted at rest.

We monitor the changing cryptographic landscape closely and work promptly to upgrade the service to respond to new cryptographic weaknesses as they are discovered and implement best practices as they evolve. For encryption in transit, we do this while also balancing the need for compatibility for older clients.

Availability

We understand that you rely on the EveryMundo services to work. We’re committed to making EveryMundo a highly-available service that you can count on. Our infrastructure runs on systems that are fault tolerant, for failures of individual servers or even entire data centers. Our operations team tests disaster-recovery measures regularly and staffs an around-the-clock on-call team to quickly resolve unexpected incidents.

Disaster Recovery

Customer Data is stored redundantly at multiple locations in our hosting provider’s data centers to ensure availability. We have well-tested backup and restoration procedures, which allow recovery from a major disaster. Customer Data and our source code are automatically backed up nightly. The Operations team is alerted in case of a failure with this system. Backups are fully tested at least every 90 days to confirm that our processes and tools work as expected.

Network Protection

In addition to sophisticated system monitoring and logging, we have implemented two-factor authentication for all server access across our production environment. Firewalls are configured according to industry best practices and unnecessary ports are blocked by configuration with AWS Security Groups.

Host Management

We perform automated vulnerability scans on our production hosts and remediate any findings that present a risk to our environment. We enforce screens lockouts and the usage of full disk encryption for company laptops.

Logging

EveryMundo maintains an extensive, centralized logging environment in its production environment which contains information pertaining to security, monitoring, availability, access, and other metrics about the EveryMundo services. These logs are analyzed for security events via automated monitoring software, overseen by the security team.

New features, functionality, and design changes go through a security review process facilitated by the security team. In addition, our code is audited with automated static analysis software, tested, and manually peer-reviewed prior to being deployed to production. The security team works closely with development teams to resolve any additional security concerns that may arise during development.

Incident Management & Response

In the event of a security breach, EveryMundo will promptly notify our Customer of any unauthorized access to their Customer Data. EveryMundo has incident management policies and procedures in place to handle such an event.
