The Processor shall establish the security in accordance with art. 28 para. 3 point c, and art. 32 GDPR in particular in conjunction with art. 5 para. 1, 2 GDPR. The measures to be taken are measures of data security and measures that guarantee a protection level appropriate to the risk concerning confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of the systems. The state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope and purposes of processing as well as the probability of occurrence and the severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons within the meaning of art. 32 para. 1 GDPR must be taken into account. 6.3. The technical and organizational measures are subject to technical progress and further development. In this respect, it is permissible for the Processor to implement alternative adequate measures.

The technical and organizational measures to adequately protect the Controller’s data include: a) Confidentiality (art. 32 para. 1 point b GDPR) · Physical access control: The prevention of unauthorized parties gaining access to personal data processing systems. These measures include an electronic access control system with protocols, a documented key allocation to employees and colocation-customers for colocation racks, video surveillance of the entrances and exits and a 24/7 occupancy of the computer center at the subcontractor’s premises (LeaseWeb). In addition, there are guidelines on how to accompany and identify guests in the building. · Logical access control: Measures that prevent the unauthorized use of the data processing systems. A password protected access is used that only authorized personnel can use. · Data access control: Measures that ensure that people entitled to use the data processing systems can solely access data that they are entitled to access in accordance with their access rights, and that during the course of processing, use and after storage, personal data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization. Audit-proof and binding authorization procedures have been implemented for the authorized employees. · Separation control: Measures that ensure that data that was collected for different purposes can be processed separately. The data is physically or logically stored separately from other data and the data backups are made on systems that are logically and/or physically separate. · Pseudonymisation (art. 32 para. 1 point a GDPR; art. 25 para. 1 GDPR) The processing of personal data in such a method/way, that the data cannot be associated with a specific data subject without the assistance of additional Information, provided that this additional information is stored separately, and is subject to appropriate technical and organisational measures. b) Integrity (art. 32 para. 1 point b GDPR) · Data transfer control: Measures that ensure that during electronic transmission, transport or storage on data carriers personal data cannot be read, copied, modified or deleted without authorization, and that it can be established and verified to which entities a transfer of personal data by means of data transmission facilities is planned. All employees have undertaken to comply with the principle of data secrecy and there are capacities for encrypted data transmissions. Furthermore, the data is deleted in accordance with data protection laws after the end of the commission. · Entry control: Measures that ensure the establishment of an audit trail to document whether and by whom personal data have been entered into, modified in or removed from the data processing systems. c) Availability and Resilience (art. 32 para. 1 point b GDPR) · Availability control: Measures that ensure that personal data are protected against accidental destruction or loss. Backup and recovery procedures with a daily mirroring of the data have been implemented. The technical availability is ensured by hard disk mirroring. In addition, there is uninterruptible power supply and a firewall system as well as port regulations are in place. · Rapid Recovery (art. 32 para. 1 point c GDPR) Processor creates continuous backups, which are also continuously transferred to a remote site. With this back-up, Processor can restore data. There is a regular check to see if recovery works this way. d) Procedures for regular testing, assessment and evaluation (art. 32 para. 1 point d GDPR; art. 25 para. 1 GDPR) · Data protection management: All employees are demonstrably committed to data secrecy and receive a training at least once a year.
