Data Breach Notification and Reporting Policy

The GDPR mandates notification requirements for data controllers and processors in the event of a breach of personal data. The information below discusses those provisions, how Spektra Systems tries to prevent breaches in the first place, how Spektra Systems detects a breach, and how Spektra Systems will respond in the event of breach and notify you as a data controller.

In the event of a breach of personal data that is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals (such as discrimination, identity theft, fraud, financial loss, or damage to their reputation), the GDPR requires Spektra Systems to adhere to the policy and processes mentioned in next section

Responsibilities as a Data Controller

  • Notify the appropriate Data Protection Authority (DPA) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it—for example, after Spektra Systems notifies Data Subject. If Spektra Systems don’t notify the DPA within that time period, Spektra Systems shall need to explain why to the DPA. This notice to the DPA is required even where there is a risk to individuals that is not likely to result in a high risk.
  • Notify the data subjects of the breach without undue delay.
  • Document the breach including a description of the nature of the breach—such as how many people were impacted, the number of data records affected, the consequences of the breach, and any remedial action your organization is proposing or took.

Responsibilities as a Data Processor

After we become aware of a personal data breach, the GDPR requires us to notify you without undue delay. Where Spektra Systems is a processor our obligations reflect both GDPR requirements and our standard, worldwide contractual provisions. We consider that all confirmed personal data breaches are in scope; there is no risk of harm threshold. We will notify our customers whether the data breach was suffered by Spektra Systems directly or by any of our sub-processors. We have processes in place to quickly identify and contact security incident personnel you’ve identified in your organization. In addition, all sub-processors are contractually obliged to report their own breaches to Spektra Systems and provide guarantees to that effect.

Definition of Data Breach under GDPR

Personal data means any information related to an individual that can be used to identify them directly or indirectly. A personal data breach is “a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.”

Detection of Data Breach

All our services and personnel follow internal incident management procedures to ensure that we take proper precautions to avoid data breaches in the first place. However, in addition, Online Services have specific security controls in place across our platforms to detect data breaches in the rare event that they occur.

Response to Data breach

To support you in the event of a breach of personal data Spektra Systems has:

  • Security personnel trained on the specific procedures to follow.
  • Has policies, procedures, and controls in place to ensure that Spektra Systems maintains detailed records. This includes documentation that captures the facts of the incident, its effects, and remedial action, as well as tracking and storing information in our incident management systems.

Data Breach notification to Data Subject

Spektra Systems has policies and procedures in place to notify you promptly. To satisfy your notice requirements to the DPA, we will provide a description of the process we used to determine if a breach of personal data has occurred, a description of the nature of the breach and a description of the measures we took to mitigate the breach.

Spektra Systems investments in data security

In addition to our commitment to provide timely notification of breach, Spektra Systems strongly invests in systems, processes, and personnel to reduce the likelihood of personal data breach and to quickly detect and mitigate consequence of breach if it does occur.

Here is a description of some of our investments in this space:

  • Access Control Systems. Spektra Systems maintains a “zero-standing access” policy, which means that engineers do not have access to the service unless it is explicitly granted in response to a specific incident that requires elevation of access. Whenever access is granted it is done under the principle of least privilege: permission granted for a specific request only allows for a minimal set of actions required to service that request. To do this, Spektra Systems maintains strict separation between “elevation roles”, with each role only allowing certain pre-defined actions to be taken. The “Access to Customer Data” role is distinct from other roles that are more commonly used to administer the service and is scrutinized most heavily before approval. Taken together, these investments in access control greatly reduce the likelihood that an engineer in Spektra Systems inappropriately accesses customer data.
  • Security Monitoring Systems and Automation: Spektra Systems maintains robust, real-time security monitoring systems. Among other issues, these systems raise alerts for attempts to illicitly access customer data, or for attempts to illicitly transfer data out of our service. Related to the points about access control mentioned above, our security monitoring systems maintain detailed records of elevation requests that are made, and the actions taken for a given elevation request. Spektra Systems also maintains automatic resolution investments that automatically act to mitigate threats in response to issues we detect, and dedicated teams for responding to alerts that cannot be resolved automatically. To validate our security monitoring systems, These exercises lead to regular improvements to our security monitoring and response capabilities.
  • Personnel and Processes: In addition to the automation described above, Spektra Systems maintains processes and teams responsible for both educating the broader organization about privacy and incident management processes, and for executing those processes during a breach. For example, a detailed privacy breach Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is maintained and shared with teams throughout the organization. This SOP describes in detail the roles and responsibilities both of individual teams within Spektra Systems and centralized security incident response teams. These span both what teams need to do to improve their own security posture (conduct security reviews, integrate with central security monitoring systems, and other best practices), and what teams would need to do in the event of an actual breach (rapid escalation to incident response, maintain and provide specific data sources that will be used to expedite the response process). Teams are also regularly trained on data classification, and correct handling and storage procedures for personal data. Spektra Systems directs teams to purge any PII data shared by customer (in error) with permanent deletion of the email communication thread from our systems and report the same.

Contacting Spektra Systems

In some scenarios, a customer may become aware of a breach and may wish to notify Spektra Systems. The current protocol is for customers to notify Spektra Systems Support, which will then interface with engineering teams for more information. In this scenario, Spektra Systems engineering teams are similarly committed to providing the information customers need, through their support contact, in a timely fashion.  Customers need to reach out to Spektra on privacy@spektrasystems.com for any scenario that constitutes to a breach as per this policy. If you believe that Our products have not adhered to this Policy, please contact us electronically legal@spektrasystems.com , and we will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
