Personal data is transmitted via HTTPS / TLS and information is encrypted at rest. Personal data is only stored and processed which is provided by the Client.
 
Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services:

The production environment is hosted within AWS and has industry best practices implemented for the security, integrity and availability of information. Workcast has designed the platform to ensure that it is fully resilient and that the security of information is secured under various levels of security. Least privilege access is enforced and only authorised personnel are allowed access to the data. Backups and recovery processes are in place should a failure occur. Customer data is kept in separate spaces from other Clients and is secured to ensure that the Client can not see other Client data. 

Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident:

All critical infrastructure is located within Amazon AWS and fault tolerance has been built into the system to allow for failure. Backups are performed and stored within Amazon S3. Due to the nature of the platform and deployment processes, DR is tested constantly.
 
Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing:

Workcast undergo an annual penetration test which is undertaken by an external third-party. Any findings are risk addressed and then remediated accordingly, through change control and testing. Additionally Amazon AWS also undergoes several security tests a year, ensuring that the infrastructure is as secure as possible. All new code amendments are run through an independant code security vulnerabilities checker.
 
Measures for user identification and authorisation:

The Workcast platform requires authentication and for all user accounts to be valid and active. All information within the platform requires authenticated access to process any information.

Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration:

Change control and security by design is implemented throughout the environment. Changes are performed in development, then tested in a Quality Assurance environment before being implemented in production. This helps to ensure that consistency and system configurations remain intact.
 
Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management:

We adhere to and are certified to ISO27001 security standards, including the use of least privilege access and secure coding by design.
