Security measures for Learn Amp platform and services 

This document describes technical and organizational security measures and controls implemented by Learn Amp to protect Personal Data and ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity and availability of Learn Amp Services. 

Learn Amp may change these measures from time to time. This may mean that individual measures are replaced by new measures that serve the same purpose or deal with the same risks without materially diminishing the security level. In the unlikely event that Learn Amp does materially reduce its security, Learn Amp shall formally notify Customers.

1. Organisation of Information Security

Objective

All Learn Amp are responsible for implementing security measures, supported by business leadership and Learn Amp ensures that its Personnel are competent in information security. 

Measures include:

  1. Learn Amp has a comprehensive set of information security policies, approved by senior management and disseminated to all Personnel.
  2. Learn Amp security policies are reviewed at least annually and updated when needed.
  3. All Learn Amp Personnel have signed legally reviewed confidentiality agreements that apply during and post-engagement.
  4. Failure of Personnel to follow information security policies can be treated as a disciplinary matter and lead to sanctions, including dismissal.
  5. All Learn Amp Personnel are given training in information security and must take and pass a test on information security at least annually.
  6. Information security is a basic design and architectural principle for the Learn Amp platform
  7.  Learn Amp is committed to continual improvement of its security. 
  8. Continuous, around-the-clock SIEM Monitoring is implemented to oversee system access, data access and data transmission activities every day throughout the year.

2. Physical Access

Objective

Physical access to Personal Data is protected.

Measures include:

  1. Learn Amp run their platform from an ISO 27001 certified, professional, third-party production data centre with a defined and protected physical perimeter, strong physical controls including access control mechanisms, controlled delivery and loading areas, surveillance and 24x7x365 guards. Only authorized representatives have access to the data centre premises (double authentication no fewer than 3 times).
  2. Climate control is required to maintain a constant operating temperature for servers and other hardware, which prevents overheating and reduces the possibility of service outages. Data centres are conditioned to maintain atmospheric conditions at optimal levels. Monitoring systems and data centre personnel ensure temperature and humidity are at the appropriate levels.
  3. Automatic fire detection and suppression equipment has been installed to reduce risk. The fire detection system utilizes smoke detection sensors in all data centre environments, mechanical and electrical infrastructure spaces, chiller rooms and generator equipment rooms. These areas are protected by either wet-pipe, double-interlocked pre-action, or gaseous sprinkler systems
  4. The data centre electrical power systems are designed to be fully redundant and maintainable without impact to operations, 24 hours a day, and seven days a week. Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units provide back-up power in the event of an electrical failure for critical and essential loads in the facility. Data centres use generators to provide backup power for the entire facility.
  5. When Personal Data is transferred electronically by Learn Amp, appropriate physical security is maintained and the data is Strongly Encrypted at all times.

 

3. System Access

Objective

Learn Amp data processing systems are used only by approved, authenticated users.

Measures include:

  1. Access to Learn Amps internal systems is granted only to Learn Amps Personnel and/or to permitted employees of Learn Amp subcontractors and access is strictly limited as required for those persons to fulfil their function.
  2. All users access Learn Amp systems with a unique identifier (user ID)
  3. Learn Amp has established a password policy that prohibits the sharing of passwords and requires passwords to be changed on a regular basis and default passwords to be altered. All passwords must fulfil defined minimum requirements and are stored in encrypted form. Each computer has a password-protected screensaver
  4. A second factor of authentication is required for access to online systems containing Personal Data
  5. Learn Amp has a thorough procedure to deactivate users and their access when a user leaves the company or a function.
  6. Continuous, around-the-clock SIEM Monitoring is implemented to oversee system access activities every day throughout the year.

 

4. Data Access

Objective

Persons entitled to use data processing systems gain access only to the Personal Data that they are authorised to access. 

Measures include:

  1. Learn Amp restricts Personnel access to files and programs on a "need-to-know” basis
  2. Personnel training covers access rights to and general guidelines on definition and use of Personal Data.
  3. Where appropriate and practical, Learn Amp employs data minimisation and pseudonymisation to reduce the likelihood of inappropriate access to Personal Data. 
  4. Continuous, around-the-clock SIEM Monitoring is implemented to oversee data access activities every day throughout the year.
