Version
Appendix 2: Technology Platform, Security and Compliance
Dinova provides the following specifications in relation to the technological platform adopted for the Interacta Services and the operational information.
- Cloud Services Platform
Interacta is implemented and provided in SAAS mode through Google Cloud Platform, of which Dinova is a Premier Partner and certified reseller.
Google Cloud Platform was selected based on its availability of best-in-class features, technologies, and industry-leading security and compliance assurances:
- Security and Reliability Overview: https://cloud.google.com/security
- “Secure by design” infrastructure: https://cloud.google.com/security/infrastructure
- Security Whitepaper: https://cloud.google.com/docs/security/overview/whitepaper
- Compliance and certifications (including: ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27701, SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, PCI DSS, CSA STAR): https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance
- Google Cloud Platform Data Processing and Security Terms: https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-addendum
- Operational safety
2.1 Vulnerability Management. Dinova has implemented policies and procedures to ensure the security of customer data and the guarantee of availability. The Interacta team continuously assesses security threats and implements updated countermeasures to prevent unauthorized access and unavailability of the service, leveraging Google Cloud Platform solutions for specific vulnerability monitoring, including viruses, malware, other, identification, mitigation and removal. In the event of security incidents, including data breaches, the Interacta technical team has a dedicated corporate operating procedure for management, which identifies actions, flows, roles and responsibilities. The Interacta technical team is trained and updated periodically with specific reference to incident management. Access to Interacta production instances is allowed only to authorized members of the Dinova Interacta technical team.
2.2 Access Security. User authentication to the application is verified on the server side. If requested by the customer, authentication is delegated via the OAuth 2.0 protocol to Google or Microsoft 365 identity credentials, without having to provide Interacta with a username and password. The mobile application uses the same authentication system as the web application and the same RESTfull API and service environment exposed by the backend instance with encrypted calls via HTTPS protocol.
2.3 Perimeter Security. Interacta implements a Web Application Firewall (WAF) belonging to Google Cloud Platform services, responsible for protecting the customer's production application instances and monitoring HTTP traffic. The managed rules – reclassified as follows – reflect the standards proposed by the OWASP Top 10 web application security risks publications. Expression: Network scanning, SQL injection, remote file inclusion, local file inclusion, protocol attack, CVE exploit (e.g. Log4j).
2.4 Security of subcontractors. Before proceeding with the adoption of subcontractors for the implementation, supply or management of the Interacta solution, Dinova carries out an assessment of the security and privacy conditions proposed and managed by the subcontractors, verifying that they are strictly aligned with the security and privacy standards expected for Interacta.
- Data Management
3.1 Backup Policies. Interacta operates with a specific and dedicated instance for each customer, with automatic data backup policies implemented.
- The backup starts during the backup window when the instance is least active.
- Binary and incremental backups.
- Backups performed in “multi-regional” mode, ensuring data localization across different Google Cloud Platform data centers.
- RPO: 24 hours. RTO: Next business day.
- Backup retention: 14 days.
- Any restore operation overwrites all data on the target instance. The target instance is unavailable for connections (users, third-party systems) during the restore operation.
3.2 Data Encryption. The data is broken into sub-blocks for storage and each individual block is encrypted at the storage level with an individual encryption key. All calls are encrypted using HTTPS protocol.
- Data encryption at rest (default mode), Google Cloud Platform standard: https://cloud.google.com/docs/security/encryption/default-encryption
- Encryption of data in transit (default mode), Google Cloud Platform standard: https://cloud.google.com/docs/security/encryption-in-transit
3.3 Data Location. By default, Interacta instances (application and data) are created and operated on Google Cloud Platform services located in the EEA.
3.4 Data integrity. An internal operating procedure helps protect the integrity of customer data by adopting the following measures: access to data only to specifically authorized users; data validation at two levels (frontend and backend) to ensure its correctness both during collection and use; data backup procedures; management of application logs to track any additions, changes or deletions; management of periodic internal audits; use of dedicated error detection software.
- Data access and restrictions
4.1 Administrative Access (Dinova). To maintain data confidentiality and security, Dinova isolates each customer's data, which can only be accessed by a select group of Dinova employees. For Dinova employees, rights and levels of data access are based on function and job role, using the concepts of “least privilege” and “need to know” to match access privileges to defined responsibilities. Support services are provided only to authorized customer administrators whose identities have been verified.
4.2 Administrative Access (Customer). In customer organizations, Interacta administrative roles and privileges are configured and controlled by the customer. This means that individual customer users can manage certain services or perform specific administrative functions without having access to all settings and data.
4.3 User Access. Within customer organizations, Interacta user roles and privileges are configured and controlled by the customer. This means that individual customer users can manage certain services or perform specific operational functions without having access to all settings and data.
4.4 Legal Data Requests. The customer, as the data owner, is primarily responsible for responding to any data requests from government authorities and agencies. However, like other technology and communications companies, Dinova may receive direct requests from governments and courts about how an individual has used Dinova’s solutions. Dinova takes steps to protect customer privacy and limit such requests in accordance with legal obligations. If Dinova receives such requests, it will review them to ensure they comply with legal requirements and Dinova’s policies. Dinova’s policy is to notify customers of data requests unless otherwise expressly prohibited by regulation or court order.
Appendix 3: Support
Dinova has a dedicated customer support service for Interacta. Through the support service, the customer can send us reports of anomalies and suggestions for improvement.
All reports and proposals will be assigned a priority ticket based on severity (for anomalies) and relevance (for improvements), with the understanding that any inclusion of improvements in the product roadmap will remain at the sole discretion of Dinova.
Dinova is constantly committed to releasing the product patches necessary to resolve the anomalies verified, in order to maintain the application's operability over time for the features and utilities provided for by the contract.
