3. Security Incidents

  1. Procedure. If Evisort becomes aware of confirmed unauthorized or unlawful access to any Customer Content processed by Evisort Information Systems (a “Security Incident”), Evisort will promptly (a) notify Customer of the Security incident; and (b) take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects and to minimize any damage resulting from the Security Incident.
  2. Unsuccessful Attempts. An unsuccessful attack or intrusion is not a Security Incident subject to this Section 3. An “unsuccessful attack or intrusion” is one that does not result in unauthorized or unlawful access to Customer Content and may include, without limitation, pings and other broadcast attacks on firewalls or edge servers, port scans, unsuccessful log-on attempts, denial of service attacks, packet sniffing (or other unauthorized access to traffic data that does not result in access beyond IP addresses or TCP/UDP headers), or similar incidents.
  3. User Involvement. Unauthorized or unlawful access to Customer Content that results from the compromise of a User’s login credentials or from the intentional or inadvertent disclosure of Customer Content by a User is not a Security Incident.
  4. Notifications. Notification(s) of Security Incidents, if any, will be delivered to one or more of Customer’s Admin users by any reasonable means Evisort selects, including email, as time is typically of the essence. Customers are solely responsible for maintaining accurate contact information in the online Service at all times.
  5. Disclaimer. Evisort’s obligation to report or respond to a Security Incident under this Section 3 is not an acknowledgement by Evisort of any fault or liability of Evisort with respect to the Security Incident.

4. Auditing and Reporting

  1. Monitoring. Evisort monitors the effectiveness of its information security program on an ongoing basis by conducting various audits, risk assessments, and other monitoring activities to ensure the effectiveness of its security measures and controls.
  2. Audit Reports. Evisort uses external auditors to verify the adequacy of its security measures and controls for certain Services, including the Services provided under the Agreement. The resulting audit will: (a) include testing of the entire measurement period since the previous measurement period ended; (b) be performed according to AICPA SOC2 standards or such other alternative standards that are substantially equivalent to AICPA SOC2; (c) be performed by independent third party security professionals at Evisort’s selection and expense; and (d) result in the generation of a SOC2 or SOC3 report (“Audit Report”), which will be Evisort’s Confidential Information. The Audit Report will be made available to Customer upon written request no more than annually, subject to the confidentiality obligations of the Agreement or a mutually-agreed non-disclosure agreement. Customer may also request a SOC 3 report, which, if available from Evisort, will not be subject to such confidentiality obligations but shall attest to the external auditor’s verification and findings. For the avoidance of doubt, each Audit Report will only discuss Services in existence at the time the Audit Report was issued; subsequently released Services, if within the scope of the Audit Report, will be in the next annual iteration of the Audit Report.
  3. Penetration Testing. Evisort uses external security experts to conduct penetration testing of certain online Services, including the Services. Such testing will: (a) be performed at least annually; (b) be performed by independent third party security professionals at Evisort’s selection and expense; and (c) result in the generation of a penetration test report (“Pen Test Report”), which will be Evisort’s Confidential Information. Pen Test Summary Reports or attestation letters attesting to the same will be made available to Customer upon written request no more than annually subject to the confidentiality obligations of the Agreement or a mutually-agreed non-disclosure agreement.
  4. Worldwide Bug Bounty Program. Evisort shall maintain a bug bounty program to proactively detect bugs and vulnerabilities on a proactive basis. The program will operate such that external security experts shall have access to a production-like version of the software by which the Services are provided, with such experts incentivized and rewarded for finding vulnerabilities with monetary rewards. This program will be run on a continuous basis with rewards available at all time to the security experts participating in the program.
