    5. The minimum organisational security measures that Processor must implement and ensure compliance with them are the following:

      Security Management

      1. Security policy. Processor must define its data security policy and revise it, if necessary, annually;
      2. Roles and responsibilities. Roles and responsibilities related to the processing of personal data must be clearly defined and allocated in accordance with the security policy. During internal re-organizations or terminations and change of employment, revocation of rights and responsibilities with respective hand over procedures should be clearly defined;
      3. Access control. Specific access control rights should be allocated to each role (involved in the processing of personal data) following the need to know principle;
      4. Resource/asset management. Processor must have a register of the IT resources used for the processing of personal data (hardware, software, and network). The register shall include at least the following information: IT resource, type (e.g. server, workstation), location (physical or electronic). A specific person should be assigned the task of maintaining and updating the register (e.g. IT officer). IT resources must be reviewed and updated on a regular basis.
      5. Change management. Processor must ensure that all changes to the IT system are registered and monitored by a specific person (e.g. IT or security officer). This process must be regularly monitored. Software development should be performed in a special environment that is not connected to the IT system used for the processing of personal data. When testing is needed, dummy data should be used (not real data). In cases that this is not possible, specific procedures should be in place for the protection of personal data used in testing.
      6. Data sub-processors. When the processor uses other data processors, he must have established and documented guidelines and procedures governing the processing of data by other data processors which would apply to data processors. These guidelines and procedures should mandatorily establish the same level of personal data security as mandated in the Processor’s security policy. Processor must require other data processors to immediately notify Processor about personal data breaches, as well as provide evidence of the implementation of appropriate security measures.
      7. Incident response and business continuity

      8. Personal data breaches. Processor must have an incident response plan with detailed procedures defined to ensure effective and orderly response to incidents pertaining personal data. Management must be immediately informed about the personal data breach as well as there must be an established procedure to inform Controller about the incident.
      9. Business continuity. Processor must establish the main procedures and controls to be followed in order to ensure the required level of continuity and availability of the IT system processing personal data (in the event of an incident/personal data breach).
      10. Human Resources

      11. Confidentiality obligations. Processor must ensure that all employees understand their responsibilities and obligations related to the processing of personal data. Roles and responsibilities should be clearly communicated during the pre-employment and/or induction process.
      12. Training. Processor must ensure that all employees are adequately informed about the security controls of the IT system that relate to their everyday work. Employees involved in the processing of personal data should also be properly informed about relevant data protection requirements and legal obligations through regular awareness campaigns.
    6. The minimum technical security measures that Processor must implement and ensure compliance with them are the following:
      1. Access control and authentication. Processor must install an access control system applicable to all users accessing the IT system must be implemented. The system must allow creating, approving, reviewing and deleting user accounts. The use of common user accounts must be avoided. In cases where this is necessary, it should be ensured that all users of the common account have the same roles and responsibilities. An authentication mechanism must be installed allowing access to the IT system (based on the access control policy and system). As a minimum a username/password combination must be used. Passwords should respect a certain (configurable) level of complexity. The access control system must have the ability to detect and not allow the usage of passwords that don’t respect a certain (configurable) level of complexity.
      2. Logging and monitoring. Log files must be activated for each system/application used for the processing of personal data. They should include all types of access to data (view, modification, deletion). Log files must be timestamped and adequately protected against tampering and unauthorized access. Clocks must be synchronised to a single reference time source.
      3. Security of data at rest. Database and applications servers must be configured to run using a separate account, with minimum OS privileges to function correctly. Database and applications servers must only process the personal data that are actually needed to process in order to achieve its processing purposes.
      4. Workstation security. Users must not be able to deactivate or bypass security settings in computer workstations. Anti-virus applications and detection signatures must be configured on a weekly basis. Users must not have privileges to install or deactivate unauthorized software applications. The system should have session time-outs when the user has not been active for a certain time period. Critical security updates released by the operating system developer must be installed regularly.
      5. Networks and communications security. Whenever access is performed through the Internet, communication must be encrypted through cryptographic protocols (TLS/SSL).
      6. Backups. Backup and data restore procedures must be defined, documented and clearly linked to roles and responsibilities. Backups must be given an appropriate level of physical and environmental protection consistent with the standards applied on the originating data. Execution of backups must be monitored to ensure completeness. Full backups must be carried out regularly.
      7. Application lifecycle security. During the development lifecycle best practises, state of the art and well acknowledged secure development practices, frameworks or standards must be followed. Specific security requirements must be defined during the early stages of the development lifecycle. Specific technologies and techniques designed for supporting privacy and data protection (also referred to as Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)) should be adopted in analogy to the security requirements. Secure coding standards and practises must be followed. During the development, testing and validation against the implementation of the initial security requirements must be performed.
      8. Data deletion/disposal. Software-based overwriting must be performed on all media prior to their disposal. In cases where this is not possible (CD’s, DVD’s, etc.) physical destruction should be performed. Shredding of paper and portable media used to store personal data shall be carried out.
      9. Physical security. The physical perimeter of the IT system infrastructure must not be accessible by non-authorized personnel.
    7. Processor must always take into account the risks that are presented by particular processing operations, and Processor must choose and implement stricter security measures in order to ensure the proper level of security of personal data.
