We understand the services we provide are mission critical to our customers and therefore have very little tolerance for service disruptions. Our timeframes for recovery are designed to ensure we can meet our obligations to all of our customers.

Procédures permettant de tester, d'évaluer et d'apprécier régulièrement l'efficacité des mesures techniques et organisationnelles afin d'assurer la sécurité du traitement.: the goal of information security and our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information to the organisation, employees, partners, customers and the (authorised) information systems, and to minimise the risk of damage occurring by preventing security incidents and managing security threats and vulnerabilities. Our Mentions légales team, Data Protection Officer, and Security Team make sure that applicable regulations and standards are factored into our security frameworks.

Mesures d'identification et d'autorisation des utilisateurs: we follow principles of “need to know“ and “least privilege”. We promote the use of role based access control. Provisioning and deprovisioning is overseen by the security team, with Single-Sign-On and 2FA by default. Owners have been defined for each information asset who are responsible for ensuring access to their systems are appropriate and reviewed on a regular basis. Whenever dealing with sensitive information or taking critical action, we use the four-eyes principle.

Mesures visant à garantir l'enregistrement des événements: audit logs are centrally stored and monitored on a regular basis for security events and are kept secure to avoid risk of tampering. The Incident Management Policy enforces the incident response plan and its procedures. These guidelines are being followed if any type of security or technical incident occurs.

Mesures visant à garantir la configuration des systèmes, y compris la configuration par défaut: we follow a consistent change management process for all the changes to the production environment of the Communication Platform as a Service. To elaborate further, all requests for changes (RFC) need to be approved by a designated party and executed according to the formal change control process. The control process ensures that changes proposed are reviewed, authorised, tested, implemented, and released in a controlled manner; and that the status of each proposed change is monitored. Configuration baselines are followed to securely configure the systems by following best-practices. Also, within the Engineering department, a tech radar is used to define which technologies (languages, platform tools, databases and data management tools) can be adopted or need to be avoided during development.

Mesures de sécurité physique: we actively promote a “Work from Anywhere” policy so our employees are free to work from any place they want. However, we still have our office premises. We have no secure areas/data centre on our premises as we are a completely cloud-based company. Our office floors are protected by physical access controls, CCTV, and manned security.

Mesures relatives à la gouvernance et à la gestion internes de l'informatique et de la sécurité informatique: we maintain a risk-based assessment security program, which includes administrative, organisational, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Services and confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Customer Data. Our information security program is set up in a systematic and well organised way. In addition, legal and regulatory requirements apply to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information to the organisation, employees, partners and customers. All these are translated into our information security policies, procedures and guidelines. We have a Security Steering Committee which is responsible for the tactical level of information security. This entails the coordination of information security activities and the translation of strategic activities to operational activities for our security, and our continuous maintenance of regulatory compliance. All employees are responsible for safeguarding company assets. All our employees are screened for expertise, experience, and integrity. Employees are informed about security and data protection au on-boarding stage, as well as by way of regular team-specific training, and other company-wide all-hands presentations about the importance of data protection and security compliance. We are ISO 27001 certified, the globally recognised information security standards for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). 

  • All our hosting providers are ISO 27001 certified. 

  • We are also registered with the Dutch Authority for Consumers and Markets. This means we’re always accountable and fully transparent with our clients. 

  • We are an Associate Member of the Groupe Speciale Mobile Association (GSMA). The GSMA represents the interests of mobile operators across the globe. 

  • Nous sommes toujours au fait de toutes les lois et réglementations applicables, y compris le règlement général sur la protection des données et le cadre de protection des données UE-États-Unis.

Mesures de certification/assurance des processus et des produits: we undergo rigorous surveillance as well as certification audits as part of our ISO/IEC 27001 compliance, and regularly execute application vulnerability and penetration testing. 

Mesures visant à garantir l'obligation de rendre compte: we implement information security and data protection policies in accordance with applicable laws and publish an overview of our ISMS relevant information (link). We have appointed a dedicated Director of Security, Information Security Officer, Compliance Officer, and Data Protection Officer, and maintain documentation of our processing activities, including recording and reporting security incidents involving Personal Data where applicable. 

Mesures visant à garantir l'effacement des données: we ensure data erasure through an automated deletion process within our communication and infrastructure environment. This data deletion process ensures that all data that are no longer needed to fulfil a specific purpose are removed from our systems after processing.
