1 Purpose
Information security and privacy are important to us and are central to our success. Our Information Security Management and its goals are, therefore, aligned to our business objectives and strategy.
This top-level policy aims to define the purpose, direction, principles, and basic rules for Information Security Management and to establish a general approach to information security.
This document is the external version of our Information security policy to be shared with customers, suppliers, partners, and other stakeholders. That way, we can keep our Information Management System producing the desired output. Nuuka is keen to ensure that all users – within Nuuka or not - understand their responsibilities for protecting the confidentiality and integrity of the data that they handle.
2 Key points in the information security policy
We require NDA from customers, suppliers, and partners before discussing any business-critical information, after conducting a background check on them. We expect them to handle NDA for their personnel and partners, as well as comply to GDPR and other legal requirements.
We have a process to manage and limit the access only to systems needed by suppliers and customers. We categorize data based on whom it can be communicated.
We expect our partners, customers, and suppliers to promptly inform us on any changes on services or use of Nuuka software that may impact security and privacy of the services in question, and we may require to conduct a review of their potential impact to Nuuka information security. Also, we may time-to-time review contracts and policies and update them.
We require strong passwords, non-shared passwords, non-write-down passwords, anti-virus protection, and authorization to systems on a need basis only. We require clean desk and screen policy. In addition, we require appropriate locking and handing the mobile devices. Finally, we demand the use of a VPN, when accessing internet with company devices, outside of our offices. For sake of clarity, these requirements apply to partners and suppliers having any access to Nuuka IT systems.
All information security incidents need to be reported immediately to Information Security Officer and CEO. This includes compromised computing resources, information gathering attempts, Availability (DDos etc.), malicious code, and any other security incidents that compromise security, integrity or availability of the data.
