5. Subprocessors**.**

a. Checkr may subcontract the collection or other Processing of Customer Data in compliance with Data Privacy Law to provide the Services. Checkr will impose contractual obligations on the Subprocessor that are at least the same level of protection as those imposed on Checkr under this DPA and will remain liable for its Subprocessors’ performance to the same extent Checkr is liable for its own performance, consistent with the limitations of liability set forth herein.

b. If GDPR is applicable to the Services, Checkr shall notify Customer of any changes made to Subprocessors at least 10 days prior to any such change by sending an email to the email address designated by Customer to receive notifications.  Customer may reasonably object to Checkr’s use of a new Subprocessor by notifying Checkr promptly in writing within ten (10) business days after Checkr’s notice is sent pursuant to this DPA.  Customer shall explain its reasonable grounds for objection. In the event Customer objects to a Subprocessor, the parties shall discuss Customer’s concerns in good faith with a view to achieving a commercially reasonable resolution.  If no such resolution can be reached, Checkr will, at its sole discretion, either (i) not appoint the Subprocessor; or (ii) in the event that Checkr cannot provide the services without such objected to Subprocessor, then Checkr will permit Customer to terminate the Services.   Checkr may replace a Subprocessor if the need for the change is urgent and necessary to provide the Services. In such instance, Checkr shall notify Customer of the replacement as soon as reasonably practicable, and Customer shall retain the right to object to the replacement Subprocessor pursuant to this Section.

6. Security.

a. Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Checkr, Checkr shall implement technical and organizational measures, including the measures set forth in Annex II of the Appendix to this DPA, without prejudice to Checkr’s right to make future replacements or updates to the measures that do not lower the level of protection of Customer Data.

b. Security Breach. Checkr shall notify Customer promptly of any Security Breach of Customer Data and provide related information to Customer as set forth by Data Privacy Laws.  Customer shall notify Checkr promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized access to Customer’s systems or compromise of Customer’s credentials used to access the Services. Taking into account the nature of Processing and the information available to Checkr, the parties reasonably shall work together to address any such compromise, including taking steps to mitigate the effects of the Security Breach or system compromise and reduce the risk to Data Subjects whose Personal Data in the Customer Data was involved.  Customer is solely responsible for complying with legal requirements for incident notification applicable to Customer and fulfilling any third-party notification obligations. Nothing shall be construed to require Checkr to violate, or delay compliance with, any legal obligation it may have with respect to a Security Breach or other security incidents generally.

7. Data Transfers.

For transfers of EU Personal Data to Checkr for processing by Checkr in a jurisdiction other than a jurisdiction in the EU, the EEA, or the European Commission-approved countries providing ‘adequate’ data protection, each party agrees it will use Module 2 of the Standard Contractual Clauses for Controller to Processor transfers, which are incorporated herein by reference. The annexes included in the Appendix to this Agreement shall apply as the annexes of the Standard Contractual Clauses.

In case of conflict between the Standard Contractual Clauses and this DPA, the Standard Contractual Clauses will prevail. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the transfers contemplated under this Section 7 result in transfers of UK Personal Data to Checkr for processing by Checkr in a jurisdiction other than in the UK or UK Information Commissioner’s Office-approved countries providing ‘adequate’ data protection, then (a) the Standard Contractual Clauses used for EU Personal Data shall also apply to transfers of UK Personal Data; (b) the UK Addendum shall be deemed executed between Customer and Checkr; and (c) the SCCs between the parties shall be deemed amended as specified in the UK Addendum in respect of the transfer of such UK Personal Data. The UK Information Commissioner is the exclusive Supervisory Authority for the transfers of UK Personal Data under this Agreement.

8. Audits**.**

a. Reasonable Audits. If GDPR is applicable to the Services, Checkr shall allow for and contribute to audits, including inspections, conducted by Customer or another auditor mandated by Customer subject to the following conditions: so long as the Agreement remains in effect and at Customer’s sole expense, Customer may request that Checkr provide it with documentation, data, and records (“Records”) no more than once annually relating to Checkr’s compliance with this DPA with respect to Customer Data (an “Audit”). To the extent Customer uses a third-party representative to conduct the Audit, Customer shall ensure that such third-party representative is bound by obligations of confidentiality no less protective than those contained in this Agreement. Customer shall provide Checkr with fourteen (14) days prior written notice of its intention to conduct an Audit. Customer shall conduct its Audit in a manner that will result in minimal disruption to Checkr’s business operations and shall not be entitled to receive data or information of other clients of Checkr or any other confidential information of Checkr that is not directly relevant for the authorized purposes of the Audit. If any material non-compliance is identified by an Audit, Checkr shall take prompt action to correct such non-compliance. Any information that Customer receives under this Section is Confidential Information of Checkr.

b. Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not grant Customer any right to conduct an on-site audit of Checkr’s premises. Customer shall reimburse Checkr for any time expended for an Audit at the Checkr’s then-current reasonable rates, which shall be made available to Customer upon request. Nothing herein will require Checkr to disclose or make available: (a) any data of any other customer of Checkr; (b) access to systems; (c) Checkr’s internal accounting or financial information; (d) any trade secret of Checkr; (e) any information or access that, in Checkr’s reasonable opinion, could (i) compromise the security of Checkr systems or premises; or (ii) cause Checkr to breach its obligations under applicable law or applicable contracts; or (f) any information sought for any reason other than the good faith fulfilment of Customer’s obligations under Applicable Law to audit compliance under this DPA.

9. Return or Destruction**.** Upon termination of the Services or on reasonable written request from Customer’s authorized representative Checkr shall, at the choice of Customer, return or deletesuch Customer Data in accordance with its requirements under applicable Data Privacy Law, unless applicable law prevents Checkr from returning or deleting all or part of the Customer Data. In such case, Checkr agrees to preserve the confidentiality of the Customer Data retained by it that it will only Process such Customer Data in order to comply with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision will not require Checkr to delete Customer Data from archival and back-up files except as provided by Checkr's internal data deletion practices or as required by applicable law. For avoidance of doubt, Checkr may continue to Process Customer Data that has been anonymized or aggregated in a manner that does not identify individuals.

10. Miscellaneous**.** Nothing in this DPA shall confer any benefits or rights on any person or entity other than the parties to this DPA.The provisions of this DPA shall survive the termination or expiration of the Agreement as long as either party continues to Process Personal Data in connection with the Agreement.

OVERVIEW

Checkr was built with an emphasis on security, compliance and privacy. We work behind the scenes to  protect your data with a secure, distributed infrastructure with multiple layers of protection. Administrators  are empowered with control and visibility features to help effectively manage the security of your  information. This paper will explain the ways Checkr creates a platform for offering its SaaS products,  covering topics like information security, physical security and operational security. The policies, procedures  and technologies described in this paper are detailed as of the time of authorship. Some of the specifics  may change over time as we regularly innovate with new features and products.

We’re committed to being transparent about our security practices and helping you understand our  approach.

SECURITY PROGRAM

Checkr has established a ISMS (Information Security Management System) based on the ISO 27001:2013  Information Security Standard because it is one of the most recognized frameworks worldwide. Checkr’s  ISMS covers the following security categories; Governance, Risk Management, Information Security policies,  HR Security, Asset Management, Access Control, Cryptography, Physical and Environmental Security,  Operations Security, Network Security, Product Security, Third-Party Security, Incident Response, Business  Continuity/Disaster Recovery, Continuous Monitoring, Vulnerability Management and Compliance.

GOVERNANCE

Checkr’s ISMS (information security management system) follows a top-down approach and is driven by  our ISMS Steering Committee comprised of cross functional department heads. The executive team meets  at least bi-annually to discuss the current posture of the program including the scope, vision, information  security policy, risks, internal and external audit non-conformities, corrective actions, etc. Tasks are  delegated to information owners and custodians to maintain and continually improve the ISMS.

PEOPLE SECURITY

People are every company’s greatest asset and biggest weakness. The people creating Checkr products  are important and therefore processes have been implemented to ensure we are hiring the right people. All  Checkr employees prior to employment must go through a background screen that consist of a SSN trace,  Sex Offender Search, Global Watchlist Search, National and Federal Criminal Search, Federal Civil Search,  County Criminal Searches, Employment Verification and Education Verification. Once cleared, employees  are required to sign and acknowledge company terms and conditions, non-disclosure agreements, policies  and procedures.

CHECKR SECURITY WHITEPAPER

Checkr has implemented a security awareness program which requires all Checkr employees to attend  a security training during onboarding week and are required to pass a test afterwards. Checkr provides  continuous education campaigns through various communication channels regularly.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Checkr has established a risk management program to demonstrate our commitment to information security.  We leverage ISO 27005 Risk Management framework to prioritize risks identified. Checkr identifies all  critical tangible and intangible assets to our business and assess the assets against potential threats and  vulnerabilities. We incorporate a business impact analysis (BIA) for all assets. Assets within and outside of  Checkr’s risk appetite are mitigated and managed so we can protect privacy and Checkr’s Confidentiality,  Integrity and Availability (CIA) of the asset. Risk assessments are conducted at least annually and/or when  major changes occur to the scope of the business.

ACCESS CONTROL

The concept of access control touches all three of the fundamental components of information security:  Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. It is a key component in preserving Confidentiality and Integrity by  limiting access to Checkr’s information. Checkr assures that access is granted to only to those personnel  with a valid business reason and justification. Availability ties to access control by restricting access to those  personnel with “need to know” and limiting user privileges. For ease of understanding, Checkr follows a  Role Based Access Control (RBAC) model for user access provisioning / de-provisioning. Checkr leverages  a world class identity management multi-factor authentication solution for employees to access information  systems. User and privileged user access is reviewed on a continual basis. Prior to a Checkr employee  separating from the organization, all access is revoked.

PRODUCT SECURITY

The mission of Checkr’s product security is to enable the product teams to build solutions that are best in  class when it comes to security. Checkr teams must perform security checks to ensure we create secure  products at each stage of development: requirements, design, implementation and deployment. Checkr  engineers continuously perform security checks such as regular penetration test by independent third parties, internal security reviews, internal and external security audits and regularly conducted threat models.  All patching and deployments into production must go in accordance to our formal Change Management  process. Checkr works with a world class bug bounty firm that helps Checkr triage and recreate all vulnerabilities  found. Our bug bounty program provides an incentive for ethical hackers to responsibly disclose software  bugs. This outside evaluation provides Checkr an independent view point of our applications to help keep  users safe.

INCIDENT RESPONSE

Checkr is dedicated to monitoring and responding to security incidents (physical, cyber, etc.) in a timely  manner. Checkr has developed an incident response policy to help prepare our dedicated IRT (incident  response team). On at least an annual basis, Checkr works with an independent cybersecurity firm to  recreate real life scenarios and test the effectiveness of our program. Checkr models our incident response  lifecycle based on the NIST 800-61 Computer Security Incident Handling Guide and it is divides the process  into four phases: Preparation, Detection & Analysis, Containment Eradication & Recovery and Post-Incident  Activity.

CRYPTOGRAPHY

Data in transit

All in bound HTTPS traffic goes through a cloud-based security platform that provides multiple layers  of DDoS protection. All inbound connections use TLS 1.2, are encrypted and authenticated using  AES-256 encryption. All of our database servers require SSL encrypted connections.

Data at rest

Our database instances, backups and read replicas are encrypted at rest using the industry standard  AES-256 algorithm. This provides an additional layer of data protection by securing our data from  unauthorized access to the underlying storage. For file storage, we use Amazon S3 buckets, which  allows us to encrypt files with server-side encryption.

CLOUD & NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY

Direct access to infrastructure, networks and data is minimized to the greatest extent possible. Where  possible, control planes are used to manage services running in production, to reduce direct access to host  infrastructure, networks and data. Direct access to production resources is restricted to employees requiring  access and requires approval, strong multifactor authentication and access via a bastion host.

Checkr’s production environment, where all customer data and customer-facing applications sit, is a logically  isolated Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). Production and non-production networks are segregated. All network  access between production hosts is restricted using firewalls to only allow authorized services to interact in  the production network.

VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT

Checkr has created a vulnerability management program to identify, respond and triage vulnerabilities  against the Checkr platform. Checkr approaches continuous monitoring through the development of  proactive and detective capabilities. Through the ongoing awareness of vulnerabilities, incidents and  threats, Checkr is poised to respond and mitigate accordingly.

PHYSICAL SECURITY

Datacenter Security

Checkr leverages AWS data centers for all production systems and customer data. AWS follows  industry best practices and complies with an array of compliance standards. Refer to AWS SOC  reports here: https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/soc-faqs/

Office Security

Checkr is located at 1 Montgomery St. Suite 2000 San Francisco, CA 94104 The building where  Checkr’s suite is located in are managed by security personnel 24x7 365 days a year. All Checkr  entry points are locked and secure at all times and require an electronic key card access to enter.  Visitors are required to check in with the building receptionist before being allowed elevator access  to Checkr’s suite followed by being greeted by our receptionist. CCTV’s, fire detection systems and  other safeguards are in place to maintain a restrict and secure environment.

BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN / DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

Recovery Planning

Checkr maintains a formal BCP/DRP that is regularly reviewed and updated by executive  management at least annually

Plan testing/exercising

Checkr tests elements of its BCP/DRP at least annually. Post mortems are documented and reviewed  with management to address issues and strengthen weak areas.

Review and approval of the BCP/DRP

As part of our ISMS program, the BCP/DRP is reviewed at least annually by management.

Redundancy

Checkr performs regular backups of Checkr account information, call records, call recordings and  other critical data using Amazon S3 cloud storage solution. All backups are encrypted in transit  and at rest using industry standard encryption. AWS (Amazon Web Services) spans across multiple  geographic regions and availability zones. Checkr backup files are stored redundantly across  multiple availability zones to create a fully backed-up and restorable environment.

THIRD-PARTY SECURITY

All third-parties used by Checkr are assessed thoroughly by going through a vendor risk assessment and  analyzed by our security team. Once the third-party is validated and meet Checkr’s security requirements, Checkr will periodically review security controls and SLA agreements. Checkr ensures that data is returned  and/or deleted at the end of a vendor relationship.

COMPLIANCE

Checkr complies with applicable legal, industry and regulatory requirements as well as industry best  practices.

ISO 27001 (Information Security)

Checkr is ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certified.

NAPBS (National Association of Professional Background Screeners)

Checkr is NAPBS accredited.

SOC 2 type II

Checkr is SOC 2 compliant (Security, Availability, Confidentiality).

ANNEX IV: LIST OF SUB-PROCESSORS
