Technical measures:

SSL Certificate – is designed to secure the exchange of information over the Internet. It encrypts the information before it travels over the Internet. Encrypted information can only be decrypted by the server to which it is addressed. This guarantees that information sent to a website/online platform will not be stolen, intercepted, processed.

Bank card information, passwords and generally any information that is intended to remain private is secured by this certificate.

  • SSL certificate of the online platform
    COMTECH CO SRL
    is also used for securing e-mail correspondence, so that the personal data of the clients circulate in a secure environment and regulated by a series of security measures that ensure the confidentiality of the information.
  • Automatic back-up – set at a time interval to guarantee the information and for all customers to be sure that the information and preferences provided by them do not disappear and are not destroyed, lost or incorrect in case of a server failure.
  • Anti-spam and anti-virus filters that prevent the infiltration of malicious content or viruses that may process data in an unauthorised manner or transmit it to other entities or persons who have not obtained the data subject’s consent.
  • Protect the content of the customer profile by introducing a more complex password generation rule. The customer is asked, when creating the account, for a password that meets a higher complexity criterion (alphanumeric + special characters);
  • Securing modules and scripts that communicate within the platform. It constantly checks the functioning of the elements involved in client-server, server-client interaction.
  • Verification and optimization of modules This measure prevents the identification of global vulnerabilities in the platforms used, 0-day vulnerabilities that can intercept the exchange of data and therefore personal data in the interactions of the client with the platform or of the process owner with the client and the platform.
  • Classification of access types by the process manager – administration groups, possibility to add or delete certain rights on a user with full access – customization of access according to need.
  • Password protection of the device on which the process owner performs data processing to prevent unauthorised intervention.
  • Firewall – software program and hardware component installed in the server location of the company offering the hosting of the online platform, are intended to protect the server and network equipment against computer attacks, unauthorized intrusion attempts, installation of malicious software applications that may jeopardize the personal data of platform users. Firewall blocks unauthorised people from accessing information stored on equipment connected to the Internet.
  • Access to data processing systems where personal data is processed is only possible after the authorized person has been successfully identified and authenticated (e.g. with username and password or chip/PIN card), using the best security measures. In the absence of authorisation, access is refused.
  • All access attempts, both successful and unsuccessful, are logged (user ID, computer, IP address used) and archived in an audit-compliant format for 3 months. In order to detect misuse, the server performs repeated, random checks;
  • Access is blocked after repeated incorrect login attempts.
  • Constant checking of platform vulnerabilities, which could allow the extraction of personal information and data. The hosting has security measures and solutions that recurrently scan the processed files and data flow circulating within the platform;
  • Combat the risks of security breaches by taking technical and organisational precautions by securing the platform and constantly updating it with stable versions.
  • Password security of equipment that has direct access to the order table and customer delivery/billing data to prevent unauthorised access and therefore unauthorised processing by unauthorised persons.

Organisational measures:

  • Destruction of documents that are no longer needed (notes, erroneous invoices, etc.) using a document shredder at the disposal of the process manager;
  • Eliminate the risk generated by the human factor by prohibiting the processing of information outside the secure platform with the exception of the preparation of transport notes in the courier company’s platform, which is also a secure environment;
  • Adoption of security measures without differentiating between types of customers (new/existing/potential);
  • Adoption of an internal policy of verification of processes and processing at the time of product delivery or information retrieval regarding an order or possible offer;
  • Avoiding differentiation between clients through mechanisms that can positively or negatively profile the targeted person. For this reason, we do not ask for personal data on sexual orientation, sexual interests, gender, religion, membership of movements or groups, etc. Customers are free to order and choose what they want. By this measure, we consider that we respect the integrity of the person and avoid any trace of analysis/profiling based on these criteria.
