Rapid7 shall ensure that all Authorized Persons Process the Personal Data only as necessary for the Permitted Purpose.
  5. Security.  Rapid7 shall implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the Personal Data from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to the Personal Data (a "Security Incident").

  10. Deletion or Return of Data.  After termination or expiration of the Agreement, or upon Customer’s request, Rapid7 shall destroy or return to Customer all Personal Data (including all copies of the Personal Data) in its possession or control (including any Personal Data subcontracted to a third party for Processing).  This requirement shall not apply to the extent that Rapid7 is required by any EU (or any EU Member State) law to retain some or all of the Personal Data, in which event Rapid7 shall isolate and protect the Personal Data from any further Processing except to the extent required by such law.
  11. Audit.  Rapid7 shall permit upon Customer’s written request, when Customer has reasonable cause to believe Rapid7 is in non-compliance with its obligations under this DPA, a mutually agreed-upon third party auditor (the “Auditor”) to audit Rapid7's compliance with this DPA and shall make available to such third-party auditor all information, systems and staff necessary for the Auditor to conduct such audit. Rapid7 acknowledges that the Auditor may enter its premises for the purposes of conducting this audit, provided that Customer gives it reasonable prior notice of its intention to audit, conducts its audit during normal business hours, and takes all reasonable measures to prevent unnecessary disruption to Rapid7's operations.  Customer will not exercise its audit rights more than once in any twelve (12) calendar month period, except (i) if and when required by instruction of a competent data protection authority; or (ii) Customer reasonably believes a further audit is necessary due to a Security Incident suffered by Rapid7.

Measure

Description

Measures of pseudonymisation and encryption of personal data

Data is encrypted in-transit using TLS. Where applicable, data is encrypted at rest within the product(s) by AWS. 

Measures for ensuring ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services

Rapid7 uses vulnerability assessment, patch management, threat protection technologies, and scheduled monitoring procedures designed to identify, assess, mitigate and protect against identified security threats, viruses, and other malicious code.

Measures for ensuring the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident

Business resiliency/continuity and disaster recovery procedures are in place, as appropriate, and are designed to maintain service and/or recovery from foreseeable emergency situations or disasters. For more information please see the Rapid7 Information Security documentation located at https://www.rapid7.com/trust/security/.

Processes for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organisational measures in order to ensure the security of the processing

Rapid7 uses multiple types of automated vulnerability scans and assessments which are run at various frequencies (e.g. when code changes occur, daily, weekly, and monthly). Additionally, we perform annual third-party penetration tests and industry security audits (e.g. SOC 2 Type II).

Measures for user identification and authorisation

Rapid7 uses logical access controls designed to manage electronic access to data and system functionality based on authority levels and job functions (e.g., use of unique IDs and passwords for all users, periodic review and revoking/changing access promptly when employment terminates).

Measures for the protection of data during transmission

Data is encrypted in transit using TLS.

Measures for the protection of data during storage

Where applicable, data is encrypted within the product(s) by AWS.

Measures for ensuring physical security of locations at which personal data are processed

Rapid7 maintains physical and environmental security controls of areas, within Rapid7’s facilities, containing client confidential information designed to: (i) protect information assets from unauthorized physical access, (ii) manage, monitor and log movement of persons into and out of Rapid7’s facilities, and (iii) guard against environmental hazards. Physical security controls such as logged keycard access to buildings and sensitive areas in buildings, fire alarms and suppression systems, are in use. For Rapid7’s Insight products hosted in AWS, physical and environmental controls are inherited from AWS.

Measures for ensuring events logging

Rapid7 has system audit and event logging and related monitoring procedures in place to record user access and system activity. Automated analytics are used to generate alerts for suspicious or potentially malicious activity. 

Measures for ensuring system configuration, including default configuration

Rapid7 uses configuration management tools to deploy and enforce baseline configurations on our systems. 

 

Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management

Rapid7 uses network security controls that provide for the use of enterprise firewalls and layered DMZ architectures, as well as intrusion detection systems and other traffic and event correlation procedures designed to protect systems from intrusion and limit the scope of an attack. Additionally, Rapid7 has Incident/problem management procedures designed to allow Rapid7 to investigate, respond to, mitigate, and notify of events related to Rapid7 technology and information assets.

Change management controls and procedures are established to ensure human review of production changes is performed to identify potential security issues before changes are made. 

Measures for certification/assurance of processes and products

Rapid7 regularly reviews its processes on an annual or as-needed basis. Additionally, Rapid7 undergoes a SOC2 Type II audit annually to ensure the effectiveness of controls relevant to security. 

Measures for ensuring data minimisation

Rapid7 has an Acceptable Use Policy which covers the ways in which personal data may be used, transferred, stored, and deleted. The policy states that personal data “should only be stored on Rapid7 technology assets and only the minimum information necessary to satisfy a business need should be stored.”

Measures for ensuring data quality

Rapid7 uses change management procedures and tracking mechanisms designed to test, approve, and monitor changes to Rapid7 and information assets.

Measures for ensuring limited data retention

Data retention policies are in place which comply with applicable laws and are reviewed regularly by information security and applicable stakeholders.

Measures for ensuring accountability

Rapid7 has a robust Information Security department which is tasked with ensuring accountability and consists of three groups: Trust & Security Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC); Security Operations and Engineering; and Portfolio and Program Management.

The Trust & Security GRC group is responsible for security governance (defining and socializing security policies and standards), security risk management (risk assessments, maturity assessments, etc.), security compliance (coordinating audits for third-party compliance assessments), customer trust (responding to security questionnaires, etc.) and security training and culture.

The Security Operations and Engineering group is responsible for network and host-based vulnerability assessments, threat detection, and incident response; cloud security, network security, and endpoint security; and application security.

The Portfolio and Program Management group is responsible for providing project management support, coordinating and updating strategic roadmaps, and driving cross-functional alignment processes 

Measures for allowing data portability and ensuring erasure

Data subject request processes are in place to handle erasure and data portability requests. Customers may reach out to Privacy@rapid7.com in order to exercise their rights.

 

For transfers to (sub-) processors, also describe the specific technical and organisational measures to be taken by the (sub-) processor to be able to provide assistance to the controller (and, for transfers from a processor to a sub-processor, to the data exporter).
