Security Policies

Purpose

Easy Metrics delivers a secure, scalable business intelligence cloud service that provides customers with detailed cost and performance metrics on employee activities by process and customer. To provide end-to-end security and privacy, Easy Metrics builds and operates services in accordance with known security best practices and provides security features in those services.

The information provided below assists customers in understanding the security measures in place, and how Easy Metrics uses independent auditors to validate those measures. This page contains the following information:

Physical Security

Easy Metrics is a SaaS based application that is hosted in the Amazon Web Services Cloud and/or the Google Cloud Services hereafter referred to as Cloud Service Provider (CSP). The CSP infrastructure components are installed and managed in ISO 27001 & SSAE 16 Type II compliant data center facilities. Some key aspects of physical security include:

Personnel Security and Screening

Beyond the physical and application security, Easy Metrics also has internal policies to ensure procedures are in place for EM employees in regards to their access to the EM application. Only those employees deemed necessary (support and project implementation personnel) have access to customer accounts. In addition, Easy Metrics screens all employees with criminal background checks and in depth references checks. In addition, only Easy Metrics employees have access to the EM application as no third party vendors can gain access to the core application.

Application Security

All Easy Metrics Cloud operations, including accessing the Easy Metrics web application are secure. When importing your data (WMS, Time clock, etc.) raw data is stored on secure file storage at our CSP, although SFTP transfer is supported as well. This raw data is then imported into the Easy Metrics data client which is encrypted as well. Authentication and authorization to access Easy Metrics application is controlled at all points of user contact:

Web Authentication

Easy Metrics users can log in to the web application using their unique login name and password. Easy Metrics provides role-based access control for user account privileges (e.g. administrator accounts, standard user accounts). Customers assign roles to control the level of access provided to the users within their account. Customers can also customize password management policies (e.g., set minimum password length, set password expiry interval) to meet their own needs.

Authenticated Email

All Easy Metrics users are required to have a valid email address for notification purposes. The system ensures that users have a valid email address from the point of account creation through any changes that are made to the user’s profile.

Network Security

The Easy Metrics application is hosted on CSP on the easymetrics.com subdomains of app.easymetrics.com and data.easymetrics.com. The Easy Metrics application has been designed to leverage CSP firewall services which are monitored daily through system admins and Nagios alerts.

Data Security

Securing customer data, at rest and in transit, are core requirements for any cloud based Application.

Easy Metrics is a multi-tenant application that provides isolation between file data for different customers, and between all disk images thus ensuring that data for each customer is kept segregated.

As mentioned previously in this document, all data sent to Easy Metrics is encrypted via the CSP protocol and encrypted when stored at the Easy Metrics data client. At the app level, customers do not encrypt data due to the performance degradation that would occur, but instead many Easy Metrics customers will make certain data anonymous which is then stored in the EM application in that same fashion.

Compliance and Validation

The Easy Metrics application resides on our CSP which is ISO 27001 and SSAE 16 certified, EM can provide those reports upon request. In addition, Easy Metrics is certified in compliance with the ISO 27001:2013 certification for Data processing procedures.
