Exhibit A: Technical and Organisational Measures Applicable to Dependency Data and Security Analysis Results

 

Access Control

 

  • Internally, SonarSource restricts access to Dependency Data and/or Security Analysis Results to its employees or contractors who have a defined need-to-know basis or a role requiring such access.
  • Internally, access to the SonarSource network and production systems requires multi-factor authentication (MFA), or equivalent controls.
  • Internally, SonarSource maintains user access controls that address the timely provisioning and de-provisioning of SonarSource employee and contractor internal user accounts.
  • Remote access is strictly managed and requires secure connections and MFA to access the SonarSource network and production environments.

 

Personnel Security

 

  • SonarSource performs appropriate educational and criminal background checks on its employees and contingent workers, as applicable under the relevant local laws and regulations.
  • SonarSource ensures that all of SonarSource’s employees and contingent workers receive security awareness and data protection training appropriate for their role upon hire, as well as update training sessions at least annually thereafter.

 

Audit

 

  • Internally, and for the Products, SonarSource will maintain ISO 27001:2022 certification and/or AICPA SOC 2 attestation for the term of the Agreement.
  • SonarSource agrees to participate in Customer’s third-party assurance program. SonarSource agrees to complete Customer’s security questionnaires at intervals of every twelve (12) months, or upon contract renewal(s), where the information provided in SonarSource’s security certification or attestation reports is deemed insufficient to answer to assurance questions.

 

Business Continuity

 

  • SonarSource maintains business continuity, backup and disaster recovery plans (“BC/DR Plans”) in order to minimize the loss of service and to comply with applicable data protection laws and regulations.
  • The BC/DR Plans address threats to the Products and any dependencies, and have an established procedure for resuming access to, and use of, the Products.
  • SonarSource tests the BC/DR Plans at regular intervals.
  • SonarSource enables all Customer Product instances with a minimum of thirty (30) days’ of back-ups, to which only the Customer has access to.
  • All customer instances enabled within the AWS Frankfurt region use High Availability (HA) configuration.
  • For Customer’s own environments and systems, the Customer is solely responsible for the design, development, implementation, and management of its own BC/DR Plans, including the use of the supplied back-ups provided by SonarSource.

 

Change Control

 

  • SonarSource maintains internal policies and procedures for applying changes to the Products, including the underlying infrastructure and system components, to ensure quality standards are being met.
  • SonarSource undergoes a penetration test of its network, Products and Support offerings on an annual basis. Any vulnerabilities found during this testing are remediated in accordance with SonarSource’s Vulnerability Management Policies and Procedures and are assessed on the basis of Sonar’s Risk Management Framework.
  • SonarSource performs regular scans of its network and any vulnerabilities found will be addressed in accordance with SonarSource’s Vulnerability Management Policies and Procedures and are assessed on the basis of SonarSource’s Risk Management Framework.
  • Security patches are applied in accordance with SonarSource’s patching schedule.


Data Classification and Security

  • SonarSource maintains and enforces formal data classification and handling requirements for all customer, internal, and public-facing data.
  • SonarSource maintains technical safeguards and other security measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of Dependency Data and/or Security Analysis Results, including state of endpoint device protections, anti-malware, IDS/IPS, data loss/leakage prevention (DLP), network and host-based firewalls.
  • Sonar logically segregates Dependency Data and/or Security Analysis Results in the production environment.
