Access by Proof Employees

On-Prem and Other Cloud Servers

Employees of Proof do not have access to end-user servers or databases. The Ottomatic Cloud Console stores a key, which is revocable by the end-user through the OttoFMS or Otto Interface, and API access is securely proxied using that key.

Ottomatic Managed Services

Employees do have access to Ottomatic managed services to provide support and monitoring. End-users grant us permission to access Ottomatic Managed Services for support if we are required to access them as part of an active abuse or fraud investigation or where access is necessary to comply with a valid legal process.

Cross-Border Data Transfer Mechanisms

Proof's support staff worldwide may have access to personal data stored in the United States or elsewhere. Additionally, certain personal data (e.g. phone numbers) may be transferred across borders to Proof's third-party vendors for purposes related to providing the Services, such as sending text messages with authentication codes or making automated VOIP-based calls that verify logins wherever the end-user is located.

Personal Data Security

Proof has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to secure personal data from accidental loss and unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Our data center and cloud providers offer robust controls to maintain security and data protection. Physical security controls include but are not limited to perimeter controls such as fencing, walls, security staff, video surveillance, intrusion detection systems, and other electronic means. More information can be requested by contacting [email protected] and signing an NDA.

Proof uses multiple techniques to protect customer data, including, but not limited to: network segmentation between datastores and other components of the Ottomatic platform, least privilege access to datastores based upon roles or responsibilities, and hardening of production assets to minimize attack surface.

Information Security Incident Management

Breach and Incident Notification Processes

The Information Security team within Proof coordinates the data incident response process and manages the platform-wide response to data-centric incidents. The Incident Commander directs and coordinates Proof's response. A Proof Incident Response Team manages the receipt, investigation, and public reporting of security vulnerabilities related to Proof products and networks for each incident. This team works with Customers, independent security researchers, consultants, industry organizations, and other vendors to identify possible security issues with Proof products and networks.
