I. Overview
The security-related technical and organizational measures (TOMs) provided below apply to all product and technology services provided by ChannelEngine internally, and externally. Those TOMs demonstrate the security measures and controls taken to protect ChannelEngine’s data. Evidence of the security measures implemented and maintained by ChannelEngine shall be proved in terms of up-to-date attestations, reports, or external and internal audits.
II. Information Security Management System (ISMS)
ChannelEngine’s Information Security Management System (ISMS) consists of 5 security domains which cover all the required policies, processes, guidelines, best practices, and controls that ChannelEngine has identified as essential to develop, implement, and adopt. Some of the policies in the domains are:
