Opendate maintains appropriate security personnel for the facilities. Opendate office locations are restricted access facilities with appropriate door access. Badge access is required to enter and exit the building, with additional access required to secure areas. Cameras monitor the office locations. Additional restrictions include, but are not limited to, secure document handling, screen protection to mitigate shoulder surfing, and additional badge access. Rooms that store telecommunication and network equipment are kept locked, and alarmed.

Network Security

Security Team
Opendate has a security program and works with a third-party CISO.
Network Vulnerability Scanning
Opendate utilizes various internal security tools to perform internal network vulnerability scans against all production environments. Additionally, external network scans are performed using open source tooling as a routine part of our third-party penetration tests.
Third Party Penetration Tests
In addition to our internal testing, Opendate engages a third-party security firm to perform vulnerability and penetration testing twice a year.
Security Incident Event Management
Opendate utilizes a security information and event management (SIEM tool). Opendate's Information Security Team reviews logs and alerts for performance and security considerations including logs relating to authentication, endpoint, web application, and more.
Intrusion Detection and Prevention
The Opendate Platform leverages logging capabilities and supporting systems to monitor for potential threats. Within the application, customers can review the logs and set up alerts to be emailed if certain activities occur, such as a failed login attempt or if a document has been downloaded or exported.
DDoS Mitigation
Opendate leverages a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to perform ingress filtering at the network boundary and prevents direct access to internal resources through the use of private, Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). Additionally, solutions are used to provide Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection for all applications running in the cloud environment.
Security Incident Response
Opendate has an established Incident Response Policy, standard and procedures which outlines actions, notification, and steps for remediation in the event of any type of incident beyond normal business operations. This plan is tested annually for security events.

Additional Product Security Features

Role-Based Access Controls
Within the Opendate platform, role assignments can be utilized to gatekeep access to features and functionality. Every member of a team has a role, each with its own level of access to features. Based on the solution set for a team, you’ll have access to different roles.

Administrative Roles:
• The Team Owner role is only available at the team level.
• Org Admin roles are available at the organization-level but can perform some functions at the team level.

Non-administrative Roles:
• If your organization is not on the current solution-based licensing model, there are different non-administrative roles such as Editor, Viewer, etc.

Feature Specific Roles:
• In addition to the roles above, there are roles to provide access to specific features in a workspace. These roles would include Content managers, copy managers, task admins, and filing roles.
IP Restrictions

Email Signing (DKIM/DMARC)
The Opendate Platform signs outbound messages with DKIM, adheres to a hardfail SPF policy, and runs DMARC in reject mode.
