What can you do to prevent DDoS?

We are based on a managed service at Heroku, which has the utmost responsibility. They write about DDoS Mitigation.

Our infrastructure provides DDoS mitigation techniques including TCP Syn cookies and connection rate limiting in addition to maintaining multiple backbone connections and internal bandwidth capacity that exceeds the Internet carrier supplied bandwidth. We work closely with our providers to quickly respond to events and enable advanced DDoS mitigation controls when needed.

In addition to the “rough” layer that our provider takes care of, we ourselves have implemented request throttling at the application level.

In connection with the upcoming migration to eu-north-1 (Stockholm), we are implementing an AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) Diciembre /2023Can we have SSO with Microsoft or similar so that we can easily manage security accesses, such as when employee stops?

Yes, it is an integral part of our solution.

Can we get a copy of your data processing agreement so we can review it?

We only store the data that will be used in calculating the basis for your bonus and commission statements. With regard to personal data according to: GDPR states this in our DPA under section 2.2 but can be summarized as:

  • Basic salary
  • Individual Goals

  • Name

Is the data separated or aggregated in one place?

All data is, as it typically is on a SaaS solution, bundled into one database with row-level multi-tenancy. All entities have a customer ID, as part of the core of the application is globally scoped. In other words, customers cannot access each other's data.

Is data stored on anything other than our employees' turnover — such as phone numbers of calls or names of customers?

We only store the data that you submit and which is necessary to calculate your models. Customer name is often an identification marker used to understand and communicate the calculated and accrued bonus and commission.
