4.1.1 Security Management System:
4.2.1. BPR Hub personnel are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the company’s guidelines regarding confidentiality, business ethics, appropriate usage, and professional standards.

Personnel handling Customer Personal Data are required to complete additional requirements appropriate to their role (e.g., certifications). BPR Hub’s personnel will not process Customer Personal Data without authorization.
4.3.1. Access Management. BPR Hub maintains a formal access management process for the request, review, approval and provisioning of all personnel with access to Customer Personal Data to limit access to Customer Personal Data and systems storing, accessing or transmitting Customer Personal Data to properly authorized persons having a need for such access. Access reviews are conducted periodically to ensure that only those personnel with access to Customer Personal Data still require it.

4.3.3. Access Control and Privilege Management. BPR Hub’s and Customer’s administrators and end users must authenticate themselves via a Multi-Factor authentication system or via a single sign on system in order to use the Services
4.3.4. Internal Data Access Processes and Policies – Access Policy. BPR Hub’s internal data access processes and policies are designed to protect against unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Customer Personal Data. BPR Hub designs its systems to only allow authorized persons to access data they are authorized to access based on principles of “least privileged”and “need to know”, and to prevent others who should not have access from obtaining access. BPR Hub requires the use of unique user IDs, strong passwords,two factor authentication and carefully monitored access lists to minimize the potential for unauthorized account use. The granting or modification of access rights is based on: the authorized personnel’s job responsibilities; job duty requirements necessary to perform authorized tasks; a need to know basis; and must be in accordance with BPR Hub’s internal data access policies and training.Approvals are managed by workflow tools that maintain audit records of all changes. Access to systems is logged to create an audit trail for accountability.Where passwords are employed for authentication (e.g., login to workstations),password policies follow industry standard practices. These standards include password complexity, password expiry, password lockout, restrictions on password reuse and re-prompt for password after a period of inactivity
