We use the Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire Lite (CAIQ-Lite) from the Cloud Security Alliance as a baseline mechanism to express our security posture in real terms and to provide security control transparency.
We've made this publicly available to help customers assess our security posture for their own vendor management initiatives. Please reach out to our security people over at security@r-yogi.com if you have any queries.
| Section Heading | Control Heading | CAIQ ID | Question Text | Answer | Notes / Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Application & Interface Security | Application Security | AIS-01.2 | Do you use an automated source code analysis tool to detect security defects in code prior to production? | Yes | We use dependency-check maven, a Maven plugin which warn about known vulnerabilities in dependencies. We treat those vulnerabilities as top priority. |

| Customer Access Requirements | AIS-02.1 | Are all identified security, contractual, and regulatory requirements for customer access contractually addressed and remediated prior to granting customers access to data, assets, and information systems? | Yes | We address this in our customer agreement and privacy policy. | |
| Data Integrity | AIS-03.1 | Does your data management policies and procedures require audits to verify data input and output integrity routines? | No | The policies and procedures don't require such audits. However, we regularly perform security audits to check that our software correctly escapes data input and output. | |

| Data Security & Information Lifecycle Management | E-commerce Transactions | DSI-03.1 | Do you provide standardized (e.g. ISO/IEC) non-proprietary encryption algorithms (3DES, AES, etc.) to tenants in order for them to protect their data if it is required to move through public networks (e.g., the Internet)? | No | We don't have e-commerce transactions. However, all traffic is in HTTPS or SSH when going over the internet. |
| DSI-03.2 | Do you utilize open encryption methodologies any time your infrastructure components need to communicate with each other via public networks (e.g., Internet-based replication of data from one environment to another)? | No | We don't have e-commerce transactions. However, all traffic is in HTTPS or SSH when going over the internet. | ||
| Nonproduction Data | DSI-05.1 | Do you have procedures in place to ensure production data shall not be replicated or used in non-production environments? | Yes | No SSH over the internet is possible for our Cloud instances, so DevOps employees cannot extract data through it. | |

For example, we don't have IP address filtering for the access to the AWS console (AWS doesn't provide this feature, to our knowledge). | |
| Wireless Security | IVS-12.1 | Are policies and procedures established and mechanisms configured and implemented to protect the wireless network environment perimeter and to restrict unauthorized wireless traffic? | No | It is assumed that "wireless" refers to the employee network, and employees can work outside of the office, therefore the answer can't be positive. | |
