CAIQ Lite – Requirement Yogi Cloud

Our consensus for the Cloud Security Alliance is public to help customers assess our security posture.

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.
	Application Security	AIS-01.5	(SaaS only) Do you review your applications for security vulnerabilities and address any issues prior to deployment to production?	Yes	Same as the previous answer.
	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.
Audit Assurance & Compliance	Independent Audits	AAC-02.1	Do you allow tenants to view your SOC2/ISO 27001 or similar third-party audit or certification reports?	Yes	We don't have SOC2 or ISO 27001 reports, but we publish our last third-party audit (available on this page: Security audit (14/07/2022))
		AAC-02.2	Do you conduct network penetration tests of your cloud service infrastructure at least annually?	Yes	Same as the previous answer. We perform the test every year, but more than 12 months can happen between two audits, depending on the date of the test.
		AAC-02.3	Do you conduct application penetration tests of your cloud infrastructure regularly as prescribed by industry best practices and guidance?	No	"Industry best practices and guidance" is not specific enough to answer this question.

Change Control & Configuration Management	Unauthorized Software Installations	CCC-04.1	Do you have controls in place to restrict and monitor the installation of unauthorized software onto your systems?	No	"unauthorized" is not specific enough to confirm that we have controls in place (Authorized by whom?).
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.
	E-commerce Transactions	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.

		IVS-01.2	Is physical and logical user access to audit logs restricted to authorized personnel?	No	Since we are a very small company (5 persons to date), the authorized personnel would include the same people who have access to these systems.
		IVS-01.5	Are audit logs reviewed on a regular basis for security events (e.g., with automated tools)?	No
	Clock Synchronization	IVS-03.1	Do you use a synchronized time-service protocol (e.g., NTP) to ensure all systems have a common time reference?	Yes

	VMM Security - Hypervisor Hardening	IVS-11.1	Do you restrict personnel access to all hypervisor management functions or administrative consoles for systems hosting virtualized systems based on the principle of least privilege and supported through technical controls (e.g., two-factor authentication, audit trails, IP address filtering, firewalls and TLS-encapsulated communications to the administrative consoles)?	Yes	We restrict those functions, but only through part of those technical controls such as two-factor authentication. 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.
