Annex C - Security Measures
1. ACCESS
1.1 Preventing Unauthorised Product Access.
1.1.1 Outsourced processing: We host our Service with outsourced cloud infrastructure providers. Additionally, we maintain contractual relationships with vendors in order to provide the Service in accordance with our DPA. We rely on contractual agreements, privacy policies, and vendor compliance programs in order to protect data processed or stored by these vendors.
1.1.2 Physical and environmental security: We host our product infrastructure with multi-tenant, outsourced infrastructure providers. The physical and environmental security controls are independently audited for PCI compliance, among other certifications.
1.1.3 Authentication: We implement a uniform password policy for our customer products. Customers who interact with the products via the user interface must authenticate before accessing non-public customer data.
1.1.4 Authorization: Customer Data is stored in multi-tenant storage systems that is accessible to Subscribers via only application user interfaces and application programming interfaces. Customers are not allowed direct access to the underlying application infrastructure. The authorization model in each of our products is designed to ensure that only the appropriately assigned individuals can access relevant features, views, and customization options. Authorization to data sets is performed through validating the user’s permissions against the attributes associated with each data set.
1.1.5 Application Programming Interface (API) access: Public product APIs may be accessed using an API key or through OAuth authorization.
1.2 Preventing Unauthorised Product Use.
We implement industry standard access controls and detection capabilities for the internal networks that support its products.
1.1.1 Access controls: Network access control mechanisms are designed to prevent network traffic using unauthorised protocols from reaching the product infrastructure. The technical measures implemented differ between infrastructure providers and include Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) implementations, security group assignment, and traditional firewall rules.
1.1.2 Intrusion detection and prevention: We implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution to protect hosted customer websites and other internet-accessible applications. The WAF is designed to identify and prevent attacks against publicly available network services.
1.1.3 Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in our source code repositories is performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
1.1.4 Penetration testing: We maintain relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers for four annual penetration tests. The intent of the penetration tests is to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.
1.3. Limitations of Privilege & Authorization Requirements
1.3.1 Product access: A subset of our employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces. The intent of providing access to a subset of employees is to provide effective customer support, to troubleshoot potential problems, to detect and respond to security incidents and implement data security. Access is enabled through “just in time” requests for access; all such requests are logged. Employees are granted access by role, and reviews of high risk privilege grants are conducted regularly. Employee roles are reviewed at least once every six months.
1.3.2. Background checks: All FLEET employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with and as permitted by the applicable laws. All FLEET employees are required to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
2. TRANSMISSION
2.1 In-transit: We enforce HTTPS encryption (also referred to as SSL or TLS) available on all FLEET App, Web and API interfaces and every customer site hosted on HubSpot products. Our HTTPS implementation uses industry standard algorithms and certificates.
2.2 At-rest: We store user passwords following policies that follow industry standard practices for security. We have implemented technologies to ensure that stored data is encrypted at rest.
3. INPUT
3.1 Detection: We designed our infrastructure to log extensive information about the system behaviour, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregated log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Our personnel, including security, operations, and support personnel, are responsive to known incidents.
3.2 Response and tracking: We maintain a record of known security incidents that includes description, dates and times of relevant activities, and incident disposition. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel; and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For any confirmed incidents, we will take appropriate steps to minimise product and Customer damage or unauthorised disclosure. Notification to you will be in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
4. AVAILABILITY CONTROL
4.1 Infrastructure availability: The infrastructure providers use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure a minimum of 99.95% uptime. The providers maintain a minimum of N+1 redundancy to power, network, and HVAC services.
4.2 Fault tolerance: Backup and replication strategies are designed to ensure redundancy and fail-over protections during a significant processing failure. Customer data is backed up to multiple durable data stores and replicated across multiple availability zones.
4.3 Online replicas and backups: Where feasible, production databases are designed to replicate data between no less than 1 primary and 1 secondary database. All databases are backed up and maintained using at least industry standard methods.
4.4 Our products are designed to ensure redundancy and seamless failover. The server instances that support the products are also architected with a goal to prevent single points of failure. This design assists our operations in maintaining and updating the product applications and backend while limiting downtime.

As between the Parties, FLEET shall solely and exclusively own all right, title, and interest in the Deliverables, including all derivatives, enhancements and modifications thereof; and the Subscriber hereby makes all assignments necessary to accomplish the foregoing ownership. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, FLEET grants the Subscriber a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable licence to use the Deliverables solely in connection with the Subscriber’s permitted use of the Services.
7.2. A "Subscriber Contribution" is source code that is created by the Subscriber in connection with the Professional Services and is specifically identified in a SOW. Any potential ownership or licensing of the Subscriber Contributions is addressed in the SOW.
8. Open Source. FLEET may incorporate open source materials into any Deliverable. FLEET will notify the Subscriber that it is providing such open source software upon or prior to delivery, and FLEET will avoid providing any open source materials that are governed by a so-called “copyleft licence” that would require the Subscriber to permit any disclosure of, distribute or make available any of the Subscriber’s proprietary software if the Subscriber uses the Deliverables as permitted hereunder. Any open source materials provided by FLEET are licensed to the Subscriber pursuant to the terms of the applicable open source licence and not this Agreement.
