Our commitment

Protecting your data

Krista Software is concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ reasonable physical, technological, and administrative security measures intended to safeguard and help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage method is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored “personal data” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on the website in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (I) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (II) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

Issue remediation

How we handle security issues

In an untoward event, all security issues that are discovered during assessments would be mitigated based on the following risk levels. Remediation validation testing would be required to validate fix and mitigation strategies for any discovered issues of medium risk level or greater.

High

Any high-risk issue would be fixed immediately, or other mitigation strategies must be put in place to limit exposure. Applications with high-risk issues are subject to being taken offline or denied external release.

Medium

Medium risk issues would be reviewed to determine what is required to mitigate and would be scheduled accordingly. Applications with medium risk issues may be taken off-line or denied external release, based on:

  • The total number of issues.
  • The associate risk reaching an unacceptable level.

Issues would be fixed in a subsequent release unless other mitigation strategies limit exposure.

Low

Issue would be reviewed to determine what is required to correct the issue and scheduled accordingly.
