CAIQ-Lite 3.1 Security Assessment Questionnaire

Application Security

AIS-01.2

Do you use an automated source code analysis tool to detect security defects in code prior to production?

We use SonarLint to give developers continuous feedback on potential security issues in their code.

We also use SonarQube for automated analysis and scanning prior to code merging to the main branches. If the analysis fails, the branch will not go into production.

(SaaS only) Do you review your applications for security vulnerabilities and address any issues prior to deployment to production?

We periodically review possible vulnerabilities in dependencies with Snyk in both the back and front end of the application. If a vulnerability is found, an associated ticket will be created and the code will not go into production until it is solved.

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?

Only each customer has access to their own data through their own Jira Cloud instance, never directly. They must first log in to Atlassian SSO. More information available here: https://deiser-apps.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DSP/pages/1933574

AIS-03.1

Do your data management policies and procedures require audits to verify data input and output integrity routines?

We check data input and output for errors and corrupted data. These are checked from unit, integration and end-to-end testing to acceptance testing by human review. Our databases are encrypted at rest. Our employees' access to this data is restricted to a very limited group of systems personnel. Customer data input and output is managed by Role Level Security to ensure that information is kept isolated. We make an audit log in every I/O operations in database.

Independent Audits

AAC-02.1

Do you allow tenants to view your SOC2/ISO 27001 or similar third-party audit or certification reports?
