    ECS Service and Support Level Objective

    ECS Service Availability/Reliability1

    The availability objective for the ECS front end application processors, including the standardFTP, SSL FTP, and all .NET web service interfaces is 99% measured in minutes, on a monthly

    basis except during scheduled maintenance or applying any patches. IVANS shall not be

    responsible if power for the ECS service is lost due to electrical failure occurring outside of

    IVANS premises and not due to IVANS fault or negligence. In addition, the scope of this

    availability excludes, without limitations, all other public Internet backbones and networks, any

    server on the Internet, Customer premise equipment, and local access and backhaul facilities from

    the Customer to their collocation equipment. The point of demarcation for purposes of this SLO

    is the Customers router or firewall interface that connects to the Internet or private network.

    In order to meet our service level objective, a pager will be carried by our development team on a

    rotating basis on holidays, weekends and after hours. The individual scheduled to carry the pager

    will check voicemails upon being paged and respond accordingly. If the ECS service goes down

    a message will be sent to the individual carrying the pager. A system page or a page from thehosting facility, CBTS, is the means of communication. After receiving a page or email notice,

    the Developer responsible for the off hours pager will immediately contact CBTS for a detailed

    status report and make every effort possible to resolve the issue.

    Translation Services - Service Level Objective

    IVANS shall supply to Customer the support and maintenance necessary for the correction ofmalfunctions in the Translation service. An email and voicemail box, continuously monitored every

    working day between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Eastern time, shall provide the link betweenIVANS and Customer for the purpose of reporting such malfunctions.

    Email: [email protected]

    Voicemail: 800-548-2675, Options: 3, 2, 4

    When reporting the malfunction, Customer should define the seriousness of that malfunction. For thispurpose, four Priority Levels have been defined:

    Priority Level 1: Critical - entire production system cannot function (a/k/a the service is down)

    Priority Level 2: Severe - system can function, but problems could impact other areas of the system, or individual

    workstations cannot function

    Priority Level 3: Important - no impact on other areas of the system

    Priority Level 4: Minor - error of minor nature, cosmetic, documentation error, or general inquiry

    Depending on these different Priority Levels, IVANS shall, under normal circumstances, contact Customer

    to analyze the malfunction within the following time frames after receiving notification of the malfunction.

    Priority Level 1: Call or email within 4 working hours

    Priority Level 2: Call or email within 8 working hours

    Priority Level 3: Call or email within 2 working days

    Priority Level 4: Call or email within 5 working days

    For Priority Levels 1 and 2

    IVANS will use commercially reasonable efforts to find at least a temporary solution to the problem as a

    programming modification, a work around solution, or a procedures correction, and will determine thedefinitive correction according to the procedures that have been established to address these types ofissues.

    For Priority Level 3

    IVANS may advise Customer how to temporarily work around these malfunctions. IVANS will determinethe definitive correction according to the procedures that have been established to address these types of

    issues.

    For Priority Level 4

    Priority Level 4 errors will be fixed in a future release.

    Programming errors may involve varying degrees of difficulty in diagnosing the problem or correcting the

    error once the problem is understood, and the time frames established above represent target times thatIVANS will strive to meet, being at all times aware that the objective is the continued operation, availability

    and use by Customer of the Translation service. In reality, specific corrections may require a redesign orsome other major programming effort that may take significant time and resources. In all cases, however,IVANS agree to act in good faith and to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to promptly address,

    pursue through Incident resolution and perform their Support and Maintenance obligations as describedherein.

    ECS Information Security Standards

  • 8/3/2019 Contract Updated

    27/39

    ECS Information Security Standards11/2008

    Introduction

    The IVANS Information Security Plan (Plan) for the ECS product describes the

    safeguards to protect information and data as specified by the Gramm Leach Bliley Act.These safeguards are provided to:

    Protect the security and confidentiality of customers information (ProtectedInformation) and data sent to and stored in ECS;

    Protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of suchdata; and

    Protect against unauthorized access to or use of Protected Information that couldresult in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.

    This ECS Information Security Plan also provides for means to:

    Identify and assess the risks that may threaten Protected Information maintainedby ECS;

    Designate specific employees responsible for coordinating the program; Manage the selection of third party service providers; Make adjustments to the plan to reflect changes in technology, changes to the

    sensitivity of Protected Information, and internal and external threats toinformation security; and

    Reference related policies, standards and guidelines.Identification and Assessment of Risks to Customer Information

    IVANS recognized that there are both internal and external risks that may be a threat to

    Customer information. These risks include but are not limited to:

    Unauthorized access of Protected Information by someone other than thecustomer who sent the data or the party who was intended to receive the data

    Compromised system security as a result of system access by an unauthorizedperson

    Interception of data during transmission Loss of data integrity Physical loss of data in a disaster Errors introduced into the system Corruption of data or systems Unauthorized access of covered data and information by employees Unauthorized requests for covered data and information Unauthorized access through hardcopy files or reports Unauthorized transfer of covered data and information through third parties

    IVANS recognizes that this list is not complete. Technology is ever changing and withchange new risks or threats can evolve. Accordingly, IVANS Information Technology

    and Development departments will regularly be involved in the assessment of these risks

    and make recommendation so that the Customer information remains protected from anynew internal or external risks.

    Plan Coordination

    IVANS' employees designated for the coordination and execution of the plan are the Vice

    President of Development and the Director of Product Offerings. The coordinators, inconjunction with the network staff and other designated individuals will make up the

    IVANS Security Team and will be responsible for assessing the risks to Protected

    Information and implementing a plan or procedures to minimize those risks goingforward.

    Design and Implementation of Safeguards Program

    Employee Management and Training

    A thorough interview process on all new employees including reference checking and

    background reviews will be conducted when deemed appropriate. During the first few

    days of employment, each IVANS employee will receive proper training on the

    importance of confidentiality of Protected Information. All new employees will also betrained in the proper use of computer information and passwords. Also, any department

    responsible for customer Protected Information on ECS will provide ongoing updates to

    their employees. These training efforts should help minimize risk and safeguardcustomer Protected Information.

    A re-certification process will be performed by the ECS Product Manager on an annualbasis. That re-certification process will verify that all employees that currently have

    access to ECS still require such access, and that they have the minimum amount of access

    required to perform their job responsibilities. Additionally, access to the system will berevoked or modified immediately by the ECS Product Manager upon notification by

    IVANS Human Resources department of a change in job responsibilities or termination.

    know such information and requiring signed acknowledgement of the requirement to

    keep Protected Information private. Existing policies establish a procedure for the prompt

    reporting of the loss or theft of Protected Information. Offices and storage facilities thatmaintain Protected Information limit customer access and are appropriately secured.

    Paper documents that contain Protected Information are shredded at time of disposal.
