• “A susceptibility or flaw in our product or service, the supporting Operating System or supporting software that makes it infeasible to prevent an attacker from causing impact including: the compromise of data either by a non-user or a user accessing data beyond their intended level of access, integrity/trustworthiness of the system, and/or service availability”

• Security vulnerabilities and fraud impact examples include, but are not limited to: • Preventing subscribers from making or receiving calls, texts, or instant messages • Obtaining private or confidential subscriber data • Changing of system configuration or permissions• Making fraudulent calls

• Reporting a Security Vulnerability / Security / Fraud Concern• Using the BroadSoft Ticketing System – Via the “Problem Category” field

BroadSoft Security Vulnerability Response• Handling a Security Vulnerability / Security / Fraud Concern

• Upon report, the Security Response Team (SRT) will score the concerns within our Service Level Target Time Frames (see next slide)

• We score using the standard CVSSv3 scoring system:

• Actions that are taken within our support, Cloud Operations, and development teams to ensure we meet our mitigation and resolution time frames:

• Alerting customers and partners with a remedy designed to reduce the risk to customer's BroadSoft services and to avoid further exposure or fraud.

• Provide patches for current releases.• Provide any necessary updates to the BroadSoft security documentation.• Implementing changes to hosting infrastructure or portals.

Notes:1 BroadSoft usually exceeds these goals. Escalate if you have a more urgent issue or set the “Customer priority” to high.2 Risk Critical & High are tracked as ticket severity Major. All other risks are treated as Severity Minor but Medium uses the 90 Day Service Level Target.3 See the UC-One Service Level Target slide for more information on the service level for making commitment dates.

Security Vulnerability Service Level Targets

- See the Security Vulnerability Response document on Xchange for information about CVSS scoring.

- All security related issues are not necessarily vulnerabilities. Examples of these include unable to log-in, security toolkit operational problems,

fraud incidents unrelated to a vulnerability, questions regarding implementation of security features, feature requests, etc...

BroadSoft Secures Your Support Data• Secure Ticketing

• Authenticated users and all BroadSoft Support Engineers access our ticketing system using TLS.• Ticket notifications are emailed using SMTP over TLS (unless your email server does not support TLS).• Customers directly administer who can access the ticketing system using our Team Ticketing Administration.

• Additional Security added for Attached Files• Attached files are never sent in email notifications.• Any attached file may be deleted by the customer from any ticket at any time.• In addition, we have data retention rules that automatically delete attached files on fully resolved tickets after

the information is no longer required for issue investigation by BroadSoft.

• Secure Transfer of Very Large Files (For files >500MB) • Very large files such as DBs, CDRs, and log files can be transferred to us securely via SFTP/HTTP TLS at

https://support.broadsoft.com. See our FAQ for more information at: https://xchange.broadsoft.com/ftp-server• Secure files are deleted from the server upon offload by the TAC. As a secondary precaution, all files are

deleted automatically after 30 days in the unlikely event that no action was taken post transfer.

Escalations & Customer Priority• Escalating an issue will bring additional management attention• Additional resources may be allocated when appropriate• Use “Customer Priority” to show us the relative priority of your tickets. For example,

sometimes a Minor ticket can be more urgent than a Major ticket.• Severity of the issue is not automatically adjusted, however over time, and with mutual

agreement, the severity can be adjusted if it no longer matches to the severity definitions.

• Escalate issues in a timely manner

When to escalate:• A critical business roadblock is encountered• Dissatisfied with resolution or response • To better explain the relative priority of your tickets

Escalation ProcessesWhat can I expect during an escalation?

• Customer contact and escalation point will collaborate to develop a communication plan

• Where applicable a technical plan of action will be developed

When is the escalation considered closed?• The plan of action has been completed and the issue addressed• A reasonable period has elapsed without any further issue recurrence• The escalation has been reviewed and an agreement reached to downgrade

the case severity
