7. Security & Privacy #

Renzulli Learning takes great care to protect non-public information provided by our customers. Renzulli Learning may have access to non-public information from multiple sources that include:

• Direct use of one of Renzulli Learning's hosted applications.
• Direct transfer from a customer's designated service representative or indirect transfer via batch data uploads.
• Transactional activities as information is updated or processed by a Renzulli Learning hosted application, or through data maintenance activities.
• Other sources as defined by one of our solutions.

Defense-in-Depth Strategy

Renzulli Learning has implemented a defense-in-depth strategy to protect non-public information. This strategy is based upon best practices designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations and is grounded in widely accepted industry standards. Our security management system is based on the following:

• Security Policies: All employees are responsible for the security of non-public information and follow practices defined within our Information Security Management System.
• Information Security Organization: Renzulli Learning management is committed to security and has established an organization responsible for the security of non-public information.
• Asset Management: All assets are strictly controlled and all information is classified to determine the appropriate controls required for access and handling.
• Human Resources Security Practices: In the U.S., Renzulli Learning conducts a comprehensive background check and screening at the time each employee is hired and requires that employees maintain familiarity and compliance with security responsibilities. When employees leave, a formal process removes their physical and virtual access to the Renzulli Learning infrastructure.
• Physical and Environmental Security: Critical components are hosted in LightEdge data centers, which secure infrastructure with card and biometric access controls and limit access to secure locations based on job function.
• Communication and Operations Management: Renzulli Learning has implemented strong operational procedures to protect information. Our controls surrounding system planning, protection from malicious code, backup processes, network security, media handling, and exchange of information are constantly analyzed and monitored to ensure they provide reasonable protection for your data. Third-party service providers with access to confidential information are required to adhere to security and privacy requirements that are consistent with and at least as restrictive as Renzulli Learning's own policies and procedures.
• Change Management: Renzulli Learning maintains a change management system to ensure controlled implementation of changes. All changes require both a risk analysis and a peer review before being implemented in Renzulli Learning infrastructure.
