Insight into jacando’s security
poilicies – Information handling

All information assets must be classified according to their sensitivity level. Employees are responsible for handling and protecting information according to its classification. It is important to ensure that appropriate measures are taken to maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Purpose Limitation

Customer-related data may only be used for the defined and necessary business purposes. Any usage not directly related to operational requirements is strictly prohibited.

Local Storage and Usage

Local storage and usage of customer data on personal devices or local servers are generally prohibited. All data must be stored and processed on the designated and secure company systems.

Dissemination & Sharing

The dissemination or sharing of customer data with external parties is strictly prohibited unless explicit approval is granted by the customer.

Exceptional Cases and Approval

In specific situations, local storage of customer data may be required, but prior approval from Timo Zimmermann or Alexander Pelka is essential. Unauthorized actions will be deemed policy violations.

Security and
Accountability

Each employee is obligated to take security measures to protect customer-related data from unauthorized access or loss. It is the responsibility of each one to ensure compliance and protection.

Compliance duty

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in disciplinary measures and legal repercussions. We urge every individual to responsibly manage customer data and promptly report any uncertainties or concerns to management.

Safety @jacando

"Security by Design" is an approach that aims to integrate security aspects into the development process of products and systems, rather than treating them as an afterthought. This approach aims to ensure that security considerations are taken into account from the outset in all phases of product development.

Identification of potential security risks and threats at an early stage of product development. This makes it possible to plan and implement appropriate security measures to mitigate these risks.
