Annex 1 – Data Security Measures

Security Domain Controls/ Description
Security Programs and Policies
Operyn maintains internal security practices appropriate to an early-stage SaaS company. Formal written information security policies are in development. Personnel follow secure coding and data handling practices as directed by the CTO. Policy documentation will be formalised prior to seeking third-party certification.
Risk and Asset Management
Operyn maintains an inventory of systems and services that process Customer Personal Data. Security risks are assessed on an ongoing basis by the CTO as part of product and infrastructure development decisions. Risk assessment is performed when introducing new sub-processors, making significant infrastructure changes, or in response to identified vulnerabilities or incidents.
Physical Access Controls
Operyn operates as a fully remote company with no on-premises servers or physical data centre infrastructure. All infrastructure is hosted with cloud providers (Hetzner, AWS) who maintain physical security controls including restricted physical access, CCTV monitoring, and environmental controls at their data centre facilities. No Customer Personal Data is processed on physical devices controlled by Operyn personnel.
Availability Controls
Operyn implements the following availability controls: (i) Kubernetes-based container orchestration on Hetzner with automatic pod self-healing and restart policies; (ii) automated daily PostgreSQL database backups with point-in-time recovery capability; (iii) uptime monitoring with alerting for service degradation. AWS App Runner provides auto-scaling and managed availability for the API layer. AWS S3 (Frankfurt, eu-central-1) provides 99.999999999% (11 nines) durability for stored data.
Data Retention and Deletion
Customer Personal Data deleted within 180 days of termination or deletion request (see Clause 6). AWS S3 data stored in Frankfurt (eu-central-1).
Encryption
All Customer Personal Data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2 or higher across all Operyn services and sub-processors. Data stored in AWS S3 (Frankfurt, eu-central-1) is encrypted at rest using AES-256 server-side encryption (SSE-S3). Database connections between services use TLS-encrypted channels.
Access Management
Access to Customer Personal Data is governed by Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Production environment access is restricted to authorised engineers on a need-to-know basis. Kubernetes RBAC controls cluster resource access. AWS IAM policies enforce least-privilege access to S3 and App Runner. Access rights are reviewed upon personnel changes.
Incident Response
Operyn notifies Customer within 48 hours of becoming aware of a Personal Data Breach (see Clause 8.2.1).
