General

Effective
Acceptable use policy established

All individuals becoming employees, including key function holders, are informed, and held subject to, acceptable and unacceptable rules of behavior for the use of technologies, including consequences for unacceptable behavior.

Evidence

  • Acceptable use policy
Effective
Data protection impact assessments performed

Data protection impact assessments (DPIAs) are performed in accordance with GDPR.

Evidence

  • Data protection impact assessments

Further guidance

Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): An assessment of the impact of envisaged processing operations on the protection of personal data, before the processing is started.

It is required when a type of processing (in particular using new technologies, and taking into account the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing) is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The following examples are offered to help assess whether a project involving data processing should receive a DPIA:

  • If you’re using new technologies
  • If you’re tracking people’s location or behavior
  • If you’re systematically monitoring a publicly accessible place on a large scale
  • If you’re processing personal data related to “racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person’s sex life or sexual orientation”
  • If your data processing is used to make automated decisions about people that could have legal (or similarly significant) effects
  • If you’re processing children’s data
  • If the data you’re processing could result in physical harm to the data subjects if it is leaked
Effective
Acceptable use policy acknowledged by employees

All individuals becoming employees, including key function holders, are informed, and held subject to, acceptable and unacceptable rules of behavior for the use of technologies, including consequences for unacceptable behavior.

Evidence

  • Acceptable use of assets
Effective
Change management procedure established

Rules for the secure installation of software and updates on operational systems are defined and implemented.

Evidence

  • Change management procedure

Further guidance

  • changes to information systems may also include system configuration changes, updates to existing security measures, and installation of acquired software
  • the rules may include the need for controlled recording, testing, assessing, approving, implementing and verifying of new software and code before it is put into production.
  • Emergency changes (i.e. changes that must be introduced as soon as possible) follow procedures that provide adequate safeguards.
Ineffective or undetermined
Appropriate methods used for authentication

Authentication methods are appropriately implemented and sufficiently robust to adequately and effectively ensure that access control policies and procedures are complied with. Strong (two-factor) authentication methods are enforced where applicable.

Evidence

  • Configuration of secure authentication for all users, or;
  • List of users with their authentication mechanisms

Subprocessors

Third parties this organization works with that may process customer data.

Sentry

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly asked questions regarding this organization's security and privacy practices.

Access & Authentication

Do you support SSO and MFA?

Yes. Users are authenticated via Keycloak, with support for Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

How is internal access to customer data controlled?

We apply the principle of least privilege to employee access. Development and production environments are segregated, and all user activity is logged and monitored.

Compliance & Audits

Are you ISO 27001 certified?

Yes. Our Information Security Management System (ISMS) is certified against the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard. The certificate scope, validity period and the full certificate are available for download in this Trust Center.

Data Hosting & Residency

Where is Tidal Control hosted?

Tidal Control runs on Microsoft Azure in the West Europe region. Our infrastructure is provisioned and managed as code using Terraform, ensuring consistent, repeatable, and best-practice configuration.

Where is my data stored / what about data residency?

Your data is stored in the EU. The platform, database and backups run on Microsoft Azure in the West Europe region, replicated across multiple EU availability zones.

Two supporting services process a limited set of data outside the EU, both under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. The in-app AI assistant runs on Anthropic in the United States, which receives the prompts you submit and the platform content retrieved to answer them. Transactional email such as notifications and invitations is sent through Postmark in the United States, which receives recipient name, email address and message content.

The full list of subprocessors, with the purpose and location of each, is published in this Trust Center.

Data Protection & Encryption

Can other customers access my data?

No. Tidal Control uses a multi-tenant architecture in which each customer receives their own dedicated platform tenant, and data is inaccessible to other tenants.

How are backups handled?

Backups are encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption and replicated across multiple EU availability zones.

How are encryption keys and secrets managed?

Cryptographic keys, secrets, and credentials are safeguarded in Azure Key Vault.

Is my data encrypted?

Yes. Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit using a strong cryptographic configuration. Backups are encrypted with AES 256-bit encryption.

Hosting & Infrastructure

Is the platform highly available?

The platform runs across multiple Azure availability zones, with data and backups replicated across multiple EU zones to support resilience and availability.

Privacy & GDPR

Are you GDPR compliant?

Yes. We manage all personal data in line with the GDPR and our Privacy Policy, and we maintain Data Processing Agreements with the third parties involved in delivering the service.

Do you offer a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?

Yes. We act as processor for the personal data you manage in Tidal Control. The processor terms are set out in article 12 of our SaaS Terms and Conditions, which together with your contract form the data processing agreement referred to in the GDPR. Some of the subprocessors we engage are established outside the EEA; those transfers are covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses agreed with the subprocessor concerned. Our subprocessors are listed in this Trust Center. If you need a single DPA document for your own vendor records, contact us and we will provide one.

Secure Development & Vulnerability Management

How do you manage vulnerabilities?

We continuously monitor for vulnerabilities using Dependabot (third-party dependencies) and Sentry. We also conduct periodic threat modeling to identify and mitigate risks.

What is your secure development process?

All code changes go through mandatory code reviews enforced by branch policies, and third-party dependency vulnerabilities are managed through Dependabot.

Vendor / Subprocessor Management

How do you manage third-party vendors?

Third-party vendors are regularly reviewed for adherence to our security policies and standards, and Data Processing Agreements are in place where personal data is involved.
