GDPR Management

What is a relationship?

Processing is everything that can happen to personal data. When personal data is viewed, edited, deleted, stored or otherwise treated, they are therefore processed..

Who is the controller

A person, company or government agency that determines how and why personal data is processed. This can be seen as the client (controller) and contractor (processor).

What are processors?

Processors are people, companies or government agencies that process personal data on behalf of the controller. This may only be done for the purpose set by the controller.

What are sub-processors?

Sub-processors are processors hired by the processors, whereby the controller is responsible for the (sub) processors.

When are you required to perform a PIA?

You are required by law to perform a PIA if: You systematically evaluate personal aspects of a natural person (this also includes profiling), you process special personal data on a large scale, you (for example via camera surveillance) follow people on a large scale and systematically. Even if you are not legally required to perform a PIA, it can be useful to do so. This gives you a good impression of the risks associated with a particular processing

What additional rights do data subjects have under the GDPR?

The rights of data subjects mean that from May 2018: can request access to the personal data that companies process about them (provided this does not place an unreasonable burden on the company) (right of access), companies may request correction if the data subject makes an error sees / notices in the personal data supplied (right to correction), companies may request a printout of the data that companies have about them (right to data portability). companies may ask if they want to delete the personal data they have about the data subject (right to be forgotten). The latter right means that not only the company that has received the personal data of the data subject must delete it, but also all companies to which the personal data has been supplied (sub-processors, outsourcing email campaigns, etc.).

What is processing?

Processing is everything that can happen to personal data. When personal data is viewed, edited, deleted, stored or otherwise treated, they are therefore processed.

How much personal data can I process?

The GDPR states that 2 concepts must be central to the processing of personal data: "Privacy by design" and "Privacy by default". The Dutch Data Protection Authority (DDPA) describes "Privacy by design" as follows: "Privacy by design means that during the development of products and services (such as information systems) you as an organization first pay attention to privacy-enhancing measures, also known as privacy enhancing technologies. Secondly, you take data minimization into account: you process as little personal data as possible, i.e. only the data that are necessary for the purpose of the processing. In this way you can technically enforce a careful and responsible handling of personal data. . " Privacy by Default means that the default settings of programs or services are already set to maximum privacy settings by default. The basic principle here is that the data subject still enjoys maximum privacy without adjusting (hidden) settings.

What is a dataleak?

A data breach is a breach of security that leads to unauthorized access, modification or retrieval of the stored personal data.

What is an incident

An incident is basically the same as a data breach, but the difference here is that it remains to be determined whether unauthorized access has been granted that could lead to the retrieval, modification or destruction of stored personal data.In the case of cross-border data processing, it is about where the head office of the controller is, if it is located in the Netherlands, for example, you are actually mainly dealing with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, which is then the leading supervisory authority. However, supervisors are also involved in the countries of the person (s) concerned, but they will then coordinate with the lead supervisor what should be done with regard to measures / fines.

What about cross-border data processing?

In the case of cross-border data processing, it is about where the head office of the controller is, if it is located in the Netherlands, for example, you are actually mainly dealing with the Dutch Data Protection Authority, which is then the leading supervisory authority. However, supervisors are also involved in the countries of the person (s) concerned, but they will then coordinate with the lead supervisor what should be done with regard to measures / fines.

I cannot access the AVG.Management Tool, what should I do?

If you cannot access the tool, you can do a number of things: The AVG.Management Tool runs on a security certificate from what was previously Comodo. You may receive a security warning telling you that the publisher is unknown. When this occurs you can check if your computer is up to date. We have noticed that customers with a Mac OS lower than 10.11 often get this message. You will have to perform a software upgrade to stop receiving this message in the future. For other problems you can send an email to helpdesk@avg.management.

Do I really have to delete everything when a right to be forgotten is exercised?

When exercising a right to be forgotten, there are a number of things to consider. There are exceptions to the right to be forgotten. The right to be forgotten does not apply to the following legal bases: Contractual agreement, legal obligation, vital interests and task of general interest. Two things you should take into account in any case are: The VAT Act, which falls under the fiscal retention obligation. This means that you must keep all invoices from you and your customers (VAT Act Art.35c) for 7 years (fiscal retention obligation). In addition, under the fiscal retention obligation, you must keep the following things for 7 years: the ledger the debtor and creditor administration the stock administration the purchase and sales administration the payroll This means that even if an employee exercises a right to be forgotten, you may not remove the payslips until the 7 years have passed. For exceptions to this retention obligation, please refer to the source: De Belastingdienst In any case, these are the things that all organizations must preserve. It may be that, based on the type of personal data, other retention obligations also apply.

Password Management

What is the ID Control Password Management service?

The ID Control Password Management service is a way to generate and store unique and complex passwords. You can use the built-in password complexity checker to see how strong your passwords are. The Password Management service also provides a way to see whether your passwords have ever been found in a breach so you can rest assured that no one other than yourself has access to your passwords.

What is the use of a group?

The grouping functionality is designed to make it easier for your employees to access certain systems that are important to them. Consider, for example, an HR employee who can only access groups that the HR needs access to using groups.

What if I want to access my passwords from a mobile device?

Using our Android and iOS apps you can access your passwords even from your mobile devices. For this you have to download the app and login to your Password Management account to access all your passwords. You can view, edit, copy and paste the passwords in your account to use in your other mobile apps.

I'm getting a message telling me that I need to generate a "Security Report". What is that?

The Security Report feature is a quick way to keep your passwords safe. You can see how strong your passwords are and you can also check if they have been leaked in a data breach. Here you can also see if you have used passwords twice or if a password is too old and should be changed.

What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Single Sign-On refers to a method where you can log in at a central place and not have to input your passwords at connected services. When using Single Sign-On (SSO) there is a small file that is placed on your computer (called a “cookie”) which can identify you when you surf to other websites and can automatically log you in.

Isn't a single username and password for different sites and services less secure?

In theory the use of a single username and password is indeed less secure. That is why we add an additional layer of security by requiring you to login using both a username and password and a one-time password that can be generated on a mobile phone by using SMS or a one-time password generating app, or you can purchase a small device that generates these one-time passwords that you can hang on your keychain.

What is the ID Control Strong/Mutli-Factor Authentication service?

The ID Control Multi-Factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection to your logon by requiring you to use something you know (your username and password) and something you have (like a mobile authenticator that generates One-Time Passwords).

Which types of login methods are supported?

With the ID Control Multi-Factor Authentication you can use the following options:

– SMS (MessageID)
– OTP generating app such as (but not limited to) Google/Microsoft Authenticator, FreeOTP or Authy
– Hardware OTP generator, this is a small device with a display that generates One-Time Passwords.
– OTP by email (MailID)

What happens when I lose my hardware OTP generator?

When you lose your hardware OTP generator you can login to the ID Control Strong Authentication user panel and set your token to “Lost”. You will be given a temporary password you can use instead of your OTP until you are given a new hardware token. The temporary password is valid for 10 days.

Why use the Password Management service instead of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome

While Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox offer the option to remember your passwords they lack the ability to generate secure passwords for you. Also when you want to access these passwords you are bound to that particular browser to use the passwords. The Password Cloud offers you the option to take the passwords with you regardless of your browser or device. Just log in to the Password Cloud using your masterpassword and one-time password and access all of your accounts!

Which browsers are supported?

The web interface can be reached using every browser, but when you want to autofill your passwords using our browser extension, using Firefox or Chrome is recommended.

How are my passwords protected?

Your passwords are protected using multiple layers of encryption, both while traveling over the internet and when stored on the server.

We use NaCl for the server and the front end (the web page from where you can login). We chose not to go with the well-known RSA and AES because even though they are well-known they are also very easy to implement wrong.

When you are using our browser plugin all your passwords are encrypted before leaving your browser and will never travel the internet in the open! When pulling a password from the server that is also encrypted until it reaches your browser. All your passwords are also encrypted while stored on the server so even the server admins can’t access them!

Can I share a password with a friend who doesn't have an account?

You can share passwords using the “Link share” functionality. This will create a link for you to send to your friend where they can see the password. You can also optionally choose to either set a password on that password link and set an expiry date or use count (for example: the link will only be able to be seen once).

What protocols are supported?

Our Single Sign-On solution makes use of open standards such as the SAML standard and the OpenID standard to ensure maximum compatibility and flexibility.

Where is my username and password stored?

This can be dependent on how the Single Sign-On is implemented. The Single Sign-On platform can import users from your office userbase (for example using Active Directory), your webserver (for example using SQL), or can be put in manually. When using your own office userbase your username and password are stored there and can be changed there.

How can I use the Multi-Factor Authentication platform?

When you purchase a service (either Password Management, Single Sign-On management or the Combi-Package) you need to create a user in the Mutli-Factor Authentication platform. When you have created that user you can assign it tokens. What types of tokens are supported are explained in “Which types of login methods are supported?”. Once the users have tokens assigned to them they can use the Strong Authentication to login to their services.

How can I register my mobile phone to recieve OTP's?

If you are using SMS based One-Time Passwords you need to enter your phone number in the Multi-Factor Authentication platform and assign yourself an SMS token. When using an OTP generating app, create a “Software token” and then scan the QR code with your Authenticator app.

What happens when I lose my mobile phone?

If you’ve lost your mobile phone you can login to the Multi-Factor Authentication platform to set your mobile token as “Lost”. This will create a temporary password you can use instead of your One-Time Password. The temporary password is valid for 10 days.
