Data privacy and data security
Digital Samba is a security-conscious organisation - always has been, and always will be. Compliance with regulations is not the main driver behind this philosophy. We simply believe it makes sense to respect the trust our customers and partners have placed in us. That said, we welcome compliance regulation because it provides a framework within which to operate. Over the years, various rules and regulations have come into effect, and we take pride in going above and beyond to ensure compliance. With the advent of the GDPR, we jumped at the opportunity to take a good, hard look at our security and privacy protocols and processes.
In line with GDPR, we documented and formalised our Technical and Organisational Measures (TOMs) and rigorously reviewed our external & internal policies and their associated internal processes. We updated our agreements, rewrote our Privacy Policy from scratch and put together a comprehensive Data Processing Agreement (DPA). Security and privacy experts supervised our efforts every step of the way, and we are proud to say that we are fully GDPR compliant.
But our work is not done. We continue to monitor, revise, audit and fortify our processes, and we continue to collaborate with security experts to keep your data private and secure.
We believe in ethical business practices. We do not make our money by selling customer data - ever. We value relationships over a quick buck, and we demand the same from our partners.
For those inclined to deep-dive into the specifics of what we do to protect your data, take a look at the various documents in the following sections.
Technical and Organisational Measures (TOMs)
Digital Samba’s Technical and Organisational Measures (TOMs) were defined, documented and implemented as part of our preparations for GDPR compliance. These measures aim to safeguard the confidentiality, availability, integrity and resilience of personal data. It’s worth remembering that absolute protection is impossible, but that doesn’t stop us from trying. We are extremely diligent in maintaining the strongest possible protective measures.
Data Processing Agreements (DPA)
Digital Samba offers two products: Digital Samba Embedded and Samba Live. To cater to the different subprocessor requirements for each product, we have created separate Data Processing Agreements (DPAs). They can be found below:
Both DPAs share a similar nature and serve as validation of our commitment to responsible data control and processing. Please note that the engagement of certain subprocessors may vary depending on the chosen product configuration.
Please contact us if you want us to execute a DPA with your organisation.
Security White Paper (SWP)
The Digital Samba Security White Paper (SWP) gives you a practical overview of how we apply our data security philosophy in the various elements of our platform and organisation. From protocols and hosting locations to security features and incident management, everything is covered.
The SWP can be found here.
