SCHEDULE 1
Technical and Organizational Measures
Technical and Organizational Measures
Introduction
Tracecast employs a combination of policies, procedures, guidelines and technical and physical controls to protect the personal data it processes from accidental loss and unauthorized access, disclosure, or destruction.
Governance and policies
Tracecast:
- follows secure configurations for systems and software, considering security measures during project initiation and throughout development.
- reviews its security posture regularly to ensure it remains appropriate as the business evolves, and makes improvements as needed.
Breach response
Tracecast maintains reasonable internal monitoring capabilities designed to detect potential service disruptions or suspicious activity.
Tracecast has a documented incident response plan tailored to its scale and operations, which outlines how we identify, investigate, contain, and respond to potential security incidents affecting personal data. We periodically review and refine this plan as our business evolves.
Access controls
Tracecast limits access to personal data by implementing appropriate access controls, including the following:
- Access to infrastructure and internal resources is managed on the basis of the Principle of Least Privilege: individuals are granted only the privileges they require to execute their business duties, and said privilege is revoked when it is no longer needed.
- Access management is centralized to identity providers, and wherever feasible, internal service delegate both authentication and authorization to these providers. This ensures that off-boarding and privilege revocation can be handled in a timely fashion.
- User Authentication for Tracecast internal resources is protected with both a strong password policy, as well as mandatory 2FA that disallows the use of SMS-based 2FA.
- Tracecast never knowingly stores plaintext passwords; if necessary, we stores hashed, salted results of authentication material, as appropriate for the use-case.
- Tracecast devices that are used for accessing internal resources enforce strong security measures, including strong passwords, use of anti-virus software, and full-disk encryption.
- Audit trails are retained of user actions performed within Tracecast infrastructure. Tracecast retains audit logs of all interactions with its internal services and all interactions with Customer projects.
- Traffic flow logs are retained that enable retroactive analysis of all connections to our infrastructure if needed.
- Only pre-approved and secure means of communicating with Tracecast services are exposed by Tracecast’s firewalls.
- All communication—including transmission of credentials—is conducted over connections protected by TLS configured with a set of modern ciphersuites.
Segmentation
- Production services are deployed in isolated environments with appropriate network controls.
- Observability data and logs are automatically segregated from customer data.
- Network isolation is enforced through our cloud infrastructure providers.
Encryption
- Stored data is encrypted at rest where appropriate using industry-standard encryption (AES-256), including any backup copies of the data.
- Sensitive configuration values and API keys are secured using Supabase Vault.
- All network communication is conducted over encrypted links protected by modern security standards (TLS 1.2, modern ciphersuites) to preserve confidentiality and integrity of the data.
Testing
Tracecast uses reasonable and appropriate security and compliance monitoring systems across its infrastructure, in order to detect any violations of its security policies.
Tracecast employs commercially reasonable security testing procedures appropriate to the size and nature of its business, which may include periodic external reviews or penetration tests by qualified third parties. Tracecast promptly addresses any material findings from such reviews.

- To the extent that the data exporter's Processing of Personal Data is subject to both Swiss Data Protection Laws and the GDPR, or the transfer of Personal Data from a data exporter to a data importer under the Clauses is an "onward transfer" under both the Clauses and the Clauses as amended by the remainder of this paragraph 3.5 of this Addendum:
- for the purposes of Clause 13(a) and Part C of Annex I:
- the FDPIC shall act as competent supervisory authority with respect to any transfers of Personal Data to the extent Swiss Data Protection Laws apply to the data exporter's Processing when making that transfer, or such transfer is an "onward transfer" as defined in the Clauses (as amended by paragraph 3.3 of this Addendum); and
- subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Schedule 2 (UK Addendum), the supervisory authority identified in Part 1 (Processing Details) shall act as competent supervisory authority with respect to any transfers of Personal Data to the extent the GDPR applies to the data exporter's processing, or such transfer is an "onward transfer" as defined in the Clauses.
- the terms "European Union", "Union", "EU", and "EU Member State" shall not be interpreted in a way that excludes the ability of Data Subjects in Switzerland bringing a claim in their place of habitual residence in accordance with Clause 18(c) of the Clauses; and
- Until the entry into force of the revised Swiss Data Protection Laws, the Clauses will also protect Personal Data of legal entities and legal entities will receive the same protection under the Clauses as natural persons.
4.1. With respect to any transfers of Personal Data referred to in clause 13.1(b) (each a "Global Transfer"), the SCCs shall not be interpreted in a way that conflicts with rights and obligations provided for in the Exporter Data Protection Laws.
4.2. For the purposes of any Global Transfers, the SCCs shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary so that they operate:
- for transfers made by the applicable data exporter to the data importer, to the extent the Exporter Data Protection Laws apply to that data exporter's Processing when making that transfer; and
- to provide appropriate safeguards for the transfers in accordance with the Exporter Data Protection Laws
4.3. The amendments referred to in clause paragraph 4.2 include (without limitation) the following:
- references to the "GDPR" and to specific Articles of the GDPR are replaced with the equivalent provisions under the Exporter Data Protection Laws;
