Rosalyn’s Commitment To Trust

Security is at the core of Rosalyn's mission.

Data Protection

We take security and privacy matters seriously and have taken measures to protect our customers' data at all times. Our commitment to  data protection and care for privacy is reflected in how we design our products, how we implement operational security practices and the technology choices we make.

Security of cloud datacenters

For cloud infrastructure controls implementation and verification we leverage a host of AWS security services. AWS SOC Compliance information can be found here . In addition to SOC, AWS ISO and CSA STAR certifications can be reference here:

Security for computing

Rosalyn's security model is based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and SOC 2 Criteria of Security and Confidentiality, with additional controls for compliance with international privacy laws and regulations (EU GDPR, California CCPA, Illinois BIPA, etc.). For the higher education market, Rosalyn specifically targets the HECVAT standard. Rosalyn intends to implement an SOC2 Type 2 audit in 2023

For cloud infrastructure controls implementation and verification we leverage a host of AWS security services.

The target security standards used to track progress are

  • Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark standard
  • AWS Foundational Security Best Practices

For penetration testing of components deployed into production, Rosalyn works with penetration testing specialist vendors.

Risk Assessments are carried out inside Rosalyn and implementation of mitigations are planned as part of sprints.

Data Security

All data in production systems inside Rosalyn are also encrypted in flight and at rest using industry standard algorithms such as AES-256 or protocols such as HTTPS, TLS and SSH. All access to production data is logged. For all cloud resources Rosalyn leverages identity and access management for defining user access and policies for fine-grained user and systems access control across all of our hosting systems. All hosting systems are separated by account level access barriers for further layers of security.  Rosalyn also provides additional controls and governance capabilities, to further protect our customers' users and data.

Special consideration is given to Personally Identifiable Information (PII). All PII data flows are mapped out throughout development of our systems and clearly documented and understood throughout the organization. Lifecycles for all data, including PII is defined and maintained through established processes in order to comply with applicable regulations including GDPR.

Endpoint Security

Corporate desktops and laptops are managed by enterprise device management and endpoint protection software.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

All of Rosalyn's software services are available 24 / 7.

All data stores inside Rosalyn are backed up on a continuous basis. Our main database offers global deployment over multiple regions and disaster recovery from region-wide outages. It uses storage-based replication with typical latency of less than 1 second, using dedicated infrastructure that leaves our database fully available to serve application workloads. In the event of a regional degradation or outage, one of the secondary regions can be promoted to read and write capabilities in less than 1 minute.

We currently target a Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective of under two hours with the goal of reducing this further in Q3 2022.

In accordance with Rosalyn's Business Continuity Policy, the Business Continuity Plan, testing, and procedures are updated and performed annually.

Security Software Development Lifecycle Standard

Through our platform's planning, development, and release processes, security practices are incorporated into the Rosalyn’s Software Development Lifecycle.

Vulnerability Prevention

Our Security Development Lifecycle follows OWASP guidelines.We contract with industry-leading penetration testing providers to examine our production architecture annually.

SSO

The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
  4. Arbitration Fees. If You are unable to afford the arbitration costs, Rosalyn will advance those costs to you, subject to the arbitrator’s determination if costs should be reimbursed to Rosalyn if Rosalyn prevails. For disputes involving more than $75,000, the AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
  5. Conflict with AAA Rules. These Terms govern if there is a conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
  6. Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under these Terms must be filed in Small Claims Court or noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or such claim will be permanently barred.
  7. Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration. If any provision of this Exhibit A is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to as nearly as possible achieve the original intent of this Exhibit, inclusive of the severed provision.

The target security standards used to track progress are

  • Center for Internet Security (CIS) AWS Foundations Benchmark standard

It uses storage-based replication with typical latency of less than 1 second, using dedicated infrastructure that leaves our database fully available to serve application workloads. In the event of a regional degradation or outage, one of the secondary regions can be promoted to read and write capabilities in less than 1 minute.

We currently target a Recovery Time Objective and Recovery Point Objective of under two hours with the goal of reducing this further in Q3 2022.
