Jedox Information Security Technical & Organisational Measures

This document is a high-level overview of the Jedox technical and organisational Information Security measures to protect personal data, and ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Jedox Information Security measures are created consistent with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, SOC 2 principles and the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

  • ISO/IEC 27001:2013 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an ISMS including the assessment and treatment of information security risks.
  • The SOC II type 2 report provides evidence of how an organisation has operated its controls over a period of time against trust service principles.
  • EU GDPR is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union. It also addresses the export of personal data outside the EU.

Jedox may undertake to changes these measures at any time according to risk determinations. This can mean that individual measures are replaced with new measures which serve the same purpose but do not diminish the security level.
