This Schedule 2 sets out the security measures which VISTA shall take to ensure a level of security for the personal data appropriate to the level of the risk.
- Veezi is a cloud-based application which allows multiple cinemas across the world to run their cinemas. It has a multi-tenant central database, known as Client Management, as well as a collection of single-tenant databases for each individual cinema. The Client Management database contains data for all Veezi customers, whereas the cinema databases contain data for each cinema. Veezi hosts all components including the databases in Microsoft Azure datacentres which have industry-leading physical and network security practices in place. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/security/ for more details. A key benefit here is that Microsoft roll out critical security patches across their environments globally when new exploits are identified.
- The cinema databases are hosted in a datacentre region near the cinemas themselves. Currently, these are:
- West US (Washington) and East US (Virginia)
- West Europe (Netherlands)
- Australia East (Sydney)
- The Client Management database is hosted in the South Central US (Texas) data centre.
- Veezi is secured using the ASP.NET Identity system. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/identity/ for more details.
- Veezi Services personnel have login accounts to the Veezi application and Veezi databases which enables such personnel to access customer data, only where necessary e.g. for occasional troubleshooting as well as to aid customers with various setup and configuration tasks.
- Vista employees who access Veezi data are subject to all of the normal vetting required of any Vista employee, including reviewing and complying with Vista’s internal information security and data protection policies.
Veezi is accessed over https which means that all data is encrypted in flight. User Data stored in the Veezi database is encrypted at rest. In addition, firewall rules allow access to the database only from authorized IP addresses
