Appendix 2

CenturyLink has implemented the data security measures described in this Appendix and shall maintain them, or an equally secure equivalent, during the applicable term of the Services. These measures generally apply to CenturyLink’s standard services and certain measures may not apply or may be applied differently to customized services, configurations, or environments ordered or as deployed by Customer. These measures have been implemented by CenturyLink to protect, directly or indirectly, the confidentiality, integrity and availability of Customer Data. As used in this Appendix, “Customer Data” means any data, content or information of Customer or its end users that is stored, transmitted, or otherwise processed using the CenturyLink Services.

1. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW, AUDIT REPORT.

Customer will be entitled to receive a copy of the then-available report upon request, which report is CenturyLink Confidential Information. Customer may make such report available to its end users subject to confidentiality terms provided by CenturyLink. Customer will ensure that all Customer Data complies with all applicable laws and appropriate information security practices, and nothing herein shall relieve Customer from its responsibility to select and implement such practices.

CenturyLink will limit access to Customer Data to only those employees, agents, contractors or service providers of CenturyLink who need the information to carry out the purposes for which Customer Data was disclosed to CenturyLink.
   The CenturyLink Program is modelled on the ISO27001:2013-based Information Security Management System (“ISMS”), which establishes the guidelines and general principles used for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining and improving protections for CenturyLink information and Customer Data. The CenturyLink Program, in alignment with the ISMS, is designed to select adequate and proportionate security controls to protect information and provides general guidance on the commonly accepted goals of information security management and standard practices for controls in the following areas of information security management:
   
   • Security policy
   • Organization of information security
   • Asset management
   • Human resources security
   • Physical and environmental security
   • Communications and operations management
   • Communications security
   • Access control
   • Information systems acquisition, development, and maintenance
   • Information security incident management
   • Business continuity management
   • Compliance
   • Cryptography
   • Supplier relationships
   
   CenturyLink has also implemented a formal information security policy and supporting methods and procedures, technical standards, and processes to reinforce the importance of information security throughout the organization (“Information Security Policy”). The Information Security Policy is in alignment with ISO 27002:2013 and is approved by the Chief Information Security Officer. The Information Security Policy outlines the requirements to maintain reasonable security for the Services. Employees and contractors with access to corporate information and Customer Data are required to complete annual security training based on the Information Security Policy. The Information Security Policy includes the following:
   
   • Physical Security Policy for data centers and Office Locations
   • Electronic Use Policy including:
   • Email Usage
   • Wireless Networks
   • Internet Access
   • Anti-Virus control

3. SPECIFIC SECURITY CONTROLS. CenturyLink’s security controls include:
   
   • Logical access controls to manage access to Customer Data on a least privilege and need-to-know basis, including through the use of defined authority levels and job functions, unique IDs and passwords, strong (i.e. two-factor) authentication for remote access systems (and elsewhere as appropriate), and promptly revoking or changing access in response to terminations or changes in job functions.
   • Password controls to manage and control password complexity and expiration. Any password controlling access to the CenturyLink infrastructure must be of a minimum length and complexity.
   • Operational procedures and controls to provide that technology and information systems are configured and maintained according to prescribed internal standards.
   • Network security controls, including the use of firewalls, layered DMZs, and updated intrusion detection/prevention systems to help protect systems from intrusion and/or limit the scope or success of any attack or attempt at unauthorized access.
   • Vulnerability management procedures and technologies to identify, assess, mitigate and protect against new and existing security vulnerabilities and threats, including viruses, bots, and other malicious code.
   • Approved anti-malware software is installed on CenturyLink equipment capable of running it where the risk of infection is high. It is configured to prevent users disabling the software where possible or altering its configuration without authorization. Periodic evaluations are performed to confirm whether systems continue to require (or not) antivirus software.
   • Change management procedures outlining that modifications to CenturyLink technology and information assets are tested, approved, recorded, and monitored.
   • Organizational management designed to ensure the proper development and maintenance of information security and technology policies, procedures and standards.
   • Dedicated organizations with global responsibility for all physical security operations, security systems, access administration, and security controls within all CenturyLink-owned facilities and data centers. Third-party data centers are utilized for certain services and, in such cases, certain physical security and other controls are reviewed by CenturyLink.
   • Security policies which reinforce the importance of physical security of all company facilities including procedures specific to data center physical security. Data center security personnel are responsible for controlling data center access, monitoring local security alarms and managing all reported physical security-related events.
   • CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) commonly deployed as a physical security control in high value facilities to deter, detect and identify intruders. The Corporate Security Operations Center (CSOC) provides global, 24/7 support with remote monitoring, management, administration and maintenance of the CCTV video surveillance systems used throughout CenturyLink.
   • The Central Access Control Center (CACC) supports the distribution of all CenturyLink access badges and administration of access permissions within the access control system.
   • Disposal procedures for different types and classifications of information which are documented and communicated to personnel. Employees have access to secure shredders for hardcopy. Electronic media are disposed of through certified disposal vendors.
   • Pre-employment screening and background checks are conducted on incoming personnel in accordance with CenturyLink human resource on-boarding practices and applicable local law. The checks are dependent on, amongst other things: the role, location, any custom requirements, and can include: identity, drug, criminal, academic and credit checks.
   • Annual security awareness training for CenturyLink employees and contractors working on CenturyLink premises. The training reflects current threats and encourages basic security good practice, access to and knowledge of Information Security Policy and procedures such as how to report an incident. Employees in particular positions receive supplementary security training and if a training or testing issue arises (e.g., internal phishing exercises), further guidance is provided. CenturyLink conducts a continuous program of phishing tests on staff to reinforce the requirement for awareness and good email and browsing habits and to assess the effectiveness of security awareness training. The company intranet and email system are used to disseminate flash announcements on security matters as appropriate.
4. SECURITY AUDITS. Customer may, no more than once per year and at its own expense, audit CenturyLink’s performance with respect to its security obligations under this Appendix (“Audit”). In the event Customer retains a third party to perform an Audit, CenturyLink may require additional documentation be executed by the third party auditor prior to granting access to a CenturyLink facility where Services are provided, and CenturyLink may, at its sole and reasonable discretion, decline to allow a third party access to a data center. CenturyLink shall reasonably cooperate with Customer in its performance of the Audit and shall make available to Customer or its auditors documents and records reasonably required to complete the Audit. CenturyLink shall provide Customer with reasonable access to the relevant facility for the purpose of inspection of the equipment and facilities which are used to provide the Services to Customer. For purposes of clarification, access will not be granted to certain areas of certain facilities (such as data centers) to which CenturyLink does not generally allow access to its customers (e.g. areas which house equipment used to support services for multiple customers). Audit access is subject to CenturyLink’s reasonable security requirements for its most sensitive security policies/materials. Audit access must be within CenturyLink’s normal business hours and must be scheduled at least ten (10) business days in advance, and Customer or its auditor shall be escorted by CenturyLink personnel during the period of access. The Audit and any findings related thereto shall be treated as Confidential Information.
5. SECURITY INCIDENTS AND RESPONSE.In the event CenturyLink determines that a Security Incident has impacted Customer Data, CenturyLink shall promptly take the following actions:
   
   • Notify Customer of such Security Incident and provide periodic updates as appropriate given the nature of the Security Incident and as information becomes available;
   • Take reasonable steps to remediate and mitigate the Security Incident, to the extent such steps are technically feasible and appropriate in the circumstances;
   • Conduct a preliminary investigation into the Security Incident to determine, to the extent reasonably feasible, its root cause; and
   • Reasonably cooperate with Customer in its efforts to remediate or mitigate the Security Incident and its efforts to comply with applicable law and legal authorities, as necessary.
