In such a case, the data exporter shall be entitled to take the measures foreseen in Clause 5.2.
9. governing law
9.1 The Clauses shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.
10. variation of the contract
10.1 The parties undertake not to vary or modify the Clauses. This does not preclude the parties from adding clauses on business related issues where required, provided they do not contradict the Clauses.
11. subprocesssing
11.1 The data importer shall not subcontract any of its processing operations performed on behalf of the data exporter under the Clauses without the prior written consent of the data exporter. Where the data importer subcontracts its obligations under the Clauses, with the consent of the data exporter, it shall do so only by way of a written agreement with the sub-processor imposing the same obligations on the sub-processor as are imposed on the data importer under the Clauses. Where the sub-processor fails to fulfil its data protection obligations under such written agreement, the data importer shall remain fully liable to the data exporter for the performance of the sub-processor's obligations under such agreement.
11.2 The prior written contract between the data importer and the sub-processor shall also provide for a third-party beneficiary clause as laid down in Clause 3 for cases where the data subject is not able to bring the claim for compensation referred to in Clause 6.1 against the data exporter or the data importer because they have factually disappeared, ceased to exist in law, or become insolvent, and no successor entity has assumed the entire legal obligations of the data exporter or data importer by contract or by operation of law. Such third-party liability of the sub-processor shall be limited to its own processing operations under the Clauses.
11.3 The provisions relating to data protection aspects for sub-processing of the contract referred to in Clause 11.1 shall be governed by the law of the Member State in which the data exporter is established.

12.1 The parties agree that, on the termination of the provision of data-processing services, the data importer and the sub-processor shall, at the choice of the data exporter, return all the personal data transferred and the copies thereof to the data exporter, or shall destroy all the personal data and certify to the data exporter that it has done so, unless legislation imposed upon the data importer prevents it from returning or destroying all or part of the personal data transferred. In that case, the data importer warrants that it will guarantee the confidentiality of the personal data transferred and will not actively process it anymore.
12.2 The data importer and the sub-processor warrant that, upon request of the data exporter and/or of the supervisory authority, they will submit their data-processing facilities for an audit of the measures referred to in Clause 12.1.

• Static code analysis: Security reviews of code stored in Incuspaze's source code repositories are performed, checking for coding best practices and identifiable software flaws.
• Penetration testing: Incuspaze maintains relationships with industry recognized penetration testing service providers to identify and resolve foreseeable attack vectors and potential abuse scenarios.
• Limitations of Privilege and Authorization Requirements – Product access: A subset of Incuspaze's employees have access to the products and to customer data via controlled interfaces, to provide effective customer support, troubleshoot potential problems, and detect and respond to security incidents. Access is enabled through "just in time" requests for access; all such requests are logged.
• Background checks: All Incuspaze employees undergo a third-party background check prior to being extended an employment offer, in accordance with applicable laws, and are required to conduct themselves consistently with company guidelines, non-disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
• Transmission Control – In-transit: Incuspaze makes HTTPS encryption (SSL/TLS) available on every login interface, using industry standard algorithms and certificates. All sensitive interactions with the Incuspaze products (e.g., API calls, login, authenticated sessions) are encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2. Certain information is encrypted or hashed at rest based on sensitivity (e.g., user passwords are hashed, contact/lead data is encrypted at rest); other information such as public web content, images and documents is not encrypted at rest.
• Input Control – Detection: Incuspaze's infrastructure logs extensive information about system behaviour, traffic received, system authentication, and other application requests. Internal systems aggregate log data and alert appropriate employees of malicious, unintended, or anomalous activities. Security, operations, and support personnel are responsive to known incidents.
• Response and tracking: Incuspaze maintains a security incident response and tracking mechanism. Suspected and confirmed security incidents are investigated by security, operations, or support personnel, and appropriate resolution steps are identified and documented. For confirmed incidents, Incuspaze takes appropriate steps to minimize product and customer damage or unauthorized disclosure.
• Communication: If Incuspaze becomes aware of unlawful access to customer data stored within its products, it will notify affected customers of the incident, provide a description of the steps being taken to resolve it, and provide status updates as it deems necessary, delivered via a form Incuspaze selects (which may include email or telephone).
• Availability Control: Incuspaze maintains business continuity and disaster recovery plans focused on preventing outages through redundancy of telecommunications, systems, and business operations, and on rapid recovery strategies. Identified issues are published on Incuspaze's status site and updated until resolved. Incuspaze relies on infrastructure redundancy, real-time replication and backups; all product services are built with full redundancy, and server infrastructure is strategically distributed across two distinct availability zones. Data is replicated and backed up in multiple durable data-stores, with retention periods depending on the nature of the data, and also replicated across data-centre availability zones for fault-tolerance, scalability, and responsive recovery. Additional data resilience policies include: (i) production data is backed up leveraging multiple online replicas, with all production databases having no less than one primary and one replica copy live at any given time, and ten days' worth of backups retained for easy restoration; (ii) because private cloud services are leveraged for hosting, backup, and recovery, Incuspaze does not implement physical infrastructure or physical storage media, nor generally produce or use other kinds of hard copy media as part of making its products available to customers; and (iii) by default, all backups are protected through access control restrictions on Incuspaze product infrastructure networks, access control lists on the file systems storing the backup files, and/or database security protections.
