What is IBM’s Global Data Security & Privacy Definition? Data Privacy: The ability of individuals to determine when, how, and to what extent information about them is used or disclosed to others • Sensitive personal information (SPI) could be misused to harm a person in a financial, employment or social way. [The USA also focuses on information facilitating identity theft (SSN, account code, PIN, etc.), and on medical information] • Personally identifiable information (PI) includes any data element relating to identified or identifiable individuals • Business sensitive information (BSI) is information protected by a client or other company as important to their business, the improper exposure or use of which could harm them. *IBM’s definition of SPI can be found at: http://w3.ibm.com/ibm/privacy/practices_guidance.html Security:The practices we employ through people, processes and technology to protect information to minimize the potential of a data breach or security compromise All IBM projects must follow foundational Data Security and Privacy standards and policies. 2-Nov-14

Protecting Confidential Information What is Confidential information? Any information that could damage IBM or Client by its misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure is termed IBM Confidential Examples of Confidential information: financial data relating to IBM or Client operations or financial position Product design data and source code during development, and possibly, design data and source code Disclose details of production schedules. Customer / Employee details Who can access Confidential Information? IBM or Client Confidential information can be accessed only with a "need-to-know“ and management approval. You can disclose to third parties only when: Management or client approved or... Confidential non-disclosure agreement signed Approved by IBM Legal Counsel • What if I Fail to comply with IBM security policies • This could lead to: • suspension • termination • other disciplinary action 2-Nov-14
Appropriate security practices must be taken to protect SPI/PI. Why is DS&P Important: Data Security and Privacy Breaches are High Impact / Low Frequency Events? Contributing Factors: • Loss: Accidental, intentional • Theft: Physical, logical • Misuse: Employee, third party • Disclosure: Inadvertent, inappropriate • Access: Unauthorized • Increasing Regulatory Requirements Key Factors: • IBM’s Reputation • Contractual Requirements • Compliance with Global and Regional Regulations and Directives • Client Relationships: “Trust” …. Also impact to individual persons 2-Nov-14
What are the DS&P matters on my project that I should be aware of? • Service applications accessed by IBM team members might contain customer details including the name, address, account and credit card details. These information are categorized as PI/SPI. Any intentional/unintentional disclosure of these through IBM may result in legal liabilities and reputational loss for IBM • Customer information is considered as business sensitive information (BSI). Customer information include business plan, project details, details of the client business processes and procedures and any information of IBM or Servic, which when leaked will impact their business or reputation. • The customized source code is the intellectual property of Service and hence is considered BSI. The source code should not be copied, transferred or replicated. • IBM management and team should understand the implications and evaluate the associated risk before accepting any new access or elevated privileges to the applications or database. This should be done only after a thorough risk assessment and PE approval, and after ensuring adequate controls are in place • All IBM project members must ensure that their laptops are compliant with WST. Project members must check from time to time that all requirements are green in WST. Subcontractors must ensure that their laptops are up to date with the latest patches and updates for their operating system and anti virus software. 2-Nov-14
