Risks to our consumer data and information systems are tested, identified and assessed by currently having regular third party penetration requests through IOActive.

Our company exercises appropriate due diligence in selecting service providers, and our management ensures service providers have implemented adequate security controls to safeguard customer information. Every Cost center has at least one “Vendor Manager” to police third party vendors. The Third Party Risk Management Department accesses the risk of a Vendor before they are used, and there is a due diligence kit.

The security measures applied on user access control, data encryption, server security, penetration testing, intrusion detection systems, software patch updates and malicious code prevention are set as defined in the Ellie Mae Information Security Policy which outlines the rules in regards to user access, and requires compliance with the Access Management Standard. When Encryption is necessary it is handled through the Data Classification and handling Standard, and the encryption itself is mandated by the Encryption and Key Management standard. As the primary source for holding data, servers are also governed by the Data Classification and handling Standard. Penetration testing is currently performed by IOActive, and results are analyzed in accordance with the Risk Management Standard and Vulnerability Management standards based on likelihood and impact of a vulnerability. Software is managed by the helpdesk and Information Security, and patches are mandated to reduce vulnerabilities. All devices vulnerable to malware and viruses must have appropriate software installed to detect prevent and isolate infected systems. Software must automatically update and periodically scan for such advices.

The frequency in which the policy is reviewed and updated is well documented. Ellie Mae shall continually review and improve the Information Security Program. The Information Security Policy is regularly evaluated and adjusted annually as a result of testing, monitoring, changes in applicable laws and regulation and adoption of best practices. The Chief Security Officer is responsible for recommending changes, and the Board and/or the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee of the Board is responsible for approving such changes.

In turn all Safeguard Policies and Privacy practices are updated with our local administrators and should any issues arise we can address them immediately and thoroughly.
