Printed copies of the content from the Idlewild Burg Process Portal are not considered valid and are prohibited.

The documents that make up the structure must be disclosed to all Idlewild Burg employees, interns, young apprentices, and service providers upon their admission through the company’s official internal communication channels, in accordance with Idlewild Burg’s Communication Plan, and may be made available through the current HR management software, the Process Portal, and the shared document repository, so that their content can be consulted at any time.

Any changes made to the Information Security and Privacy Policy must be submitted to the CEO or the Administrative Board for approval. After its approval, the policy should be publicized and employees trained.

 

Information Classification

It is deemed necessary to classify all information owned by or in the custody of Idlewild Burg in a manner proportional to its value to the company.

  • Public data – this refers to data that does not require specific protection against leaks, as it may be publicly available.

 

Information relating to employees, the financial sector of Idlewild Burg, and customer information (registration data and documents) is always considered restricted, with access granted only to those who need it to perform their duties and provide the contracted service. To enable proper information control, the access levels described in the General Infrastructure and IT Procedures should be used.

Table and Clean Screen Policy

All employees, interns, and young apprentices working on behalf of Idlewild Burg must be aware of and practice the guidelines and directives contained in this policy, and these must be respected both in activities within the Idlewild Burg office and in home office activities, when relevant to this modality.

The objective of this Clean Desk and Clean Screen Policy is to ensure that data and information, both in digital and physical format, and assets, tangible or intangible, are not left unprotected in the workplace during their use or when someone leaves their workplace, whether for a short period, during breaks (lunch, meetings, etc.) or at the end of the workday.

Employees, interns, and young apprentices must:

  • Use Idlewild Burg’s assets, whether for internal or external use (home office or client site), with care to ensure their preservation and proper functioning.
  • Lock workstations when users step away or leave the workplace to prevent unauthorized access.

In the latter case, always accompanied by an Idlewild Burg employee to ensure the proper destruction of the information.
  • Do not print documents just for your own reading. Read them on the information asset screens, preferably. Pursue a paperless culture, as it reduces information security risks and benefits the environment.
  • If you need to print, immediately remove documents containing personal, sensitive, or confidential information from the printer.
  • If using a scanner or image copying equipment, remove the document to be copied immediately after use.
  • Position desks and furniture so that confidential and sensitive data is not visible from windows, hallways, passageways, or from people who have a view of assets containing data and information, such as screens and papers on desks.
  • After the end of the workday or during an extended absence, keep your workspace clean and organized, documents stored away, drawers and cabinets locked, and your computer or mobile device turned off, especially those connected to a network/internet. While using the equipment, properly close any applications or services that are not in use for your current tasks.
  • Discarding information left in meeting rooms (erasing whiteboards, shredding paper, or other resources used during the meeting).
  • Avoid eating at your workstation, whether in the office or at home, to prevent damage and poor preservation of equipment and documents. Idlewild Burg allows the use of tightly sealed bottles containing only water and no other liquids (such as tea, coffee, soda, juice, etc.) on the tables, but never on tables where there are documents. For these situations, we recommend placing them in the nearest drawer or on the shelf to prevent liquid spills.

 

Any unforeseen or omitted cases in this policy should be referred to the IT department.

  • The Data and Information Confidentiality Agreement, including data privacy, is signed between parties, including internal employees and suppliers/third parties.

 

Device Use Policy

The objective of this policy is to establish standards for the use of mobile devices to ensure information security and compliance with legislation.

A mobile device is defined as any electronic equipment with mobility capabilities, such as laptops, tablets, and cell phones, owned by Idlewild Burg or privately owned, in the case of cell phones used with the approval of senior management, for carrying out professional activities related to the company.

 

  • All Idlewild Burg mobile devices made available must be registered and configured with a unique, personal, and non-transferable identifier, meeting minimum security standards and assigned to a user responsible for their use.
  • The mobile devices provided must be used solely and exclusively by the users who have assumed responsibility for their use.
  • Personal cell phones authorized for use in Idlewild Burg activities must meet the security requirements specified by the IT department.
  • If a mobile phone operator’s SIM card is provided for use in professional contacts, the identification of the SIM card and the person responsible for its use must be kept under the control of the IT department.
  • The use of shared credentials is discouraged. However, in situations where nominal credentials are not possible, credential sharing must be done through the password vault.
  • In accordance with the clean desk and clean screen policy, the device must be locked when not in use to protect against unauthorized access.
  • Following the recommendations of the Clean Table and Clean Screen Policy, mobile devices should be locked when not in use to protect information and prevent access by unauthorized persons.
  • Handle the device with care: transporting laptops on public transport is not permitted; they can only be done via private transport, such as a private car or ride-sharing services like Uber. If transportation is requested, reimbursement for the transportation costs can be requested from the finance department. If you are driving your own car, your laptop should be protected from impacts in backpacks or bags.
  • To avoid overheating, use the notebook only on tables; do not use it on beds, cushions, or pillows.
  • Be mindful of weather conditions; avoid placing your laptop near windows or in damp places.

 

Data Sharing

Only computers provided by Idlewild Burg should be used by employees, interns, and young apprentices; no company employee is allowed access to data on personal computers. All data should be stored in the appropriate folders on the network drive. The IT department should periodically review all existing shared resources and ensure that data considered confidential or restricted has proper access control. If a virtual machine is required for business continuity reasons, it can be accessed via a personal computer, provided authorization is granted by Idlewild Burg’s senior management and in accordance with IT department guidelines.

Everyone at Idlewild Burg should consider information as a company asset, one of the critical resources for conducting business.

 

Data Masking

Idlewild Burg applies the masking of personal and/or sensitive data as a complementary measure to protect information, in situations where data is shared or used outside its original context, or accessed by multiple profiles, provided that its application does not compromise the integrity and purpose of the processing.

The application of masking should consider the purpose of the information use, the level of access granted, applicable legal requirements, and access control principles, including the principle of least privilege.

In cases where access to information is restricted and controlled, based on defined access profiles, and the risk of exposure is considered low (such as in documents for the exclusive use of specific areas), masking may not be applied.

Additionally, in processes that require the full use of data to ensure the proper execution of activities, such as in translation operations assisted by specialized tools, masking may not be applicable due to the need to preserve the context and accuracy of the information.

In these situations, appropriate compensatory controls should be adopted, including, but not limited to, access control, contractual confidentiality, and the use of qualified suppliers, ensuring the protection of information in accordance with legal, contractual, and business requirements.

 

Information privacy under company custody

It is defined as necessary to protect the privacy of information held by Idlewild Burg, that is, information belonging to its clients that is handled or stored in environments over which Idlewild Burg has full administrative, physical, logical, and legal control.

The guidelines below reflect Idlewild Burg’s institutional values and reaffirm its commitment to the continuous improvement of this process:

a) The information is collected ethically and legally, with the client’s knowledge, for specific and duly disclosed purposes;

b) The information is received by Idlewild Burg, processed and stored securely and with integrity, with restricted access and handled only by the people necessary to provide the service;

c) The information is accessed only by authorized and trained individuals for its proper use;

e) Information is only provided to third parties with the client’s prior written authorization or to comply with legal or regulatory requirements.

f) The information and data contained in our records, as well as other requests that may guarantee legal or contractual rights, are only provided to the interested parties themselves, upon formal request, following the current legal requirements.

 

Creating Access and Email Accounts for Non-Employees

Creating accounts and email accounts is not permitted for individuals who are not Idlewild Burg employees, with the exception of interns and apprentices.

If third parties require logical access credentials to systems or tools that rely on email for their proper functioning, the employee’s manager must justify the need and request approval from senior management. In these cases, the third party’s access should be restricted to correspondence related to the performance of their duties within the company, during business hours and in accordance with Idlewild Burg’s policies.

Idlewild Burg service providers should not be included in any Idlewild Burg distribution lists and/or public folders that may contain information intended for collaborators.

 

Access Management

All types of systems that require logical access must have formal control from the granting of access to its revocation.

 

a. PASSWORD MANAGEMENT

  • All access passwords must be changed every 3 (three) months.
  • New users must change their password upon first login.
  • The passwords for accessing the machine, email, and drive must be at least 12 (twelve) characters long. The remaining passwords should follow the definition of each application.
  • Mobile phone or tablet passwords must be 6 (six) characters long.
  • Passwords for accessing the computer, email, and drive should have a level of complexity that includes numbers, special characters, uppercase and lowercase letters. Other passwords should follow this guideline whenever possible; otherwise, follow the definition of each application.
  • The new passwords must not match the last 24 (twenty-four) passwords entered.
  • Passwords should not be saved in the application, much less written down on paper; they should be typed in each time they log in.
  • The use of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA/2FA) is mandatory for accounts with administrative privileges and for access to confidential data. For other standard profile accounts, the use of MFA is highly recommended, with security ensured by password complexity and periodic changes.

 

Logical Access Reviews

The IT department will conduct periodic reviews of access logs, which may be done jointly with the users. Employees, interns, and young apprentices should always report any abnormalities or unauthorized access to their work area.

 

b. ACCESS RELEASE

  • Unique, personal, and exclusive identification should be used to ensure each user’s accountability for their actions.
  • Provide access considering the minimum necessary for the user to perform their functions.
  • New employees, interns, and young apprentices receive access according to the role they will perform. This information must be provided to IT in accordance with the HR Recruitment, Selection and Hiring Procedure.
  • Privileges must be authorized by the management of each area (Administrative Directorate or Commercial and Financial Directorate).
  • The use of generic (non-nominal) users is not permitted, except in systems that do not have this functionality;
  • The granting of access is formalized in the General Infrastructure and IT Procedures.
  • Privilege control is done by user groups or by the role they perform (profile) in order to facilitate privilege management.
  • Administrative or generic passwords, when released, should have specific controls in place. The IT department maintains an up-to-date list of people (Employees/Suppliers) who possess such passwords so that it is possible to perform other revocation and change control operations.
  • The granting of access to suppliers or consultants should be critically reviewed with those responsible for the application; every application should have a designated person responsible for it.

 

c. REVOCATION OF ACCESS

Access revocation may occur in situations such as employee termination according to the termination process, change of role, termination of a contract with a supplier, or request.

  • IT must keep access logs up-to-date so that, upon revocation, it is possible to immediately delete or deactivate user access.
  • Access for employees, interns, or young apprentices who have left the company is blocked following the HR Recruitment, Selection, and Hiring Process.

 

d. Changes in Function and Critical Analysis of Access Rights

  • IT and managers must be formally notified of job changes, following the HR Recruitment, Selection and Hiring Process. The IT department will need to review access and permissions with the new manager.

 

e. SEGREGATION OF DUTIES

  • A segregation of duties criterion for granting permissions, based on “job titles/functions/operations,” should be considered, so that the user (employee, intern, apprentice, client, supplier) only has access to what is essential for performing their job.
  • Changes to privileges must be authorized by leadership.

 

f. REMOTE ACCESS TOOL

  • Access to workstations and servers via remote assistance applications should only be done using authorized tools and always with the knowledge of IT personnel. The tools used by Idlewild Burg and the procedure for accessing them are described in the General Infrastructure and IT Procedures.
  • Access logs should be analyzed periodically to prevent unauthorized access.

 

g. PASSWORD RESET

  • The password reset must be done by the account owner through the system itself. If the password is locked, communication must be made through secure and approved channels such as WhatsApp so that the IT department can unlock it. The IT department must then notify the owner via email that the password will be unlocked or reset at their request, in order to guarantee the integrity of the operation.
  • When a generic or administrative password is changed, this must be communicated to the person in charge and the people who use it.

 

Attack Prevention

a. CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION

Applications, servers, physical access, and resources must have their clocks synchronized to enable thorough analysis of incidents or user operations and ensure non-repudiation.

 

b. INTERNET BROWSING

The Internet is considered an essential tool for information retrieval and work productivity; therefore, its use in workstations is permitted under monitoring. Such monitoring should be able to:

  • Detect the accesses that are being made;
  • Detect files downloaded and uploaded via the Internet;
  • To identify potential misconduct or information leaks.

 

The rules regarding internet use, as set out in the Idlewild Burg Code of Ethics and Conduct, must be followed.

 

c. NETWORKS AND NETWORK SEGREGATION

Given that most of our employees work remotely, the information and applications used by the organization are hosted on cloud servers (SaaS), protected by encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and identity-based access controls. Device security is ensured by endpoint protection solutions (Antivirus/EDR) installed on all corporate equipment, both in the office and externally.In the Idlewild Burg physical office, visitors are not permitted access to the main wireless or wired network. If a connection is required, only wireless network access should be provided for visitors.
