Q5 How are you managing data security?
Tenderwell instances are isolated and hardened on multiple levels:
- We use ISO/IEC 27001:2013, PCI-DSS certified data center for hosting customer Tenderwell instances.
- The data is protected with modern cryptography (TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites (AES 128-bit GCM, AES 256-bit GCM, ChaCha20).
- Further enhancements to the technical security controls specific to your BidNexus instance, such as IP whitelisting, VPN-only access, modification of TLS cipher suites, and more.
Q6: How is business-sensitive information handled, and would any info in BidNexus be part of DevelopmentAid to improve their services, or does it stay with the account holder only?
All information on the BidNexus instance belongs to the client. It can not and will not be used by DevelopmentAid, unless the client shares feedback with us or access to their BidNexus instance.
Q7 How does it integrate with, and benefit from, data in DevelopmentAid’s partner database? And what about the other way around?
Almost any data from DevelopmentAid can be transferred to BidNexus. The connection is only one way. The client can send information from DevelopmentAid into their BidNexus instance, but not vice-versa.
