V7 Data Processing & Security

Organizational Security

Information Security Program

SOC 2 is a widely known information security auditing procedure created by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. 

Third-Party Audits

• Our organization undergoes independent third-party assessments to test our security and compliance controls.

Third-Party Penetration Testing

• We perform an independent third-party penetration at least annually to ensure that the security posture of our services is uncompromised.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Roles and responsibilities related to our Information Security Program and the protection of our customer’s data are well defined and documented. Our team members are required to review and accept all of the security policies.

Security Awareness Training

Background Checks

• We perform background checks on all new team members in accordance with local laws. 

Cloud Security

Access Security

Permissions and Authentication

• Access to cloud infrastructure and other sensitive tools are limited to authorized employees who require it for their role.

Quarterly Access Reviews

• We perform quarterly access reviews of all team members with access to sensitive systems.

Password Requirements

• All team members are required to adhere to a minimum set of password requirements and complexity for access.

Password Managers

• All company issued laptops utilize a password manager for team members to manage passwords and maintain password complexity.

Vendor and Risk Management

Annual Risk Assessments

User Classes

Users on V7 Darwin are divided among Team Owners, Admins, Users, Workforce Managers, and Workers. Privileges across these user classes allows you to restrict read and write access to datasets across your Team. Please refer to documentation on User Classes or the adjacent tooltips within the Members tab of your team settings to learn about these permissions.

Share Dataset

Within each dataset setting there is an option to share a dataset and its export versions with the public. This feature contains a warning popup prior to being switched on when selected. Only Admins, Team Owners, and Users (if users are also the dataset creator) can access this setting. This option is OFF by default for all datasets. Ensure that the dataset sharing option is set to OFF if you would like to restrict public access to it. Datasets with sharing set to ON are visibly marked as "OPEN" on their dataset card.

S3 Integration

Certain pricing tiers within V7 Darwin have access to direct AWS S3 integrations. This setup ensures that image or video data belonging to your business is never stored on V7's servers. Please enquire with our team regarding this option if it is a necessity for your business.

Archiving and Deleting data

Image data within datasets, classes, or datasets themselves can be deleted from the graphical user interface or API. Image and video data is archived prior to being deleted to ensure it can be recovered in case of a mistaken decision.

Worker users are granted access to datasets via the Settings tab within each dataset. Once they receive access, they are able to:

• Request tasks: this system will assign the user a batch of images or video defined in the settings, granting them read and write access to them.
• View any image currently assigned to them.

Workers cannot view images that are not assigned to them, nor can they browse datasets in the same way Users and Admins can. Workers are also restricted from viewing team member settings, billing, and the performance statistics of other users.

V7 stores any of your data which reaches us in AWS S3 servers located in Ireland (EU) and will not move data for storage outside of the EU.

V7 performs quarterly vulnerability tests through Intruder.

V7 performs threat detection and continuous monitoring through Guard Duty.

Single sign on services are available as part of our enterprise tier. Please enquire with our team regarding including SSO into your account.

Access monitoring summaries and alerts are available as part of our enterprise tier. Please enquire with our team regarding access notification and email summaries on information security.
