SCHEDULE 2a

Technical & Organizational Security Measures

Miso shall implement the following technical and organizational security measures:

1. PHYSICAL SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROLS

Access to Miso business facilities is restricted to authorized personnel only. All business information is protected against access from unauthorized third parties and from personnel without the appropriate security clearance. Miso personnel are required to use personal badges with photo identification so that access to a controlled area is only granted upon identity and authorization verification.

If Miso relies on third party data center partners to host its product infrastructure, these third parties are contractually required to uphold strict physical and environmental security standards, which are or may be audited for SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 compliance.

2. LOGICAL ACCESS CONTROLS

User permissions for Miso personnel are granted on a need to know basis, according to principles of segregation of duties and least privilege. Unauthorized access, disclosure, duplication, accidental or unauthorized modification, destruction and misuse or theft of information are strictly prohibited.

3. ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT AND DATA ACCESS CONTROLS

Account managers are designated for accounts to access Miso’s information systems and resources, in accordance with Miso’s access control policies and standards. Users with administrative privileges are subject to additional scrutiny to prevent abuses and violations of Miso’s internal controls and policies.

4. PASSWORD AND AUTHENTICATION CONTROLS

Strong password standards, including multi-factor authentication, are implemented across the Miso organization. Passwords are periodically rotated and must be kept strictly confidential by all Miso personnel.

5. DATA TRANSFER CONTROLS

Standard security protocols and mechanisms (such as Transport Layer Security protocol) are implemented following industry standard algorithms and certificates for in-transit data.

6. NETWORK SECURITY CONTROLS

Controls such as IDS (Intrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) are put in place to identify incoming attacks and preemptively block malicious requests over Miso’s network.

7. DATA AVAILABILITY CONTROLS

Backup and recovery policies are implemented to ensure availability of Miso information and resources. Your platform can support millions of users and its uptime rate is best in class at 99%. There is continuous monitoring on the availability of Miso’s network and related systems/equipment. Data center and infrastructure partners used by Miso offer industry standard uptime and availability.

8. DATA SEPARATION / SEGREGATION CONTROLS

Within any multi-tenant application, Miso keeps data logically separated to ensure that tenant-specific data is appropriately isolated for each tenant.
