ISO/IEC 27001 is widely known, providing requirements for an information security management system (ISMS), though there are more than a dozen standards in the ISO/IEC 27000 family. Using them enables organizations of any kind to manage the security of assets such as financial information, intellectual property, employee details or information entrusted by third parties.

Risk Management

Khoros maintains a documented risk management program with an owner responsible for maintenance of the document and annual review of security risks. In depth risk analyses are performed for all critical systems. Results are documented in a central tracking system and findings are remediated accordingly. Risk assessments are conducted annually at minimum.

Khoros products are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in The United States, Ireland* and Australia*. Physical and environmental controls are specifically outlined in AWS’s Security Whitepaper. Additionally, AWS supports ISO 27001, SOC2 Type II, FedRAMP and FISMA certification, which requires best practice in physical and environmental controls.

Third Party Vendor Management

Khoros engages with third party vendors to provide you services more effectively, where those organizations may impact Khoros’ Security Posture, we take appropriate steps to ensure security is maintained by establishing contractual agreements that require services organizations to adhere to requirements laid out by Khoros.
