APPENDIX A
This Appendix applies to the Services set out below
Applicable to Security Services: Should an SOW include security scanning, testing, assessment, forensics, or remediation Services ("Security Services"), Customer understands that Secureworks may use various methods and software tools to probe network resources for security-related information and to detect actual or potential security flaws and vulnerabilities. Customer authorizes Secureworks to perform such Security Services (and all such tasks and tests reasonably contemplated by or reasonably necessary to perform the Security Services) on network resources with the internet protocol addresses ("IP Addresses") identified by Customer. Customer represents that, if Customer does not own such network resources, it will have obtained consent and authorization from the applicable third party to permit Secureworks to provide the Security Services on such third party's network resources. Secureworks shall perform Security Services during a timeframe mutually agreed upon with Customer. The Security Services, such as penetration testing or vulnerability assessments, may also entail buffer overflows, fat pings, operating system specific exploits, and attacks specific to custom coded applications but will exclude intentional and deliberate DOS ("Denial of Service") attacks. Furthermore, Customer acknowledges that the Security Services described herein could possibly result in service interruptions or degradation regarding the Customer's systems and accepts those risks and consequences. Upon execution of an SOW for such Security Services, Customer consents and authorizes Secureworks to provide any or all of the Security Services specified in the applicable SOW with respect to the Customer's systems. Customer further acknowledges that it is the Customer's responsibility to restore network computer systems to a secure configuration after the completion of Secureworks' testing.
Applicable to Compliance Consulting Services: Should an SOW include compliance testing or assessment or other similar compliance advisory Services ("Compliance Services"), Customer understands that, although Secureworks' Compliance Services may discuss or relate to legal issues: (i) Secureworks does not provide legal advice or services; (ii) none of such Compliance Services shall be deemed, construed as or constitute legal advice; and (iii) Customer is ultimately responsible for retaining its own legal counsel to provide legal advice. Furthermore, the Customer Reports provided by Secureworks in connection with any Compliance Services shall not be deemed to be legal opinions and may not and should not be relied upon as proof, evidence or any guarantee or assurance as to Customer's legal or regulatory compliance.
Applicable to Payment Card Industry Compliance Consulting Services: Should an SOW include payment card industry ("PCI") compliance auditing, testing or assessment or other similar PCI compliance advisory Consulting Services ("PCI Compliance Services"), Customer understands that Secureworks' PCI Compliance Services do not constitute any guarantee or assurance that security of Customer's systems, networks and assets cannot be breached or are not at risk. PCI Compliance Services are an assessment, as of a particular date, of whether Customer's systems, networks, assets, and any compensating controls meet the applicable PCI standards. Mere compliance with PCI standards may not be sufficient to eliminate all risks of a security breach of Customer's systems, networks and assets. Furthermore, Secureworks is not responsible for updating its reports and assessments, or enquiring as to the occurrence or absence of such, in light of changes to Customer's systems, networks and assets after the date that Secureworks issues its final Customer Report pursuant to an SOW, absent a Change Order or a separately signed SOW expressly requiring the same.
Risk and Limitations: Certain Consulting Services follow a defined sampling methodology, rather than being driven by a specific end result or deliverable. This methodology aims to reduce cost while at the same time minimizing any detrimental impact on the accuracy and reliability of the results. Due to the inherent risks and limitations associated with this methodology, Secureworks cannot guarantee: (i) the outcome of its testing, assessment, forensics, or remediation methods; and/or (ii) that all weaknesses, noncompliance issues or vulnerabilities will be discovered (sub-sections (i) and (ii) together collectively referred to as the "Risks and Limitations"). Customer acknowledges and accepts these Risks and Limitations.

Annex 2 – Information Security Measures
Secureworks Corporate Global Information Security Overview
Secureworks takes information security seriously. This information security overview applies to Secureworks' corporate controls for safeguarding personal data which is processed and transferred amongst Secureworks group companies. Secureworks' information security program enables the workforce to understand their responsibilities. Some customer solutions may have alternate safeguards outlined in the statement of work as agreed with each customer.
Security Practices
Secureworks has implemented corporate information security practices and standards that are designed to safeguard the Secureworks' corporate environment and to address: (1) information security; (2) system and asset management; (3) development; and (4) governance. These practices and standards are approved by the Secureworks CIO and undergo a formal review on an annual basis.
Organizational Security
It is the responsibility of the individuals across the organization to comply with these practices and standards. To facilitate the corporate adherence to these practices and standards, the function of information security provides:
- Strategy and compliance with policies/standards and regulations, awareness and education, risk assessments and management, contract security requirements management, application and infrastructure consulting, assurance testing and drives the security direction of the company.
- Security testing, design and implementation of security solutions to enable security controls adoption across the environment.
- Security operations of implemented security solutions, the environment and assets, and manage incident response.
- Forensic investigations with security operations, legal, data protection and human resources for investigations including eDiscovery and eForensics.
Asset Classification and Control
Secureworks' practice is to track and manage physical and logical assets. Examples of the assets that Secureworks IT might track include:
- Information Assets, such as identified databases, disaster recovery plans, business continuity plans, data classification, archived information.
- Software Assets, such as identified applications and system software.
- Physical Assets, such as identified servers, desktops/laptops, backup/archival tapes, printers and communications equipment.
The assets are classified based on business criticality to determine confidentiality requirements. Industry guidance for handling personal data provides the framework for technical, organizational and physical safeguards. These may include controls such as access management, encryption, logging and monitoring, and data destruction.
Personnel Security
As part of the employment process, employees undergo a screening process applicable per regional law. Secureworks' annual compliance training includes a requirement for employees to complete an online course and pass an assessment covering information security and data privacy. The security awareness program may also provide materials specific to certain job functions.
Physical and Environmental Security
Secureworks uses a number of technological and operational approaches in its physical security program in regards to risk mitigation. The security team works closely with each site to determine appropriate measures are in place and continually monitor any changes to the physical infrastructure, business, and known threats. It also monitors best practice measures used by others in the industry and carefully selects approaches that meet both uniqueness's in business practice and expectations of Secureworks as a whole. Secureworks balances its approach towards security by considering elements of control that include architecture, operations, and systems.
Communications and Operations Management
The IT organization manages changes to the corporate infrastructure, systems and applications through a centralized change management program, which may include, testing, business impact analysis and management approval, where appropriate.
Incident response procedures exist for security and data protection incidents, which may include incident analysis, containment, response, remediation, reporting and the return to normal operations.
To protect against malicious use of assets and malicious software, additional controls may be implemented, based on risk. Such controls may include, but are not limited to, information security practices and standards; restricted access; designated development and test environments; virus detection on servers, desktops and notebooks; virus email attachment scanning; system compliance scans; intrusion prevention monitoring and response; logging and alerting on key events; information handling procedures based on data type, e-commerce application and network security; and system and application vulnerability scanning.
Access Controls
Access to corporate systems is restricted, based on procedures to ensure appropriate approvals. To reduce the risk of misuse, intentional or otherwise, access is provided based on segregation of duties and least privileges.
Remote access and wireless computing capabilities are restricted and require that both user and system safeguards are in place.
Specific event logs from key devices and systems are centrally collected and reported on an exceptions basis to enable incident response and forensic investigations.
System Development and Maintenance
Publicly released third party vulnerabilities are reviewed for applicability in the Secureworks environment. Based on risk to Secureworks' business and customers, there are pre-determined timeframes for remediation. In addition, vulnerability scanning and assessments are performed on new and key applications and the infrastructure based on risk. Code reviews and scanners are used in the development environment prior to production to proactively detect coding vulnerabilities based on risk. These processes enable proactive identification of vulnerabilities as well as compliance.
Compliance
