No.. it does not. Once SSO is enabled, the users are not presented with any password options.
How many key custodians are there?
Super Admin (CTO) and Devops team are the custodians of the key.
If SSO is not technically feasible, every case of not using SSO shall be reviewed & approved by EIS Security Architecture, ISRA. Access is to be provisioned and tracked to all users via unique usernames and passwords. Follow standard password protection guidelines of Providence. IAM team shall be consulted.
Inactive logon sessions are to be locked and require the user to re-authenticate after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Since empluls is SaaS platform this can be configured with the help of the Active directory so that the users who are inactive for more than 15 mins can re-login.
Default accounts must be removed or (disabled/ renamed and passwords reset).
Yes. Account can be created, disabled and password can be reset.
Passwords must be masked during entry rendering contents in the password field unreadable. Passwords must be hashed with salt by using Providence approved algorithm.

Displays to users (workforce members and non-PSJH users) a notification message on acceptable use of the system before granting access to the system that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance and states that: a.1. Information system usage may be monitored, recorded, and subject to audit; a.2. Unauthorized use of the information system is prohibited and subject to criminal and civil penalties; and a.3. Use of the information system indicates consent to monitoring and recording; b. Retains the notification message or banner on the screen until users acknowledge the usage conditions and take explicit actions to log on to or further access the information system; and c. For publicly accessible systems: c.1. Displays system use information before granting further access; c.2. Displays references, if any, to monitoring, recording, or auditing that are consistent with privacy accommodations for such systems that generally prohibit those activities; and c.3. Includes a description of the authorized uses of the system.
Following 6 failed login attempts, the system or service shall be configured to either disable an account for 15 minutes or lock users out for at least 30 minutes.
Since empluls is SaaS platform this can be configured with the help of the Active directory.
Initial/ default password must be changed upon first login.
Yes. This can be configured and users can reset the password.
Any user-defined routes must be requested and approved by PSJH Cloud Engineering. Subscription owners/ contributors must never add their own Routes.

Implement authenticated session tokens with secure settings.
We have implemented the oAuth2.0 and SAML-based tokens. JSON-based token is available for maximum security direct-email logins.
Non-interactive identities (eg. service accounts) used to authenticate with any upstream/downstream systems (e.g. database) must be identified by the design. The design must adopt a policy of using least-privileged accounts. This needs to be reviewed by Security Architecture on a case to case basis.
At Xoxoday, the access to data and systems are based on the principles of least privilege for access. Accordingly, all information systems and data are classified and further segregated to support role based access requirements. A strong identification and authentication system(AWS IAM) and logging systems are deployed and provides a centralized control to administer, monitor and review all critical access events.
The application must ensure all requests submitted via application URLs are checked against known authorization/access controls of the user to prevent privilege escalation attacks. The application must mandate users and devices to re-authenticate during the execution of privileged functions.
Yes the application have robust authentication methods. The users can re-authenticate a change in credentials and we comply to any attempted change in authentication information. our identity federation standards include SAML 2.0, SPML, WS-Federation and more as means of authenticating and authorizing users with airtight security protocol.
Periodic review of access to be performed, to monitor priviliges.
At Xoxoday we review the access controls on frequent basis.
Remove/disable inactive user accounts according to organizational defined frequency. eg., disables information system access within defined hours of termination and within defined hours of adverse circumstances termination. Terminates/revokes any authenticators/credentials associated with the individual;
We remove/revoke the access of the users upon termination or the access is not required and maintain these records for Audit purposes.
On-demand access reviews to be performed whenever there is a change to the existing RBAC, eg., when a caregiver moves from one department to other, or takes more responsibilities, or assuming reduced responsibilities that may warrent limiting existing access to sensitive systems.
At Xoxoday we review the access controls on frequent basis. Compliant. Attached the Access control policy.

Who all have access to the hosted environment and/ or data? (Include the third party access if applicable)
Access to data and systems are based on the principles of least privilege for access. Accordingly, all information systems and data are classified and further segregated to support role-based access requirements. A strong identification and authentication system and logging systems are deployed and provides a centralized control to administer, monitor and review all critical access.
How is their access controlled?
We have role-based access system through access control policy to make sure that only the authorised individual has access to the required information. An Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution has been defined to manage user access through role-based access profiles that support the implementation of accesses based on the principles of need-to-know basis and support segregation of duties. The approvers are either the Product Heads or respective function Heads are their authorized delegates.
How does the provider segregate the the customer environment from other tenants?
We logically segregate the the customer environment from other clients, each customer is uniquely identified by a tenant ID. It is segregated with a client-specific key for proper handling and security reasons. The application is engineered and verified to ensure that it always fetches data only for the logged-in tenant. Per this design, no customer has access to another customerβs data.
How is data integrity assured? What controls exist over internal processing?
An Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution has been defined to manage user access through role-based access profiles that support the implementation of accesses based on the principles of need-to-know basis and support segregation of duties. Privileges relating to Administration of user access privileges and role configurations are different from the authorized approver that approves access requests. The approvers are either the Product Heads or respective function Heads are their authorized delegates. Developers do not have access to the production environment. Access to the production environment is restricted to a limited set of authorized users based on their job responsibilities
Authorization: Explain in detail how roles are managed.
Within Xoxoday Access to data and systems are based on the principles of least privilege for access. Accordingly, all information systems and data are classified and further segregated to support role-based access requirements. Furthermore, while defining job roles and designing access roles, privileges leading to conflicts of interests are to be avoided. A strong identification and authentication system and logging systems are deployed and provides a centralized control to administer, monitor and review all critical access. We use Active directory and SSO for authentication purposes.
Does the application support multi-factor authentication (MFA / 2FA)? If yes, please elaborate.
Does the provider have access to the customer data, and if so, what restrictions are there over this level of access?
Within Xoxoday Access to data and systems are based on the principles of least privilege for access. Management (IAM) solution has been defined to manage user access through role-based access profiles that support the implementation of accesses based on the principles of need-to-know basis and support segregation of duties. Privileges relating to Administration of user access privileges and role configurations are different from the authorized approver that approves access requests. The approvers are either the department heads or the management.
Who has access to these logs?
At Xoxoday only authorised personnel from our technical team will have access. For Ex β CTO/production head, Devops Lead etc.. The event logs are stores in a bucket wherein nobody can access them without an approval from the high authorities i.e. the Chief Technical Officer.
