LENDHAUS SECURITY STATEMENT

At Lendhaus, we enforce the strictest levels of security to safeguard your data.

Our customers trust us with the security, privacy, and integrity of their data and our first priority is to maintain our customers’ trust in us.

Lendhaus has been conceived and engineered from day one by applying secure-by-design principles.

Our approach to protecting data and our security model are based on industry best practices and our decades-long experience in providing protection from evolving data security and privacy vulnerabilities and threats. Our software and security infrastructure is architected to deliver the highest levels of security whilst we continue to monitor and learn from the evolving global security and privacy landscape, adapting and optimising our security mechanisms and practices.

Application Security

The secure development and deployment of the Lendhaus platform software is enabled by the following:

  • All software developed by Lendhaus is automatically checked and protected by integrated tools from the most prominent security threats as identified by the globally recognised OWASP Foundation (Open Web Application Security Project).
  • Each Lendhaus software release or change is automatically scanned and assessed for security vulnerabilities using automated static code analysis tools before being deployed to the production environment
  • The software infrastructure used by Lendhaus automatically incorporates the latest security features into the Lendhaus software platform.
  • Strict role-based technical staff access ensures only appropriate staff have access to modify and deploy Lendhaus software to specific environments.
  • Lendhaus software development staff are versed in secure software design, implementation and testing techniques and practices.

The protective capabilities built into the Lendhaus platform include the following:

  • All user access to Lendhaus is initiated via password-protected user authentication on a login page. The user’s password is not stored by Lendhaus. Instead, a one-way cryptographic hash of the password is stored when the user first specifies or updates their password.  This hash cannot be reverse engineered to re-create the password.
  • All online data traffic between users and our servers and services is encrypted using HTTPS and is served over SSL.
  • Our platform incorporates a sophisticated role-based user permission model to ensure users only have access to the user interfaces, functions and data they require based on their specific role/s.
  • Data is stored in encrypted form using an industry standard encryption algorithm.

Infrastructure Security

The Lendhaus platform is supported by cloud-based network, server and software infrastructure protected by world-class state-of-the-art security. This infrastructure security covers:

  • A secure, dedicated and isolated network environment set up as a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) where the secured Lendhaus platform server components reside.
  • Regularly applied patches – including security updates – to operating system software and other software infrastructure.
  • Intrusion detection devices.
  • Distributed denial-of-service mitigation services.
  • Regular risk assessments to ensure compliance with industry standards.

Security Operations

The Lendhaus platform is supported by a dedicated computer security incident response service that:

  • Manages security threats on a 24x7x365 basis
  • Proactively monitors reputable industry sources for security vulnerabilities and uses standard risk rating methods for vulnerability mitigation planning

Compliance

The infrastructure service supporting the Lendhaus platform complies with recognised confidentiality, information security and business continuity standards and is further supported by data centre compliance:

  • SOC2 compliant – assurance that service organisation maintains confidentiality of customers’ information in a secure manner and provides information access to customers when they need it.
  • ISO27001 – information security management.
  • ISO22301 – business continuity management.
  • Infrastructure service is hosted within Amazon’s AWS secure and certified data centres in Sydney, Asia Pacific (Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Bahrain, Seoul, Jakarta), London, Europe (Ireland, Frankfurt) and in the Americas (Northern Virginia, Ohio, Oregon, Canada, São Paulo).

Lendhaus Customer Support Model

Raising a Service Request

Lendhaus provides a comprehensive and highly flexible customer support service. The Lendhaus team uses a service desk system, the Lendhaus Customer Support Portal, to manage service requests from customers.

Customers can contact Lendhaus by raising a service request via the Lendhaus Customer Support Portal, by emailing the Lendhaus customer support address or by calling Lendhaus by phone as shown below:

Customer Support Portal:    https://support.lendhaus.com 

Customer Support Email:    support@lend.haus  OR

Customer Support Phone:   +61 2 8526 5100 – leave a message and Support will be immediately notified.  They will call you back to rank priority and fix timeframes.

Support Times

Standard customer support times are Monday to Friday during business hours from 08:00 to 18:00 for the agreed jurisdictions the customer requires support for based on the time zone of these jurisdictions.

The specific days, times and time zones of support for a customer and the situations and/or conditions under which these supported days, times and time zones may differ are specified in the customer’s Lendhaus Order Form

Service Request Priority

The priority of a service request relates to the immediate impact on the customer.  Lendhaus will set the service request priority according to the criteria shown in the table below. The customer will receive their first response from Lendhaus to their request within the corresponding target first response time as indicated below:

Priority Description Target First Response Time
1 – Urgent System is completely unavailable or seriously impacted with no reasonable workaround. 1 hour
2 – High System or certain functionality is impacted, it could cause significant business impact if not corrected promptly. There is no reasonable workaround. 4 hours
3 – Medium System is moderately impacted but is working within acceptable levels or a reasonable workaround exists. 1 day
4 – Low Non-critical service request. 2 days

# The standard response time clock does not run during weekends or Australian public holidays unless different response timing arrangements are specified in the customer’s Lendhaus Order Form.

The above table shows the standard Service Level Agreement (SLA) levels. The specific SLA levels, target response times and the situations and/or conditions where these target response times may differ are specified in the customer’s Lendhaus Order Form.

Service Request Process

When a customer raises a service request, they are provided with a service request number and receive an email acknowledging their request. Depending on the priority of the service request, the customer may also receive additional information or be contacted by a Lendhaus staff member.

First Level Support If the Lendhaus staff member is able to resolve the request, they will confirm with the customer they are satisfied with the resolution and close the request.
Second and Third Level Support

If the request cannot be resolved and there is a possibility it is a defect with the Lendhaus software, the request is escalated to the second level and is passed to the Lendhaus development support team for further analysis:

If the issue is Priority 1 or 2:

  • The request is escalated to third level and is passed to the Lendhaus development team
  • An urgent fix is prepared, tested and deployed to the production environment ahead of the next official release time window
  • The client is notified by SMS, email and/or phone depending on their specified preferences

If the issue is Priority 3:

  • A fix is planned and prepared for the next official release time window

If the issue is Priority 4:

  • The fix task is placed into the development work backlog for assessment for inclusion in a next release of the system

During the service request process, the service request details on the Lendhaus Customer Support Portal will be updated by Lendhaus staff providing the latest status and once known, will provide the planned resolution and release date of the fix associated with the service request. The service request will be closed once it is confirmed as resolved by the customer or if the service request is not active for longer than one month.

Escalation Process

Although Lendhaus have internal procedures that monitor and internally escalate service requests where required, there may still be situations where a customer may wish to increase awareness of a service request in the Lendhaus team.

  • Customers can escalate a service request if they feel that the normal customer support process is not providing an adequate resolution to their request and is also significantly impacting their business.
  • Customers should escalate service requests if the impact on their business has significantly worsened.
  • Customers can request an escalation either via the Lendhaus Customer Support Portal or by calling the Customer Support number. Once their service request has been escalated, the customer will receive an email from Lendhaus confirming the service request escalation and will be subsequently contacted by the relevant escalation point person via email, phone and/or SMS.
