This documents describes Worklife Barometer’s Information Security Policy, and the document “Manual on Information Security Policy for Worklife Barometer” describes how the Security Policy is implemented.
This documents describes Worklife Barometer’s Information Security Policy, and the document “Manual on Information Security Policy for Worklife Barometer” describes how the Security Policy is implemented.
The purpose of the Security Policy is to indicate to all employees and extern business partners that the use of information and information systems is subject to standards and guidelines. Particularly to be noticed is that Worklife Barometer’s core product Howdy is subject to the strictest requirements from the Danish Data Protection Agency, as personal information is being processed.
Worklife Barometer therefore wishes to maintain and continuously expand an IT security level that oblige to the legislation at any given time, as well as specific relations emphasised by the Data Protection Agency (up until 25thMay 2018) and as regulated under the General Data Protection Regulation after 25thMay 2018 (GDPR). To guarantee this, Worklife Barometer is cooperating with the company’s legal adviser, currently the legal company Lundgrens.
Maintenance and development of a high security level is an essential prerequisite for Worklife Barometer to achieve credibility.
To maintain Worklife Barometers credibility it must be ensured that information is being processed with the required confidentiality and that complete, accurate and timely processing of approved transactions take place.
IT-systems are considered to be Worklife Barometer’s most critical resource. The focus is therefore on operation, security, quality, compliance with the law and that the systems are user-friendly, without unnecessarily difficult security arrangements.
An effective safeguard against IT-security threats must be installed, so that Worklife Barometer’s image and the employees’ safety and work conditions are secured in the best possible way. The protection must tackle natural as well as technical and human-induced threats. All persons are considered as being possible reasons for a breach of security; meaning that no group of people will be above the security regulations.
The objectives are therefore to:
All Worklife Barometer’s employees are explicitly made aware of Worklife Barometer’s Information Security Policy and all Data processors (who are not processing IT Services) used by Worklife Barometer are informed of the company’s Information Security Policy through Data Processor Agreements and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) (where necessary).
Rules and guidelines from the Information Security Policy are continuously incorporated in the relevant applicable rules of the Staff Policy.
The security concept includes the following:
The policy applies to all Worklife Barometer’s information related activities, whether these are performed by employees at Worklife Barometer or by Data processors used by Worklife Barometer.
The delegated security related responsibility and the connected authority for this policy is generically described/distributed into roles in “Manual on Information Security Policy for Worklife Barometer”.
Disasters are attempted to be avoided through a well-organised surveillance of the utilised IT services. The extent of these precautions is decided from an assessment of risk versus security costs and user-friendliness.
Worklife Barometer’s contingency plan includes the following areas:
The contingency plans must be continuously updated and tested – minimum once a year.
Employees violating the applicable Information Security Regulations in Worklife Barometer can be disciplinarily sanctioned. The detailed regulations on this area is determined in agreement with the current Staff Policy.
This technical fact sheet addresses the most common security and data protection questions as well as compliance standard, backup procedures and data accessibility.

Data at Worklife Barometer is protected at many levels – From ensuring people cannot gain physical access to our servers to data encryption at your mobile device. We build on top of the best-in-class security practices of the Microsoft Azure Platform. Key words are:
For more information see: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/trust-center/security/
Our data center complies with a wide set of international recognized standards including:
For more information see: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/trust-center/compliance/
Data at Worklife Barometer is always replicated at minimum two other servers in our data centers, this ensures that in the event of a hardware failure the system will automatically be able to continue on new hardware without any data loss nor downtime for the system.
Furthermore, every night a backup of the data is copied to a secondary data center located in another geographical region. This ensures that the system can resume service in the unlikely event of major natural disaster.
Whenever data travels – inside the data center or on the Internet – encryption is applied. We use standard TLS 4096-bit encryption between our edge-facing servers and end-user client (mobile apps and web browsers).
Strong security measures are in place to ensure no-one gains unauthorized access to the Worklife Barometer Portal.
Information is only available on a need-to-know basis e.g. agents in a Response Center will only have access a person’s journal once a new case is opened. When the case is resolved then all access to that person’s journal is revoked as well.
End users may register their personal data though mobile apps or through a mobile-enabled website. Both systems uses email and a personal 4-digit PIN-code as authentication mechanism.
Whenever a user opens the App or Mobile Website a login prompt shows. Upon successful validation of credentials, the server exchanges the provided credentials with a cryptographically signed token, which gives access to the granted resources for 60 minutes before it expires. After expiry the token becomes invalid and the client must login again in order to obtain a new token.
These systems have a lower authentication level than e.g. the portal. This is to ease the user adoption and participation of the system. For that very same reason the system are “entry-only” systems. Below is a list of data available on these systems:
No health information is stored directly on the mobile devices.
All communication between the systems is encrypted (SSL/TLS RSA 2048 bits) end to end.
The Worklife Barometer Administration Portal is used to gain access to the administrative tasks for company administrators as well as Response Team personnel for handling calls to end users.
Access to this portal is protected by a personal e-mail and password and either an OTP (One-Time Password sent over SMS) or a TOTP (Time-based One-time Password attached to a personal device).
Upon successful validation of credentials, the server exchanges the provided credentials with a cryptographically signed token, which gives access to the granted resources for 12 hours before it expires. After expiry the token becomes invalid and the client must login again in order to obtain a new token.
Some actions performed in the portal may require reentry of credentials in order to complete the intended action.
All communication between the browser and Portal APIs are encrypted (SSL/TLS RSA 4096 bits) end to end.
