The policies also identify functional responsibilities for managing logical access and security.

Data Protection Flora Logistics processes Personal Data as a data processor solely for the purpose of providing the Services in accordance with documented instructions from the Customer (provided such instructions are commensurate with the functionalities of the Services) and as may be agreed with the Customer.
Flora Logistics implements and maintains appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect Personal Data from unauthorized or unlawful processing and from accidental loss, destruction, damage, theft, alteration or disclosure.
Flora Logistics ensures that employees who have access to Personal Data are bound by confidentiality obligations that limit their ability to disclose the Personal Data.
Flora Logistics applies the concepts of least privilege (minimum authorization) and need to know, allowing only access that users need to perform their tasks. User accounts are created with minimum access rights. Access to information requiring more than minimum authorization must obtain appropriate and separate approval. Flora Logistics applies Multi-Factor Authentication to all critical applications and infrastructure.
