Subprocessors

=========================================================== To provide our Services, TruAdvantage may work with third parties or data processors that have access to certain Customer Data (called "Subprocessors"). This page lists the third-party vendors that might be resold to the client, along with potential data Subprocessors. TruAdvantage currently uses third-party Subprocessors for infrastructure services and customer support. Before working with any third party or data Subprocessor, TruAdvantage carefully checks their privacy, security, and confidentiality practices, and sets up an agreement that covers all necessary requirements. Any product or vendor used in delivering services to our clients goes through a review process that includes some or all of the following steps: • Setting up a framework to evaluate and compare options based on business needs. • Researching and choosing the best providers based on independent reviews and industry reports like Gartner. • Reviewing providers through our internal risk management process, which may include a security assessment or checking recent SOC2 or ISO27001 reports. • Testing the product to make sure it works well with existing systems and processes. • Testing the solution in a safe, controlled environment. • Assigning an internal product owner to manage the solution. • Deploying the solution internally within our own business. • Providing training and obtaining certifications to support and use the product effectively. =========================================================== TruAdvantage may use the following Third-Parties or Subprocessors to help deliver services or resell products to clients:
