must ensure that persons authorized to Process Personal Data are bound by the same or equivalent
confidentiality obligations as Cornerstone and/or are under an appropriate statutory obligation of
confidentiality.

3.5 Cornerstone shall make available to Customer upon request information necessary to demonstrate
compliance with Processor's obligations set forth in Data Protection Legislation, and allow for and
reasonably assist with audits, including inspections, conducted by the Controller or an independent
third party auditor appointed by the Controller, as follows:
(i) Cornerstone shall at its own cost obtain and make available upon Customer's request
an audit report from an independent auditor regarding Cornerstone's compliance with
the data security requirements of the controls defined in SSAE 18 or ISO 27001 (or
equivalent standard). Such audit report must be issued on the basis of a recognized
standard for such reports.
(ii) In addition, Customer is entitled, at a time and scope to be agreed by the parties, to
conduct or have conducted an annual audit, including an inspection, if and to the
extent the audit report set forth in the preceding paragraph does not meet the
requirements set forth in Data Protection Legislation. Any third party auditor shall
not be a competitor of Cornerstone, and shall, upon Cornerstone's request, sign a
customary non -disclosure agreement to treat all information obtained or received
from Cornerstone confidentially, and may share any such information obtained or received
only with Customer and Cornerstone. Customer shall be responsible for costs of the
audit, and agrees to pay Cornerstone a reasonable fee per audit to be mutually agreed by
the parties to cover Cornerstone assistance with the audit. An

additional audit may take place: (i) if required by a competent legal supervisory
authority of Customer; or (ii) following a Personal Data Breach.

by Cornerstone to address the Personal Data Breach.
3.8 Cornerstone shall provide reasonable and timely assistance to Customer to help enable Customer to
respond to: (i) any request from a data subject to exercise any of the data subject's rights under applicable
data protection laws (including its rights of access, correction, objection, erasure and data portability, as
applicable); and (ii) any other correspondence, enquiry or complaint received from a data subject,
regulator or other third party in connection with the Processing of the Personal Data.
In the event that any such request, correspondence, enquiry or complaint is made directly to Cornerstone,
Cornerstone shall promptly inform Customer and provide full details of the same, except to the extent
prohibited by law.
3.9 Cornerstone shall, upon Customer's request, reasonably assist the Controller in ensuring compliance
with Controller's obligations pursuant to Data Protection Legislation (including security of Processing,
notification of Personal Data breach, data protection impact assessment and prior consultation), based on
the nature of Processing and the information available to Cornerstone

enquiry, Customer may contact Cornerstone's data protection officer at DPC@csod.com.

can be fulfilled by providing information via Customer's portal and/or by supplying readily available
documentation in Cornerstone's possession.

For all applications supported by the Processor, the following controls will be implemented:
(9) Transmission Control
Processor shall maintain suitable measures to prevent the Personal Data from being read, copied, altered or deleted
by unauthorized parties during the transmission thereof or during the transport of the data media. This is
accomplished by:

numbers, credit or debit card numbers) within system transmission; and
- logging relevant security metadata for data transmissions.
(10) Input Control
Processor implements suitable measures to ensure that it is possible to check and establish whether and by whom
Personal Data has been input into Personal Data Processing systems or removed. This is accomplished by:
an authorization policy for the input of data into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and disposal of
stored Personal Data;
- authentication of the authorized personnel;

Docusign Envelope ID: BCA10E34-7E12-88C2-80ED-32AB79A4F229
0 cornerstone
- protective measures for the data input into memory, as well as for the reading, alteration and disposal of stored
Personal Data;
- utilization of user codes (passwords);
- following a policy according to which all employees of Processor who have access to Personal Data Processed
for Customer shall reset their passwords at a minimum once in a 180 day period, or as defined in Processor's IT
Security Policy and in line with potential multi -factors of authentication;
- providing that entries to Data Processing facilities (the rooms housing the computer hardware and related
equipment) are capable of being locked;
- automatic log -off of user IDs that have not been used for a substantial period of time;
- proof established within Processor's organization of the input authorization; and
- electronic recording of entries.
(11) Processor system administrators (if any):
Processor shall maintain measures to monitor its system administrators and to ensure that they act in accordance
with instructions received. This is accomplished by:
- individual appointment of system administrators;
- adoption of suitable measures to register system administrators' access logs and keep them secure, accurate and
unmodified for at least six months;
- yearly audits of system administrators' activity to assess compliance with assigned tasks, the instructions
received by importer and applicable laws;
- keeping an updated list with system administrators' identification details (e.g. name, surname, function or
organizational area) and tasks assigned.
(12) Separation of Processing for different Purposes
Processor shall maintain suitable measures to ensure that Personal Data collected for different purposes can be
Processed separately. This is accomplished by:
access to Personal Data is separated through application security for the appropriate users; and
- modules within Processor's database separate which data is used for which purpose, i.e., by functionality and
function.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that Processor may change its security policies and related security measures,
provided that Processor maintains, at all times, an overall level of security as least as stringent as the one set forth
in this Addendum.

not renewed by the vendor. In order to continue providing LMS access and services to City staff, a
new agreement with Cornerstone must be executed.
A Chapter 252 exemption request related to this agreement was reviewed and approved by the City
Attorney's Office.
Funding is budgeted in the Other Contractual Services account within the Info Technology Systems
Fund for the Information Technology Solutions Department.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER —An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
