12.4.3. implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures which are sufficient to comply with at least the obligations imposed on Client by the Security Requirements;
12.4.4. take all reasonable steps to ensure the reliability and integrity of any TT Personnel who shall have access to the Personal Data;
