Software Security Code of Practice
Yes

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
Application changes, including functional releases, follow the formal systems development lifecycle. We use software to log change requests, set priorities, route work through each stage, and control deployment to production. Workflow status, approvals, and implementation details are recorded to provide an audit trail and support timely review management. The tracking tool also supports defect and management reporting. A version-control system governs source-code access and enables rollback. Only authorised accounts can migrate tested, approved code to production. Separate development and test environments reinforce segregation of duties between production and development.
Vulnerability management type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Thomson Reuters' Information Security Risk team provides vulnerability scanning and policy compliance services for product and technology teams, including internal and external scanning and configuration compliance. Internet-facing sites on our global network are scanned periodically as part of our vulnerability management program.

Systems managed by Thomson Reuters, directly or indirectly, are scanned regularly to reduce compromise risk and help prevent service disruption or reputational harm. Enterprise Security Services performs scans using an industry-leading tool.
Protective monitoring type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Thomson Reuters performs automated and centralized logging of the different technology assets across our environment to provide real-time alerting, event correlation, and retroactive search capabilities. Elevated monitoring of known malicious indicator sets and tactics, techniques, and behaviors (TTPs) are implemented to help better defend critical platforms and services. Thomson Reuters has deployed an industry best practice SIEM (Security Information and Event Monitoring) solution that is monitored by a 24x7 follow-the-sun Security Operations Center (SOC) team.
Incident management type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Thomson Reuters employs a tiered incident management and escalation model based on ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library). Incidents are triaged based on criticality and assigned through incident leads. Incident command follows documented response practices, as well as established communications and escalation practices. Coordination of incidents is cross-functional and includes representation from many Thomson Reuters functions to ensure the proper handling of all incidents. Incident escalation procedures include pre-determined paths and notification protocols if required to the Thomson Reuters Board of Directors and Senior Management Team.
