Our integrated ISMS is certified to ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, providing an independently audited framework for security and privacy.; ; We utilise an External DPO to provide impartial oversight. Our governance follows the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, driven by a 12-week mandatory training program. We foster a 'See it, Say it' culture where staff are empowered to report potential risks immediately without fear of reprisal.; ; This blameless culture ensures that incidents are treated as opportunities for systemic improvement rather than individual fault. We conduct blameless post-mortems on all logged events, using metrics to drive continuous improvement. This approach, combined with rigorous HR enforcement for wilful non-compliance, ensures a resilient, transparent, and evolving security posture.
• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: Noveva utilises modern DevSecOps, defining SaaS products and infrastructure as version-controlled code. This Infrastructure as Code follows application software governance and quality controls, deployed via automated pipelines.; Changes originate in roadmaps and include functional, security, and resilience requirements. Development occurs in version-controlled branches, with testing in production-representative environments built from the same code and pipelines.; ; Before production release, changes must pass functional, performance, and security validation. Failure triggers a return to development. Merging requires a pull request with peer review and explicit approval. These practices ensure a version-controlled audit trail linked to requirements, enabling traceability and accountability throughout the lifecycle.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: We operate an enterprise-grade vulnerability management program integrated into our ISO 27001/27701 certified ISMS. Our approach combines automated continuous scanning with independent external validation to ensure comprehensive coverage across our cloud estate.; By leveraging national-level cyber security intelligence, we maintain real-time awareness of the global threat landscape. Vulnerabilities are triaged via a sophisticated risk-rating framework; critical risks are prioritised for accelerated remediation, ensuring our defences evolve faster than the threats we face. This technical rigor is supported by a mature security culture that prioritises transparency and rapid risk escalation.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: We utilise enterprise cloud monitoring for automated threat detection across infrastructure and configuration layers. Potential compromises are identified via advanced behavioural analytics and anomaly detection 24/7. Notifications trigger a tiered escalation framework for immediate triage. High-severity alerts initiate a rapid-response protocol with an aggressive, SLA-backed containment window. We mitigate threats using automated resource isolation and credential suspension, followed by forensic investigation. Aligning with premier national cloud security standards, active monitoring and automated blocking replace manual reviews. Incidents undergo blameless post-mortems to drive continuous improvement within our ISMS.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: We operate a robust incident management process integrated into our ISO 27001/27701 ISMS, featuring pre-defined playbooks for common events such as service outages or data breaches. Users report incidents via our ServiceDesk portal.; ; All reports undergo immediate triage based on a Severity x Impact matrix, with critical incidents triggering our 4-hour response SLA. Data protection incidents are managed by our External DPO in line with ICO and DSPT guidance, ensuring independent oversight. We provide customers with full transparency through the Service Desk including root-cause analysis following remediation to ensure continuous service improvement.
