2) Installation on our client's private cloud and where availability is determined by that of the client's cloud service. (200 words) - Approach to resilience
- We deploy on multiple servers, with options for multiple data centres to provide resilience. We have strong backup and restore procedures as part of our disaster recovery (DR) approach. Our services are built on High Availability Architecture: We utilize failover mechanisms, load balancing, and clustering to ensure continuous service availability. There is also the option to have other cloud services Azure, AWS inheriting resilience from these services

- Security governance approach
-
Maploom applies a proportionate, risk-based approach to security governance to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information. Overall accountability sits at director level, with directors approving security policies and overseeing compliance. Day-to-day security responsibilities are clearly defined to support effective implementation and monitoring of controls.
Maploom identifies and manages information security risks, applies appropriate technical and organisational measures, and reviews controls regularly. Access is managed using role-based access and the principle of least privilege. Maploom has attained Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certification and complies with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. - Information security policies and processes
-
Maploom’s reporting structure places overall accountability for security and policy compliance at director level. Directors approve all core policies, including the Information Security Policy, Password Policy, Internet Acceptable Use Policy and User Accounts (Joiners, Movers and Leavers) Policy, and oversee their implementation.
Day-to-day responsibility for ensuring policies are followed sits with designated staff responsible for system administration and service delivery. Policies are implemented through defined procedures such as role-based access control, password requirements, and joiner/mover/leaver processes.
Compliance is supported through staff awareness, documented processes, periodic review of access and controls, and management oversight. Policies are reviewed regularly and updated as required to reflect changes in services, technology or regulatory requirements. - Software Security Code of Practice
- Yes
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Maploom uses proportionate, well-defined configuration and change management processes to ensure services are delivered reliably, securely and in line with client requirements.
Service configurations are documented, version-controlled and managed by authorised personnel. Typically development, testing and production environments are separated, and key dependencies are monitored to manage risk.
Changes are assessed for impact on service delivery, security and timelines. Low-risk changes are approved internally, while higher-impact changes are agreed with clients in advance. All changes are implemented in a controlled manner, verified after release, and communicated as appropriate. Emergency changes are documented and reviewed retrospectively. - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
-
We operate a risk-based vulnerability management process to identify, assess and address security vulnerabilities. We apply approved security patches and software updates in a timely manner, prioritising vulnerabilities based on risk and potential impact. Preventative controls are in place to reduce exposure to common threats, including denial-of-service attacks.
Vulnerabilities may be identified through vendor advisories, system monitoring, and routine review of services and configurations. Identified issues are assessed, remediated or mitigated as appropriate, and actions are tracked to completion. Our vulnerability management approach is aligned with Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus requirements. - Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
We use protective monitoring processes appropriate to the scale and risk of its services to detect and respond to potential security compromises. Incidents are identified through monitoring of system and application logs, review of access activity, and alerts from cloud hosting and platform services for unusual or unauthorised behaviour.
Potential compromises are promptly investigated to confirm the incident and assess scope. Where required, containment actions are taken, including restricting access, revoking credentials or isolating affected components, followed by remediation and documentation. Security events are reviewed during business hours, with high-severity incidents investigated immediately and containment actions typically initiated within hours. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach

We manage incidents in accordance with the standard ITL model and coordinated through our standard helpdesk function in Atlassian’s JIRA.
