Data-in-transit protection
- Data protection between buyer and supplier networks
-
- TLS (version 1.2 or above)
- Other
- Other protection between networks
-
Data supplied on a one-off or irregular basis by the client will be transferred to us through a secure file transfer web portal. This data will then be ingested into a secure Landing Zone hosted in an Azure subscription.
For regular data uploads, the application can integrate with client data sources through web APIs. In this scenario, the data will be ingested directly into the application. All data in transit is protected using TLS v1.2 or higher, with the option of using a VPN gateway if required. - Data protection within supplier network
-
- TLS (version 1.2 or above)
- Other
- Other protection within supplier network
- All data transferred within the service is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or above. File and database access is protected through authentication, and application secrets are securely stored to prevent unauthorised access. Data stores are monitored using Azure tooling, providing threat detection, alerting and proactive monitoring. This ensures data remains protected throughout processing and storage in line with secure by design principles. Private networking is also used across our Azure implementation, including Private Endpoints, Virtual Networks, Firewalls and other controls, avoiding reliance on Microsoft public networking.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
SLA’s on availability and resilience, and any refund due to breaching agreed targets are negotiated at the contractual negotiation.
However, the core service supported hours of operation for the Insights Engine Platform is Monday – Friday, 09.00 to 17.00 hrs, excluding UK Bank Holidays. Any maintenance activities, e.g., patching and updates, will occur outside of the MDS core service hours of operation. Any planned outages that result in service disruption or degradation during the regular service hours of operation will be communicated to all users via email from the MDS Service Desk, providing a minimum of 48 hours’ notice.
The Insights Engine Platform is designed to be available and can be accessed on a 24x7x365 basis; however, it is subject to potential disruption outside of the core service hours as stated.
The Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the targeted duration a service level will be restored after any critical service disruption. The Insights Engine Platform will operate with an RTO of 24 hours (hours of operation).
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the target maximum data loss from the service. The target RPO is 24 hours. As such, all data should be backed up on a nightly basis. - Approach to resilience
- The service is continuously monitored, with unhealthy components automatically replaced. System performance is monitored in real-time, allowing performance anomalies and trends to be identified, and resources scaled as needed. Underlying hardware management, maintenance and replacement is managed by Microsoft Azure.
- Outage reporting
- Email alerts automatically notify the application support team of any system anomalies. The support team will investigate the issue and provide the customers with an update, where required, outlining any outage. A further notification is sent once the service has been fully restored.
Identity and authentication
- User authentication needed
- Yes
- User authentication
-
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Other
- Other user authentication
- Users are authenticated through Entra ID accounts. Only users with relevant Entra ID accounts are able to access the application. MFA is enforced for all logins. Authenticated users are assigned Roles (with a zero-roles-by-default policy) within the application, which control whether they can access the application, and what components within the application they can access.
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- Role-based access control is used, where each user is allocated a role which is applied after they have successfully authenticated via Entra ID. Administrative functions are limited to specific roles. Role assignment is managed by client super users and the Insights Engine support team. When a user attempts an administrative action, the system automatically checks their assigned role and associated permissions to confirm they are authorised to complete the action. Only users with the appropriate permissions can carry out administrative tasks.
- Access restriction testing frequency
- At least once a year
- Management access authentication
-
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Other
- Description of management access authentication
-
Authentication for management access to the application uses the same Entra ID mechanism as for other users, including MFA. Role-based access control limits what users can do – management users are assigned roles with additional permissions in comparison to non-management users.
For infrastructure and data access through cloud administration tools, specific Cloud Administration Entra ID accounts are used, together with role-based access controls in Azure’s management interfaces.

- Configuration and change management approach
- Our formal Change Management process ensures significant changes to our IT systems are undertaken in a controlled manner with relevant notification and approvals. Adherence to the Change Management processes protects all parties involved, minimises risk, ensures appropriate back-out plans are in place, highlights scheduling clashes and ensures that changes are only made after the consideration of likely impacts.
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Vulnerability management is embedded throughout the application lifecycle. Security reviews identify risks in new or updated configurations and are periodically repeated on deployed components. Before each release, DevOps processes include code and infrastructure scanning. Defender for Cloud provides continuous posture and vulnerability monitoring, with issues highlighted through its dashboard. Azure Policy prevents risky configurations. The Security Operations Centre detects threats from network activity and alerts teams for action. Identified issues are prioritised and resolved quickly, either via production patches or through the standard change process, with customers notified if outages are required.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- AtkinsRealis’ Security Operations Centre, together with automated Azure security tooling, monitors for new security compromises. Once raised, these are highlighted to relevant stakeholders in the Insights Engine team, who will convene a group of team members to understand the issue, create a resolution plan, and deploy fixes as required. This may include deployment of an emergency Production patch. Customers are kept informed of actions taken throughout the process.
- Incident management type
- Undisclosed
- Incident management approach
- The Insights Engine incident management process is structured, repeatable, and focused on rapid recovery and continuous improvement. Incidents may be automatically detected or reported by users via support channels. Each incident is logged, classified, and prioritised based on impact and urgency, with clear ownership assigned. Responders follow documented runbooks to contain, mitigate, and resolve issues. Stakeholders are kept informed throughout the lifecycle. Following resolution, a post-incident review identifies root cause, control gaps, and improvement actions, which are tracked to completion to prevent recurrence and strengthen operational resilience.
