• The analysis ISMS
• Internal/external audit
• Following an incident
• To implement a new technology or change in legislative requirements.
Brightmine's approach to managing IS and its implementation (i.e. control objectives, controls, policies, processes and procedures) is reviewed independently at planned intervals or when significant changes occur.

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- Brightmine is using agile software development methodologies. All new requirements are recorded in the tracking system, and prioritised and added to a work schedule. During the specification of changes the security implications are assessed and post build changes are tested for vulnerabilities and impact on existing system elements before being released. We have a Technical Lead who supervises this work to ensure and maintain the system's integrity.
- Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Vulnerability management is defined in our in-house Security and Risk management system as part of our ISO 27001 certification, explicitly in the Risk Management Procedure and the Information Security Incident Management Policy. The related Risk Analysis spreadsheet sets out the supporting detail of vulnerabilities in rank order, with their impact and the risk mitigation processes. Software patches and updates are deployed out of hours to maintain system availability for users.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- Identifying potential compromises is guaranteed by our cloud provider by providing performance and security monitor indicators as well a notification system. According to our internal Information Security Incident Management policy all incidents are classified by type and severity, they are recorded, an action plan is defined for closing the incident to minimise or eradicate the potential for a repeat. Depending on incident classification Brightmine are able to react within an hour during normal office hours with a slightly longer response time out of hours.

All incidents are recorded and the Information Security Manager or Chief Technology Officer is responsible to report the incident to senior staff.
