  • TLS (version 1.2 or above)
• Data protection within supplier network:
  • TLS (version 1.2 or above)
  • IPsec or TLS VPN gateway

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: DataParQ is hosted within the customer’s chosen cloud environment, so service availability is primarily dependent on the underlying cloud platform and the customer’s selected architecture (for example, single-region or multi-region deployment). DataParQ will be supported and made available in line with an agreed SLA with the customer, including defined availability targets, service hours, incident response and restoration commitments. Where an availability SLA is agreed and not met, service credits or other remedies would be applied as set out in the customer SLA.
• Approach to resilience: DataParQ is designed for resilience by being deployed in the customer’s cloud environment using containerised Docker images, enabling repeatable, automated redeployments and rapid recovery. Customers can implement high availability by running multiple replicas across availability zones, using managed load balancers, and configuring autoscaling for key components. State and metadata can be backed by resilient managed database and storage services with automated backups and point-in-time restore. The deployment supports rolling upgrades to reduce downtime and maintain service continuity. Datacentre resilience is inherited from the customer’s chosen cloud provider and selected regional/multi-zone architecture.
• Outage reporting: Where the service is vendor hosted, outages can be reported through integrated monitoring and alerting. The service can be connected to the vendor’s monitoring and alert systems to detect availability or performance incidents and generate notifications. Alerts can be delivered via email and can also be integrated into customer ITSM/alerting tools (for example, ticketing or messaging) based on agreed operational processes. A status view and incident updates can be provided as part of the operational support approach agreed with the customer.

Identity and authentication

• User authentication needed: Yes
• User authentication:
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
  • Username or password
• Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: Access to management consoles and support portals is restricted using role-based access control and least-privilege permissions. Users authenticate via SSO with MFA and conditional access; administrator actions require elevated roles and, where available, just-in-time/privileged access workflows. Network controls such as IP allowlists, private connectivity and session timeouts reduce exposure. Support access to customer environments is time-bound, approved by the buyer, and scoped to specific tasks. All access and changes are logged, audited and monitored, with segregation of duties and periodic access reviews.
• Access restriction testing frequency: At least every 6 months
• Management access authentication:
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
  • Username or password

• Security governance certified: Yes
• Security governance standards: ISO/IEC 27001
• Information security policies and processes: We follow the information security policies and processes published by the underlying platform providers through their Trust/Security Centres, including formal security programmes with defined security roles, responsibilities and accountabilities, supported by documented policies, procedures and control objectives. Controls typically cover access management (RBAC/SSO), network security policies, encryption, logging and audit, vulnerability management and continuous risk monitoring, secure change management, and incident detection/response. Independent assurance is provided through third-party audits and compliance attestations (for example ISO certifications and SOC reports) and supporting due-diligence packs. Policy adherence is enforced through automated technical controls, monitoring and audit trails, and periodic review and testing (including penetration testing), with issues tracked to remediation.
• 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: Components are uniquely identified and tracked in an asset register/CMDB, with configurations held in version control and Infrastructure as Code. Changes follow a documented workflow: request, classification, impact/risk assessment, approval, implementation, verification and closure. Security impact is assessed against confidentiality, integrity and availability, including dependency review, threat considerations and data protection requirements. Changes are tested in non-production, peer-reviewed, and deployed with segregation of duties. Emergency changes use expedited approval and are retrospectively reviewed. All changes are logged, auditable, and include rollback plans.
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: We assess threats through continuous risk monitoring, automated vulnerability scanning, configuration compliance checks and periodic penetration testing, prioritising by severity, exploitability and business impact. Patches are deployed using controlled change management; critical security fixes are prioritised and applied as soon as practicable, with accelerated deployment for actively exploited issues, and standard updates applied routinely within defined maintenance windows. Threat intelligence sources include vendor security advisories, CVE/NVD feeds, CERT guidance, cloud provider bulletins, and security monitoring/SIEM alerts. Remediation is tracked to closure with evidence and audit logs.
• Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: We use continuous logging and monitoring to identify potential compromise, including authentication anomalies, privilege changes, suspicious API activity, data exfiltration indicators, and malware/ransomware signals. Alerts are correlated in monitoring/SIEM tools and triaged against baselines and threat intelligence. On detection, we follow an incident runbook: contain (isolate accounts/workloads), investigate (logs, timelines), eradicate (patch/credential rotation), and recover (restore, validate). Response times are severity-based: critical incidents are engaged immediately under 24/7 cover, with rapid escalation to platform security teams; lower-severity events are handled in business hours.
• 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: Documented incident management process with pre-defined runbooks for common events (for example service outage, security incident, data access anomaly and failed deployments). Users report incidents via online ticketing and email, with escalation paths for critical issues. Incidents are triaged by severity, assigned an owner, and managed through containment, remediation, recovery and post-incident review. We provide status updates during resolution and issue an incident report where required, typically including timeline, impact, root cause (where available), corrective actions and prevention measures, aligned to the underlying platform’s incident communications.
