Accessibility standards
EN 301 549
Accessibility testing
Palo Alto Networks provides accessibility documentation for its products, through a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), which outlines conformance with U.S. Section 508 accessibility requirements and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) framework. The company states that its VPATs are designed to demonstrate how its software aligns with WCAG criteria, which serve as the international benchmark for accessible digital content. Palo Alto also notes a commitment to following WCAG and ARIA specifications across its software portfolio, with VPATs available on request, reinforcing that accessibility is evaluated against recognised global standards. VPAT documentation generally includes a description of evaluation methods, such as testing workflows with screen readers (e.g., NVDA), keyboard‑only navigation, and automated analysis tools, ensuring that assistive technology users can interact with key product functions. While platform specific test detail are contained within its individual VPAT, Palo Alto Networks’ published process demonstrates that accessibility testing spans multiple user modalities and aligns with WCAG 2.x conformance expectations. Overall, all platforms participate in the organisation’s broader accessibility program, which supports inclusive use by individuals relying on assistive technologies.

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All service configuration changes follow an ITIL-based Change Control Process. Requests must be logged via the KHIPU Supportdesk and submitted by authorised personnel only. Each change is assessed for technical suitability, security risks, and service impact. Findings are clearly communicated to the customer, who makes the final decision to proceed, including consideration of any commercial implications. This process ensures a full audit trail and that all aspects of the change are reviewed before implementation.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
KHIPU uses continuous scanning tools like Tenable Nessus and Qualys to identify vulnerabilities across servers, applications, and networks. Findings are assessed using CVSSv3 and prioritised from Low to Critical. Asset and service owners remediate issues, with critical/high vulnerabilities patched within 14 days of discovery. The process includes identification, classification, remediation, and verification, with reports provided within five business days post-remediation. Threat intelligence is sourced from vendor advisories, industry platforms, and external feeds, ensuring timely updates and compliance with ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus. This proactive, risk-based approach enables rapid response and strong security across all services.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
KHIPU provides 24x7x365 protective monitoring via its Security and Network Operations Centre using Cyber Managed Detection and Response (CMDR). Servers, firewalls, and critical assets are continuously monitored for abnormal behaviour, trend anomalies, and suspicious logs. Potential compromises trigger real-time alerts, followed by immediate triage, severity validation, and escalation to technical teams. Customers are informed through agreed channels. Response times meet strict SLAs: critical within one hour, high within two, and medium/low within four. This proactive approach, combining automated monitoring, early indicators, and structured escalation, ensures rapid detection and resolution while maintaining compliance and service integrity.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
KHIPU’s approach to incident management is ITIL-aligned and prioritises rapid resolution.

Customers log incidents via telephone, email or support portal with required details. Cases are categorised by priority in agreement with the customer:
P1 – Urgent: Critical outages or major incidents requiring immediate attention
P2 – High: Significant issues affecting functionality, not completely halting operations.
P3 – Medium: Moderate impact, e.g. warnings or non-critical alerts.
P4 – Low: Minor issues, or informational requests with negligible operational impact.

Service-affecting incidents are escalated to 2nd/3rd line teams and account/technical managers. Escalation procedures and SLAs are provided during onboarding, ensuring transparency and accountability.
