Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Klyra Shield is designed to be quick to deploy and easy to adopt. OfficeLabs supports buyers through a structured onboarding process to help them begin using the service effectively and safely.
Getting started typically begins with an initial onboarding call to confirm organisational requirements, user numbers, and AI usage policies. OfficeLabs assists with configuring the administrative dashboard, including policy rules for sensitive data detection and blocking, and setting up appropriate access controls for administrators.
The browser extension can be deployed using standard endpoint or browser management tools, or installed manually where appropriate. OfficeLabs provides guidance on deployment options and supports administrators during rollout to minimise disruption to users.
Administrators receive guidance on using the dashboard, reviewing usage analytics, and interpreting audit logs. End users require no formal training and are supported through real-time browser notifications that explain when prompts are blocked and why.
User documentation is provided in digital format, including administrator guidance and usage instructions. Optional remote training sessions, governance workshops, and onsite support can be provided at additional cost under separate Cloud Support services. Ongoing support is available during UK business hours to assist with configuration, policy refinement, and operational questions. - Service documentation

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
Klyra Shield is delivered as a cloud-based, multi-tenant SaaS service designed to be highly available and resilient. The service leverages the availability and resilience features of the underlying cloud hosting platform, including redundancy, monitoring, and automated recovery.
The service does not provide a formally guaranteed uptime percentage or service availability SLA as part of the standard offering. Availability is managed through proactive monitoring and incident response processes, with issues handled via the support service during UK business hours.
In the event of service disruption, OfficeLabs will provide updates to affected users and work with the underlying service provider to restore normal operation as quickly as possible. No service credits, refunds, or financial compensation are offered for periods of reduced availability under the standard contract.
Where buyers require guaranteed availability levels, service credits, or enhanced resilience assurances, these may be discussed separately and procured through additional Cloud Support or managed service arrangements, subject to agreement. - Approach to resilience
-
Klyra Shield is delivered as a cloud-based, multi-tenant SaaS service designed to operate reliably under normal and peak usage conditions. The service is hosted on resilient third-party cloud infrastructure that provides redundant compute, storage, and network components to reduce the risk of single points of failure.
The underlying datacentre environment incorporates high-availability design principles, including redundant power supplies, network connectivity, and environmental controls. Platform monitoring is used to detect service degradation or outages, enabling prompt investigation and recovery. Routine maintenance and updates are applied centrally to minimise disruption to users.
Customer environments are logically separated to ensure that issues affecting one tenant do not impact others. Data is protected through regular backups and controlled retention processes, supporting recovery in the event of service disruption or data integrity issues.
Disaster recovery, business continuity arrangements, and detailed datacentre certifications are managed by the cloud hosting provider and are available on request where required for assurance purposes. OfficeLabs and the software supplier maintain incident response procedures and support escalation processes to restore service availability as quickly as possible following an incident. - Outage reporting
-
Service availability issues are communicated through the support process and relevant service communications. Where an outage is identified, users can raise incidents through email or the online ticketing system and receive updates on status and resolution progress.
The service does not provide a dedicated public status dashboard or customer-accessible outage reporting API. Where outages relate to the underlying cloud hosting platform, information may also be made available through the hosting provider’s published service health communications. Users may receive email notifications for significant service incidents where appropriate.

- Information security policies and processes
-
OfficeLabs operates a formal information security management framework aligned with ISO/IEC 27001. Documented policies and procedures cover areas including access control, data protection, incident management, risk assessment, supplier management, and business continuity. Policies are reviewed regularly to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness.
Overall responsibility for information security sits with a named board-level role, supported by operational security leads who oversee day-to-day implementation. Security risks are identified, assessed, and managed through a structured risk management process, with findings escalated where required.
Compliance with security policies is supported through defined processes, role-based responsibilities, staff awareness activities, and internal review mechanisms. Security incidents and weaknesses are reported through established channels and managed in line with documented incident response procedures.
Third-party services used in the delivery of the service are assessed as part of supplier and risk management processes to ensure appropriate security controls are in place. The effectiveness of information security controls is monitored and reviewed as part of ongoing governance activities. - Software Security Code of Practice
- Yes
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- Configuration items relating to the service are identified and managed through documented configuration and change management processes. Changes are requested, assessed, approved, and implemented in a controlled manner, with records maintained to track components throughout their lifecycle. Proposed changes are reviewed for potential security, availability, and operational impact before implementation. Where changes may affect security controls, additional risk assessment and mitigation steps are applied. Changes are tested where appropriate and implemented in line with defined procedures to reduce the risk of unintended impact.
- Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Potential threats are identified through a combination of vendor security advisories, cloud provider notifications, vulnerability disclosures, and internal review. Reported vulnerabilities are assessed based on risk, impact, and exploitability. Remediation actions are prioritised accordingly. Security patches and updates are applied in a controlled manner and within reasonable timescales based on severity and operational impact. Where vulnerabilities relate to third-party components or hosting platforms, remediation is coordinated with the relevant suppliers. Vulnerability status and remediation actions are tracked through established operational security processes.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- Protective monitoring activities are used to identify potential security events and compromises through review of service logs, alerts, and notifications from underlying platforms and suppliers. Potential incidents are assessed to determine impact and severity. Where a compromise is suspected, predefined incident response procedures are followed to contain, investigate, and remediate the issue. Incidents are responded to promptly and prioritised based on risk and potential impact, with escalation applied where necessary in line with documented security and incident management processes.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- The organisation operates documented incident management processes covering identification, assessment, response, and resolution of security and service incidents. Pre-defined procedures are in place for common incident types to support consistent handling and escalation. Users can report incidents through email or the online ticketing system. Incidents are logged, prioritised based on impact and urgency, and managed through to resolution. Where appropriate, users are provided with updates and post-incident information outlining the nature of the incident, actions taken, and any relevant follow-up.

-
The ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification applies to the OfficeLabs Information Security Management System (ISMS) as defined in the documented scope and Statement of Applicability.
The certification does not cover customer-owned systems, infrastructure, networks, or devices that are not operated or managed by OfficeLabs, including client environments accessed for consultancy or delivery purposes. It also does not extend to third-party platforms or services used by OfficeLabs, except where these are governed through supplier due diligence, contractual controls, and ongoing risk management within the ISMS.
End-user locations, home networks, and personal equipment are not directly certified, beyond the organisational policies and controls applied to remote working. Activities, information assets, or processing operations that fall outside the formally defined ISMS scope are also excluded.
As with all management system certifications, the ISO/IEC 27001 certification is based on limited audit sampling and does not guarantee the absence of all non-conformances.
All information assets, systems, and services within the defined scope are managed in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with risks outside the scope addressed through governance, supplier management, contractual obligations, and risk assessment processes. - ISO 28000:2022 certification
