Service scope

Service constraints
Engagements rely on accurate information from the client about existing systems.

Recommendations are advisory; clients remain responsible for implementation and compliance.

User support

Email or online ticketing support
Yes
Support response times
We provide client support via email and our ticketing system. During delivery, your dedicated delivery manager is the first point of contact and will respond to email queries within one working day (often sooner). Support and maintenance SLAs are bespoke – response and resolution times are agreed individually and may include ticket‑based incident management. Out‑of‑hours and weekend coverage can be arranged; otherwise weekend tickets will be picked up on the next working day. We also offer tailored support models for customers with specific needs.

Support levels
A typical support package is tailored to each project and documented in the Statement of Work. We offer priority‑based support (P1–P4) with defined response/resolution targets: P1 incidents can be covered 24/7 at a premium rate, while P2–P3 issues are handled during UK business hours (09:00–17:00 Mon–Fri). Response times range from immediate for P1 to four hours for P3/P4, with resolution targets from four hours to five days. Charges depend on the number of hours and the level of out‑of‑hours cover needed; a standard SLA includes capped monthly support and annual maintenance hours. A named delivery manager is always available and, where required, we can provide a dedicated technical account manager or cloud support engineer.

What the ISO/IEC 27001 doesn’t cover
Our ISO/IEC 27001 certification covers the information security management system for the design, support, hosting and maintenance of secure digital applications, websites, application interfaces and mobile applications, as defined in the certified scope.

Activities outside this scope include:

Customer-owned or customer-managed infrastructure, hosting environments, networks, or cloud platforms where 6B does not have operational control.

Third-party systems, platforms, or services that integrate with solutions delivered by 6B but are operated and secured by external organisations.

End-user devices, local IT environments, and organisational processes that sit wholly within a customer’s internal operations.

Clinical safety assurance, clinical governance, or regulatory compliance activities beyond information security management.

Services or business activities not related to the delivery, support, hosting, or maintenance of digital products as defined in the statement of applicability.

Where third-party suppliers or customer environments are involved, 6B applies appropriate supplier assurance, contractual controls, and risk management processes to ensure information security risks are identified and managed in line with our ISO/IEC 27001–certified ISMS.
