Authorised changes will already have a document assessing the risk of the change and listing all changes included, unauthorised changes require a risk assessment to be performed upon detection and documented in the task.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls

Any new vulnerabilities detected are assessed, prioritised and mitigated/resolved as quickly as possible.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: All equipment is monitored in real-time using Pervade's OpView system which is an SIEM system monitoring log data and a configuration auditing system. When alerts are generated by the correlation engine they automatically generate tasks for our team which must be dealt with using our documented incident management process. The process defines how potential incidents are to be assessed, whether equiment/services are to be quarentined and how to maintain service availabilily. All incidents are responded to within our support SLA times, i.e. for potentially critical issues, within an hour.
