Configuration and change management approach
For SailPointSaaS the Agile method is used for software development.Softwaredevelopment processes are ever changing and looking to improve. These changes often include adjustments to the definitions of terms used. At times certain terms are co-opted and the definition evolves with the industry. The term SoftwareDevelopment Lifecycle falls into this category. SDLC at one time described a specific process of varying staging of analysis, development, integration, testing, and so forth. Other methodologies have been developed over time to improve the process of delivering software. For SailPointSaaSsoftware, the term SoftwareDevelopmentLifecycle encompasses whatever process we are currently using to deliver code to ourcustomers.

AWS performs regular vulnerability scans on the host operating system, web application, and databases in the AWS environment using a variety of tools.

SailPoint subscribes to vendor notification services with notifications of newly released patches and updates. Patches reviewed by SailPoint and deemed to be “Critical” are applied within 30 days of release. SailPoint generally upgrades IdentityNow on a weekly basis but can apply a patch within 24 hours if warranted."
Protective monitoring type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
"SailPoint leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host Identity Security Cloud. AWS monitoring tools are designed to detect unusual or unauthorized activities and conditions at ingress and egress communication points. These tools monitor server and network usage, port scanning activities, application usage, and unauthorized intrusion attempts. AWS security monitoring tools help identify several types of denial of service (DoS) attacks, including distributed, flooding, and software/logic attacks.
