Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
We use the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) to manage configuration and change within our services, utilising Infrastructure as code (IaC) so that configuration and change can be identified, controlled and automated. We use Rolling updates and A/B testing to ensure changes are fit for purpose. Automated tests are built into our CI/CD pipeline to test the functionality, security and resilience of our system which includes fuzz testing, vulnerability scans and static code analysis. We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, infrastructure changes and incidents.
Vulnerability management type

Vulnerability management approach
We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, software vulnerabilities, file integrity monitoring as well as cloud configuration issues. All logs are fed in to our SIEM solution so we have real time tracking of security incidents. All machines contain an agent to track software versions which are checked against CVE's as published by NVD and other sources such as OS security feeds. Upon detection of a vulnerability, we immediately move to patch the issue and aim to resolve any vulnerability within 48 hours.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, infrastructure changes and incidents. All logs are fed into this system. We also employ sophisticated industry standard software provided by AWS to monitor our systems for potential compromises, and proactively monitor logs relating to other services not covered by automated threat detection. Upon detection of a potential compromise, we immediately move to patch the or respond to the issue and aim to remove or patch any compromised system within 48 hours.
