Configuration changes to security-relevant systems (e.g. firewalls) must be approved by a director and tied to a current business requirement. Copies of internal information security standards and policies are available on request.
• Information security policies and processes: We have a documented Information Security policy, backed up by an Information Security Standards document and Acceptable Use Policy.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management approach: We make use of infrastructure-as-code tools to control key components of our service, supported standard source control tools. Changes to a production environment must be reviewed by a senior engineer before they are deployed. Any configuration change that is identified as potentially affecting security posture must be approved by a director. Software updates that impact security-relevant code require an external penetration test before release.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: We use: Automated tools to check software dependencies for published vulnerabilities. 3rd party scanning tools to check our external attack service. 3rd party penetration testing. Automated updates are enabled for operating systems and key applications. Patches are installed within 14 days, in line with our security policy.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Customers authenticate with our service via single sign-on from their own Identity provider. Although security of these accounts is out of our scope, we do monitor access and report any unusual access patterns to the relevant customer. Within our own infrastructure we monitor use of customer credentials (e.g. API keys) in near real-time. In the event of a potential compromise, there is a response playbook to isolate the environment and investigate.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Post-quantum cryptography secure: Yes
• Incident management approach: We have response playbooks defined for common and anticipated events. Further details are available on request. All suspected or potential security events are reported directly to the CTO.
