- No
- End-of-contract data extraction
-
To make sure your migration away from Moriyama is a smooth as possible we will endeavour to respond to any requests in a timely manner.
Any offboarding tasks will be treated as support tasks and will draw down on support hours, however if these requests come in after the support contract ends or the current number of support hours are all used up there will be a charge incurred.
Offboarding requests can include, but are not limited to:
• Providing backups of source code
• Providing backups of databases used by production sites
• Liaising with your new agency to transfer relevant hosting details where applicable.
We are more than happy to liaise directly with your new agency if this makes things easier and can provide updates on how much time has been spent so you are fully aware of the requests and tasks.
As part of our standard data retention policy, your source code and data will be retained for 6 months from the end of your final support contract before they are removed from our records. - End-of-contract process
- In addition to the end of contract deletion and data extraction, activities referenced in the earlier question, Moriyama's client engagement strategy will include the following activities as we near the end of the contract, to ensure any exiting clients leave us well: - Establish whether the contract will renew at least months ahead of end of term. - Engagement with the client to capture feedback, conduct exit interviews. - Agree specific end of contract actions such as, deletion of any confidential data or documentation and revoke access to any client systems or software. - Liaise with and handover to new supplier as needed. - Provide an end of contract commercial summary.

Typically this means making adjustments in the design and frontend implementation for mobile/tablet/desktop, for instance in the way menus operate, to support optimised experiences on any device.
Ensuring app-like behaviours on mobile devices is key, such as launching the camera and camera roll for image selection, rather than launching a file picker, and optimising interaction elements for touch screen usability. - Service interface

- Information security policies and processes
- The IT security policy of Moriyama is designed to safeguard company and client data through comprehensive access controls, data protection measures, physical security guidelines, network security practices, incident response protocols, and compliance standards. Access Controls emphasize strong password practices, including length and complexity, with regular changes every 90 days. Multi-factor authentication is mandated for cloud services and remote access. Access is granted based on necessity, following the principle of least privilege, and promptly revoked upon an employee's departure. Data Protection mandates secure storage on approved cloud platforms with encryption at rest and in transit, automated encrypted backups stored offsite. Physical Security guidelines require vigilance with devices containing sensitive data and secure storage of documents. Network Security requires firewalls, updated antivirus software, and prompt security patching. Security Incidents must be reported immediately for investigation, with forensic analysis and appropriate measures to prevent further damage. Breaches are reported to clients and authorities as required by law. Policy Compliance demands employee acknowledgment and adherence, with regular policy reviews to address evolving regulations and technology. Violations may lead to disciplinary measures.

Fighting climate change
Moriyama are committed to fighting climate change and view this as one of the most serious threats humanity currently faces. We support this through a number of elements: 1. Remote working - we are predominantly remote-based, with the team working from home and meeting up occasionally for team workshops and planning sessions, around once per quarter. This means our carbon emissions are greatly reduced by our lack of need to travel to an office space. 2. Travel choices - where we do need to travel for client or team meetings, we reduce the impact of travel by favouring sustainable public transport as primary method, and make use of lift-sharing wherever possible if public transport is not an option. 3. Using Umbraco as our technology partner means we are contributing to sustainable digital development. Umbraco's sustainability team are focussed on moving towards digital sustainability and carbon neutral delivery of digital solutions.Equal opportunity
Moriyama aims to foster a diverse and inclusive workforce, ensuring every employee feels respected and empowered to perform at their best.
We commits to promoting equality and fairness by eliminating unlawful discrimination based on various protected characteristics such as age, disability, gender, race, religion, and sexual orientation.
Moriyama emphasises creating a workplace free from bullying, harassment, and victimisation, where individual differences are valued, and contributions are recognised.
All employees are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with these principles and receive training on their rights and responsibilities under the equality, diversity, and inclusion policy.
Moriyama pledges to provide equal opportunities for training, development, and career progression based on merit, reviewing employment practices regularly to ensure fairness and compliance with the law. The company will monitor the workforce's diversity and inclusion, assessing the policy's effectiveness annually and taking corrective actions as needed.
Complaints of discrimination or harassment will be taken seriously, investigated, and addressed promptly through appropriate disciplinary procedures. The policy underscores the serious consequences of misconduct, including dismissal for gross misconduct. It also acknowledges the legal implications of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination, reinforcing a commitment to upholding equality and diversity within the organisation.Wellbeing
Moriyama's remote and flexible working policy enables team members to structure their work to balance with life commitments and priorities outside of work, recognising this as crucial for everyone's wellbeing. We encourage all team members to engage with team social events but also recognise and respect colleagues' choices to not do so if that's their preference. Moriyama encourages any employee facing workplace stress to reach out confidentially to their manager or safety representative for support. The goal is to identify the right solutions tailored to the individual's needs and the company's capacity to provide support. This can include: One-on-one discussions Evaluating work processes Allowing time for recuperation or considering temporary/permanent role changes Conducting 'return to work' interviews after stress-related absences to plan manageable schedules Adjusting working hours or duties temporarily Offering additional training or support Exploring flexible working arrangements, including remote options Providing more regular supervision or fostering team socialising opportunities if suitable
