Patching is applied following a risk-based approach and SLAs while using the change management process to ensure mitigations are deployed. - Protective monitoring type

Fighting climate change
At Atamis, we are deeply committed to combatting climate change. As a SaaS company, our environmental impact is minimal compared to other industries, but this does not mean we don’t have a responsibility to act where we can. Fortunately, as an agile SME, we pride ourselves on our agility and this means we are able to make quick decisions where necessary to drive through change-making policies internally.
We continuously look to reduce the environmental impact of our office; this includes reducing our water usage with awareness campaigns internally and implementing low-flow faucet attachments. We’ve also committed to using only recycled paper in our office for when documents have to be printed. Over the last two years we have actioned a robust recycling scheme and conducted an internal communications campaign to spread the message and ensure our whole team is clear on our standpoint and onboard with our approach.
Following the Covid-19 pandemic, as was the case for the vast majority of businesses, working from home or hybrid working became the norm. We wanted to make sure that our commitment to the environment remained a priority so we introduced a Virtual Office Stewardship Policy. This policy provided guidance on recycling while at home, as well as a recommended list of local retailers providing eco-friendly office supplies should they be needed.
We also work with CLEANHUB, to fight plastic pollution of Earth’s oceans. Through our partnership with CLEANHUB, each year, Atamis is responsible for preventing 2,300kg of plastic from ever reaching the world’s oceans.
Atamis has made an electric vehicle scheme available for employees to partake in.Covid-19 recovery
At the outset of the Global Covid-19 Pandemic, we were fortunate that the agile-nature of our business allowed us to move to remote working relatively smoothly without impacting the service level expected by our clients. Our team was already using individual machines to carry out their work which made the transition over to working from home smooth. We quickly transitioned over to virtual meetings for both internal and external operations.
As a SaaS company, we recognise that our product range, industry and working culture put us in a beneficial position when it came to responding and adapting to the circumstances created by the pandemic.Tackling economic inequality
Atamis endeavours to support the communities it operates within. Many employees live locally, however our hybrid policy also allows us to hire employees in areas that may not have been sustainable prior to remote work being available. We encourage sourcing from local suppliers when appropriate.
We encourage employees to give back to their communities through our Charity Days program, where employees receive 3 paid days dedicated for volunteering. Employees are able to submit local charities for consideration and volunteering opportunities are coordinated throughout the year by the Charity Committee. Further activities are run in the office for local charity support such as Christmas Jumper Day & Bake Sales.Equal opportunity
We are committed to eliminating any form of discrimination within our team and to providing a workplace where all parties can feel safe and valued. With this in mind, we have worked to improve the employee policies we have in place to include the following:
Enhanced Maternity Pay Policy
Enhanced Paternity Pay Policy
Breastfeeding Support Policy
Whistleblowing Policy
Atamis Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
Anti-Discrimination Policy Harassment Prevention Policy Diversity and Inclusion Statement Accommodation Policy Gender Identity and Expression Policy
We work to make sure that all job adverts are written and advertised in an inclusive manner to encourage all applicants.
We are exceptionally proud of the fact that at the time of writing, women make up 56% of our team. This is rare in the tech space but it is also a fact that we are committed to backing up with policies that foster an inclusive working environment for all.Wellbeing
We take the wellbeing of our team seriously at Atamis. Our core values are centred around creating and maintaining an adaptable, motivated and supportive organisation that empowers our employees and our clients to thrive.
It is clear that the Global Covid-19 Pandemic changed many things when it comes to how employees interact with their workplace and how organisations interact with their teams. We saw how much flexible working improved overall wellbeing factors such as work/life balance for all corners of our organisation without impacting productivity or output. As a result of this, flexibility has now become a core value for Atamis as an organisation. Our team values the ability to work flexibly in a hybrid system, and we still have an office space where we encourage team members to come together to collaborate and hold space for in-person meetings.
We also work closely with a local charity BIG MOOSE, which can connect individuals with a therapist tailored to their needs within 24 hours, this is a resource available to all members of our team and a cause we are thrilled to support. Mental health is something we prioritise.
We also believe in peer reviews and encourage the team to celebrate each other. Each month we hold an anonymous vote where two employees are highlighted by their colleagues for going above and beyond. This ranges from the completion of a high quality piece of work to having a truly positive impact on team morale; the two monthly winners receive vouchers as recognition of their contribution.
