Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
All requests are managed on a ticketing system (Jira), each are assessed for effort, risk and business impact. Estimates are developed for each, development is made in separate development environments with unit testing. Code is then promoted to a full test environment where full regression testing is performed prior to release to production.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Information on threats come from a number of sources; NCSC, 3rd party virus protection vendor, software suppliers, vulnerability scanning that is performed monthly and penetration testing. We assess threats as part of a continuous security management programme and deploy patches in most cases immediately after release. Patches that are deemed low priority / require regression testing are scheduled as part of our monthly release.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Monitoring of attempted logins, failed logins, successful logins, source IP addresses, IP address risk ratings, firewall probes, purchasing patterns (given the nature of our platform) including velocity and value are tracked and monitored to identify potential threats. In addition, virus scanners and mail gateway services are constantly running, monitoring and reporting activity. We review on a daily basis and if deemed appropriate a security incident procedure is instantiated. This will typically be within 24 hours.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Our suppliers use SOC2 processes and we used internal ticketing systems for clients to report incidents. We have an internal Security Management Response policy and procedure along with Reportable Events Policy and Procedure.

We advise clients of any reportable incident within 24 hours.

Secure development
