Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
During the term of Customer’s subscription, the Service will perform in accordance with and subject to the Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) documented at https://www.rapid7.com/legal/sla/. Rapid7’s target is 100% System Availability. If the System Availability during a given month is less than 99.95%, Customer may be eligible for a credit as detailed below (“Service Credit”), which is the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the SLA.
Approach to resilience
"Rapid7 maintains a Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform. The primary goal of this plan is to ensure organizational stability, as well as coordinate recovery of critical business functions in managing and supporting business recovery in the event of disruption or disaster. Thus, the plan accomplishes the following:
Ensures critical functions can continue during and after a disaster with minimal interruption;
Identifies and decreases potential threats and exposures; and
Promotes awareness of critical interdependencies.
We can share a high-level overview of our Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform upon request."

The application provides single-sign-on authentication with the following sources:
• LDAP (including Microsoft Active Directory)
• Kerberos
• SAML 2.0 via external identity provider (IdP-initiated login only)
The application also continues to support its two internal user account stores:
• XML file lists default “built-in” accounts.
• Datastore lists standard user accounts, which are created by a global administrator."

Information security policies and processes
"The Information Security and Information Technology groups are responsible for monitoring compliance with data security policies and procedures. Users found in violation of information security policies may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including 1) removal from any access to company or customer assets, data, or systems, 2) termination of employment, and/or 3) legal action. When required, Information Security will work with Legal and People Strategy to address any instance of non-compliance.

We use a SaaS product to manage and control relevant Information Security policies, which includes version control editors and full audit history. Rapid7 employment policies are documented in an internal employee handbook."

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Rapid7 applies a systematic approach to managing change so that changes to services impacting Rapid7 and our customers are reviewed, tested, approved, and well communicated. Separate change management processes are in place for corporate IT systems and Insight platform systems to ensure changes are tailored to the specifics of each environment. The goal of Rapid7’s change management process is to prevent unintended service disruptions and to maintain the integrity of services provided to customers. All changes deployed to production undergo a review, testing, and approval process.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
The Information Security team is continuously monitoring the Rapid7 network and our product environments in accordance with formally documented vulnerability management processes and procedures. Information Security conducts vulnerability scans on a continuous basis, at least weekly. Rapid7 begins immediate action following the identification of critical vulnerabilities and generally completes the process in well under 48 hours.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
"We use InsightIDR to monitor for suspicious and malicious behavior across our user endpoints, networks, servers, and cloud services. Our InsightIDR configuration uses a combination of user behavior analytics, attacker behavior analytics in the form of curated threat intelligence, and custom alerts.

We only monitor systems that Rapid7 has implemented in our hosting environments and platform, not systems that customers deploy themselves within their environment."
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
"There is a formal Incident Management process in place and we can provide our Incident Response policy. Incidents are handled by the Information Security team and are escalated to Rapid7's in-house Incident Response team when necessary.

Rapid7 uses InsightIDR to monitor on-premises and cloud environments for security incidents. Information Security partners with the MDR and Incident Response services teams to supplement Rapid7’s incident response program. InsightIDR alerts are regularly reviewed by analysts and escalated via a paging system when indications of potentially malicious activity are detected."

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

We take our environmental management and the impact we have on the environment very seriously. We have environmental policies in place and hold the ISO14001 accreditation. Our environmental assessments are conducted annually by an external Lead ESOS Assessor; they are signed-off by the board and compliance reported to the regulator (the Environment Agency). Our environmental policy is published on our website at https://www.bytes.co.uk/company/sustainability/environmental.
Bytes achieved carbon net zero in March 2022 through approved carbon offsetting schemes. We are always seeking to reduce our impact on the environment. We aim to minimise waste, reduce pollutants and use renewable materials. Our offices have recycling facilities for cans, plastic and paper. We aim to reduce our office printing to zero within the next few years.
An Environmental Steering Committee has been established to coordinate environmental activities and drive change.
To drastically reduce our emissions, we have switched to renewable energy. Our Head Office has reached our first milestone of using a specialist 100% renewable electricity provider. We are also exploring options to install solar panels on our Headquarters building.
Other environmental initiatives include installing electric vehicle charging points and encouraging staff to commute to work without the car (setting up a car share network and installing secure cycle parking).
We produce a SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) report that details the companies energy consumption and carbon emissions. This report is produced annually by an independent assessor.
This report provides details of our emissions in Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories. It details the activities previously taken to reduce emissions and also recommendations for further improvements.
For scope 1,2 and 3 emissions we aim to reduce these by 50% by 2025-2026 from our 2021 baseline.
We aim to be Net Zero by 2040, covering our own operational emissions.
