Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
After the configuration, assurance and technical details are agreed, the On Boarding process for MANAGED PKI is straightforward and typically takes 8-12 weeks. Completion of the On Boarding process concludes with a Key Signing Ceremony. Training is provided on a Pre-Production system at the customer site. Documentation deliverables are reviewed and accepted in the build process.
Service documentation
Yes
Documentation formats

End-of-contract data extraction
Off Boarding is triggered when the customer implements an alternative PKI and wishes to migrate the key pair(s). In any scenario, Entrust can be commissioned to provide a migration plan supported by our professional services to ensure the process is carried out securely, swiftly and with the least disruption.
End-of-contract process
Off Boarding is triggered when if customer wants to migrate the key pair(s), before the keys are naturally due to expire. In this case Entrust can sell the hardware, if usable life remains in it, to the customer at current market rate. In any scenario, we would provide a migration plan supported by Entrust professional services to ensure the process is carried out securely, swiftly and with the least disruption

Scaling

Independence of resources
We operate as geographically independent contingency site in support of the Certificate Factory. This site is examined as part of all our compliance assessments. The contingency site benefits from similar facilities to the TSC in terms of networking and power. Contingency tests to confirm the ability to move operations to the site are conducted regularly.
An additional third secure site is used for storage of security components to ensure resilience and to support high availability services.

Vulnerability management approach
We conduct routine vulnerability scans, ITHC and penetration tests in accordance with the ISMS. Internal and external resources are utilised and independent external teams are CREST/CHECK certified. All vulnerabilities are assessed and appropriate treatment plans are formulated and tracked.
AlienVault’s Unified Security Manager is used to conduct internal vulnerability scans and reporting.
Our Patch Management Policy sets out specific timescales for systems patching and provides for Critical/Emergency patches to be applied as soon as is operationally possible.
Automated tools, GFI LANGuard, are deployed to monitor and manage patching levels.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Splunk is deployed to monitor, report, alert to any potential security issues.
Logs are controlled and protected so they cannot be manipulated. Networks are synchronised from a single trusted time source.
Operations Staff are trained in the deployment, management and analysis of automated tools.
We have a Protective Monitoring policy that fits closely with its Incident Management & Reporting Policy. When an event is identified, trained personnel respond in accordance with Security Incident policies.
Incidents are responded to as soon as is operationally possible and assessment is made as to how the occurrence is managed.

Incident reports are generated upon completed investigation and these are shared with interested parties under NDA, as required contractually, legally, regulatory. All incidents are reported to the Security Management Forum and subsequently to the Board of Directors.
