MyWay Communications provides a structured support model appropriate to a managed, cloud-based NHS service.
Standard Support is included in the service price. This provides email-based support during UK business hours for service queries, configuration questions, incident reporting, and operational support. Requests are triaged by severity, with service-impacting issues prioritised. User guidance and documentation are also provided.
Enhanced Support is not offered as a separate tier. All customers receive the same standard level of support to ensure consistent service delivery and governance.
There is no additional cost for support beyond the contracted service price. Support costs are included within the overall service fee.
MyWay Communications is delivered as a fully managed service. Customers are supported by a dedicated delivery and support team, including access to a named service contact who coordinates support, configuration, and ongoing service delivery. This role provides continuity and acts as the primary point of contact but is not a full technical account manager.
Cloud infrastructure support and technical issue resolution are provided by the MyWay Digital Health technical team. Customers do not require direct access to a cloud support engineer. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- Case finding criteria, referral pathways, and reporting outputs are customised to reflect local population needs, service configurations, and commissioning priorities. This includes tailoring eligibility logic, referral destinations, data capture fields, and reporting formats so outputs align with local processes and information requirements.
- Service documentation
- No
- End-of-contract data extraction
-
MyWay Communications is delivered as a managed cohort-finding and patient communications service. Data processing, referral generation, and reporting are carried out by MyWay Digital Health as part of the service, rather than through a user-facing data access or export function.
Commissioners receive service-level reports during the contract term, such as uptake and engagement reporting, as part of ongoing service delivery. These reports are provided by MyWay Digital Health and are not generated through a self-service export capability.
At contract end, access to the service is removed. Data is retained and securely deleted in line with contractual terms, data sharing agreements, and information governance requirements. There is no self-service, manual, or automated data extraction provided to users. - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract, MyWay Communications follows a standard end-of-contract process.
On contract expiry, delivery of cohort finding, referral generation, and patient communications ceases, and customer access to the service is removed. No further patient communications or reporting are generated after the contract end date.
The contract price includes delivery of the MyWay Communications service for the duration of the contract, including configuration, cohort identification, referral list generation, digital communications, and provision of agreed service-level reports (such as uptake and engagement reporting).
There are no additional charges associated with the standard end-of-contract process.
Following contract termination, data is retained and securely deleted in accordance with data sharing agreements, patient consent, and information governance requirements. Users do not extract data from the service at contract end.
Any work requested outside the scope of the contracted service, such as extensions to the contract term or additional communications activity beyond the agreed period, would be subject to separate agreement and pricing.

- Description of customisation
-
MyWay Communications can be fully customised to support local case finding, referral generation, and reporting requirements.
What can be customised
Case finding criteria, referral pathways, and reporting outputs are customised to reflect local population needs, service configurations, and commissioning priorities. This includes tailoring eligibility logic, referral destinations, data capture fields, and reporting formats so outputs align with local processes and information requirements.
How users can customise
Customisation is delivered in collaboration with the customer during onboarding and service setup. We configure the service based on agreed local requirements, ensuring that workflows and reporting reflect the local operating model. Changes can be made over time to respond to evolving needs, with updates managed through structured change requests.
Who can customise
Customisation is carried out by our delivery and technical teams in partnership with authorised stakeholders from the customer organisation, such as service leads or commissioners. This ensures all configuration is clinically and operationally appropriate while remaining consistent with governance and data standards.
This approach ensures MyWay Communications is 100% tailored to the local area while remaining reliable, scalable, and compliant.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
MyWay Communications is delivered as a planned, managed service. Patient communications campaigns are scheduled in advance to manage demand and ensure reliable delivery.
Capacity is planned to support agreed volumes, and additional campaigns can be added by agreement without affecting existing activity. This approach ensures that demand generated by one customer or campaign does not negatively impact delivery for others.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
The service has a guaranteed availability of 95%.
This availability level acts as a contractual backstop. Actual availability typically exceeds this level, but only the guaranteed level is committed to.
Service level agreements (SLAs), including how availability is measured and any applicable service credits or remedies, are defined within locally agreed contracts. Where availability falls below the guaranteed level, remedies and any refunds are applied in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract. - Approach to resilience
- Available on request
- Outage reporting
- As the service is delivered through planned activity rather than continuous user access, outage reporting is handled through direct communication rather than automated alerts.
Identity and authentication

- Yes
- User authentication
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
-
Access to management interfaces and support channels is restricted to authorised personnel only.
Support and administrative access is controlled using named user accounts with authenticated access. Permissions are assigned based on role, ensuring staff only have access to the systems and information required to perform their duties.
Access controls are reviewed regularly, and access is removed promptly when roles change or staff leave. Activity within management interfaces and support systems is logged to support monitoring and audit.
This approach ensures that management and support access is secure, controlled, and traceable. - Access restriction testing frequency

- Information security policies and processes
-
Next MyWay Digital Health Ltd operates an ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified Information Security Management System (ISMS). Our approach is aligned with the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit (DSPT), Cyber Essentials, and UK GDPR requirements.
Our information security policies cover key areas including access control, asset management, risk management, secure development, incident response, business continuity, cryptography, and supplier security. All policies are version-controlled and maintained within our Quality Management System (QMS).
Governance and oversight are provided through our QMS Forum, which conducts quarterly reviews. This forum approves policy updates, reviews security incidents, and oversees risk management activity.
Policy compliance is ensured through structured onboarding, mandatory annual ISMS training, staff declarations, and assessment quizzes. Ongoing assurance is provided through internal audits, penetration testing, regular system monitoring, and automated access logging using Azure B2C and Microsoft Sentinel.
Non-conformities and risks are recorded in the ISMS Risk Register and managed through corrective and preventive action (CAPA) processes. Security incidents are triaged, investigated, and reported in line with policy. Any personal data breaches are escalated and reported within 72 hours in accordance with GDPR Article 33. - Software Security Code of Practice
- Yes
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- All platform components are tracked throughout their lifecycle via Azure DevOps and internal registers, with each item tagged to environments, version history, change logs, and test coverage. Changes are formally logged via a structured template and triaged weekly based on impact, urgency, and risk. Security implications are evaluated for every change using an ISO 14971 and DCB0129 based risk assessment process. Clinical and data security risks are flagged for RAQA review. All production changes require pre-deployment review and senior approval, with rollback plans in place. Change audit trails are maintained for traceability, aligned with our ISO 27001 and ISO13485 certifications.
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Our vulnerability management approach aligns with ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and NHS DSPT requirements. Threats are assessed through continuous internal monitoring, NHS Digital alerts, vendor advisories (e.g. Microsoft, Azure), and external intelligence sources including NCSC, SANS, and ISC2. Identified vulnerabilities are risk-assessed for likelihood and impact under our Threat Intelligence & Risk Management SOP. Medium-risk issues are addressed within standard maintenance windows (typically within 14 days). Critical vulnerabilities may trigger emergency patching under formal Change Control. All threats are logged by the RAQA Manager, reviewed jointly with the Development Manager and DPO, and validated via quarterly internal audits and annual penetration testing.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- Protective monitoring is handled by an ISO 27001-certified third-party provider who performs 24/7 logging, anomaly detection, and alerting. This includes monitoring for unauthorised access, system anomalies, and potential compromises. All high-risk alerts are escalated per SLA, with response triage initiated within 1 hour. Monthly monitoring reports are reviewed internally and stored in our ISO 13485-controlled QMS. Confirmed incidents trigger our Incident Response SOP, which includes containment, root cause analysis, and CAPA. Ongoing oversight is provided by the DPO and RAQA Manager. Monitoring coverage and incident trends are reviewed quarterly as part of our internal audit cycle and management review.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- We have a documented incident management process aligned with ISO 27001 and ISO 27035, covering predefined procedures for events such as data breaches, system outages, malware infections, and access violations. Users report incidents via a digital ISMS Incident Reporting Form, which routes automatically to the Regulatory team for triage and classification. Each incident is logged, assessed, and resolved with defined roles and escalation paths. Post-incident reviews and corrective actions are recorded in the CAPA log. Formal incident reports are shared with affected stakeholders and clients on request, and breach notifications follow ICO and NHS DSPT protocols where applicable.
