Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
In all projects delivered by Pivigo, the Buyer plays a critical role throughout the solution design and delivery processes. In short, our goal is to ensure that our solutions meet the unique requirements of the user, so understanding how the user will consume the product is a critical part of the process. Before we build your solution our on-boarding team will sit down with the Buyer to understand the business case: the challenges we aim to address and the strategic goals driving the requirement. Our data scientists will put the supporting data through a stringent health-check to ensure that it is fit-for-purpose for the modelling tasks ahead.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Pivigo ensures that users are not affected by other users of our platform by provisioning dedicated compute resource for each environment used by our clients. As such each of our client’s services are logically distinct from each other and within the client service the ‘staging’ and ‘production’ environments are similarly distinct. We also deploy all services into multi-availability zone Cloud regions and configure load balancing to distribute load according to demand.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Subject to, and expressly excluding downtime due to maintenance, if the Actual Uptime Percentage for an AI Solution (made available through Pivigo Cloud) in any Service Month is lower than 99.5%, Pivigo will credit the Partner an amount equal to the monthly Charges paid by the Partner for that AI Solution in the Service Month multiplied by a percentage equal to the difference between the Availability Service Level and the Actual Uptime Percentage for that Service Month and capped at 15%. e.g. If the Actual Uptime Percentage is 98.5, the Service Credit will be 1% of the monthly Charges paid for the subscription to the relevant AI Solution.
Approach to resilience
All of our customer deployments take advantage of multi-availability zone locations and also load balancing in the Cloud. Should the service fail in one of the availability zones traffic is routed to the remaining deployment and as necessary the service is auto-scaled to ensure service demand can be maintained. In addition the deployments themselves take advantage of 'infrastructure-as-code' which also allows us to redeploy into additional Cloud regions should there be a more persistent issues within the current Cloud region.

Information security policies and processes
Escalation of an incident would be conducted via the Customer Success Manager allocated to the customer's account. In the event of a security incident (deemed a P1) our senior management team is also raised to coordinate the investigation, remedial actions and also conduct a post-mortem (including a Root Cause Analysis) - the primary aim being to identify what process changes are required to avoid future occurrences as well as ensure our response is robust and ensures the client’s interests are maintained.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
The entirety of the service is 'as code' and is provisioned using a CI/CD pipeline. As the service has two AWS accounts the pipeline's merge policy acts to keep the environment's configuration and source code in lock step with one another - where a change is first tested in a staging branch, deployed to the staging environment before being merged in to the production branch and deployed to production. In order to merge changes into upper branches a peer review is conducted. In addition all releases are packaged as Docker images, which are scanned prior to deployment for known vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
All software published to the service is originated from our private git repositories and compiled as Docker images on a per environment basis. These are subject to vulnerability scans when being pushed into deployment.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
All of our customer’s cloud instances (configured as exclusive accounts on our cloud platform) are configured to ship logs for any suspected or malicious activity detected in the service. These are a wide range of triggers that are designed to alert of unusual activity and cover scenarios such as:

Denial of service
Network port sweep
Port probing
Password brute force
Root credential usage
Policy disabling

Logs of these events are centralised in a separate operations account whereby upon the receipt of abnormal behaviour we would investigate and either triage the symptom, close a vulnerability or implement a temporary workaround.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
All service endpoints are monitored and in the event of an availability check reporting as down we would raise a ticket and investigate. In addition we provide customers of the service a customer service and ticket portal where they can also raise incidents in the event the service is unavailable.

Our standard SLA Incident Management support service Monday to Friday (excluding UK Public Holidays) between 08.00 and 18.00

Our incident prioritisation matrix is available in our SLA.

Escalation of an incident would be conducted via the Customer Success Manager allocated to the customer's account.

Social Value

Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

In the past decade we have seen a seismic change in how humans consume information and technology. One of the most transformative ways this has been realised is in the democratisation of geolocation information. Indeed, for many, real-time information about where we are on the globe – everything from traffic updates to public transport information to the local spread of a deadly virus – is literally at our fingertips. As highlighted in a blog from the Geospatial Commission in late 2021, location data has become “fundamentally embedded in our daily lives.” It is essential to the provision of information products and services. The Commission itself is looking at measuring the economic, social and environmental value of location data, both within government and the private sector. While this value will be challenging to quantify, it’s clear there is great value in enabling more people to have access to these products and services.

Pivigo’s Provadis is an AI product that helps to drive the accessibility of this value. It contains a set of features that act as building blocks to provide bespoke location intelligence solutions. Provadis offers deep insights and predictive intelligence across time and space using a range of data-driven geospatial models.

By combining modular functionalities such as data gathering, machine learning and layered visualisations, Provadis can be used to tackle complex challenges, such as identifying optimal sites for commercial / industrial facilities or location optimisation for facilities such as electric vehicle charging stations, retail locations or other operations. The knock-on effects of these initiatives will include improved operational efficiency, reduced energy consumption for delivery and increased adoption of more environmentally friendly forms of vehicle fuel. Ultimately, this will result in positive impacts on the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of individuals across the UK.
