Insightful Technology operates an Information Security Management System (ISMS) supported by documented policies and procedures, including an ISMS scope, risk assessment and risk treatment methodology, a Statement of Applicability, an Incident Reporting Procedure, a Business Continuity Management Policy, and controls for secure storage and transfer of electronic information.
Reporting structure: The Chief Operating Officer (COO) acts as the Information Security Manager and is responsible for ensuring the ISMS is implemented and maintained, coordinating day-to-day security activities, and reporting ISMS performance to senior management. The Senior Management team reviews the ISMS at least annually (and following significant change) and records minutes/actions.
Ensuring policies are followed: The COO/ISM ensures staff and appropriate external parties are familiar with security policies via email communications and defined reporting routes. All security incidents or weaknesses must be reported via the Incident Reporting Procedure. All staff are required to complete annual security awareness training, pass an assessed multiple-choice test (with re-take if required), receive a completion certificate, and annually confirm their understanding and commitment to key information security policies and procedures. - 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
- We manage configuration and change through OMS change tickets, which track components from request to closure. A change is raised using a Normal, Standard, or Emergency template and submitted for authorisation (Stage: Submission; Status: Submitted for Authorization). A Change Manager approves, rejects, or requests more information. In planning we assess security impact by recording Impact, rollout plan, backout plan, checklist, and downtime. The plan is reviewed by an Approval Manager before implementation. Implementation tasks are executed and marked complete, with Status set to Backout if issues arise. Completed changes move to Review and then Close with a closure code.
- 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 process is governed by our Operational Management System (OMS). We identify threats through monthly vulnerability scans and ad-hoc alerts from Microsoft Technet Security Updates, NVD (nist.gov) and relevant sources. Scan results are ranked Critical/High/Medium/Low and drive remediation targets: Critical <7 days, High <1 month, Medium <2 months, Low <3 months. Patches are deployed using our patch management platform; critical issues are patched immediately within 7 days and prior-month High items in the current month. For urgent items, we open a security incident ticket, assess relevance/impact, test in a test system, then raise a change request for implementation.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- We use automated monitoring and SEIM to detect potential compromises in real time. Alerts are categorised by severity and trigger immediate ticket creation and email notifications to engineers. Incident response follows ITIL-based processes: audit log analysis, firewall adjustments, and escalation to the Information Security Manager and COO for critical issues. Priority 1 incidents are acknowledged within 15 minutes and updated hourly until resolved. Priority 2 incidents receive updates every 4 hours, and Priority 3 incidents every business day. Customers are informed through ticket updates and email notifications during mitigation.
- 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 use predefined processes for common events (e.g., unlocked devices, password disclosure, malware alerts, media/data loss). Users and customers log incidents via our service desk (email, system UI, IM or phone); tickets are categorised by severity (S1–S4) and security incidents are escalated to the COO/Information Security Manager. The ISM triages and, where required, escalates to pre-identified incident leads; progress is tracked through updates to the security incident ticket. Customers receive status updates via ticket replies (hourly if resolution exceeds 1 hour) and a closure report using a Security Incident Resolution Template, including the resolution and lessons learned.
