Information security policies and processes
The data we store in AWS databases (London only) and storage is encrypted at rest with TDE (transparent data encryption) and while in transit using TLS. Policies are enforced by restricting access to virtual machines, databases and any administrative portals. User accounts can be revoked once a person leaves or is no longer associated with the project. All databases are protected by firewall with IP whitelisting rules.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
We use the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM) to manage configuration and change within MadePurple, utilising Infrastructure as code (IaC) so that configuration and change can be identified, controlled and automated. We use Rolling updates and A/B testing to ensure changes are fit for purpose. Automated tests are built into our CI/CD pipeline to test the functionality, security and resilience of our system which includes fuzz testing, vulnerability scans and static code analysis. We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, infrastructure changes and incidents.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, software vulnerabilities, file integrity monitoring as well as cloud configuration issues. All logs are fed in to our SIEM solution so we have real time tracking of security incidents. All machines contain an agent to track software versions which are checked against CVE's as published by NVD and other sources such as OS security feeds. Upon detection of a vulnerability, we immediately move to patch the issue and aim to resolve any vulnerability within 72 hours.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use a comprehensive SIEM solution which provides monitoring, detection, and alerting of security events, anomalies, infrastructure changes and incidents. All logs are fed into this system. We also employ sophisticated industry standard software provided by AWS to monitor our systems for potential compromises, and proactively monitor logs relating to other services not covered by automated threat detection. Upon detection of a potential compromise, we immediately move to patch the or respond to the issue and aim to remove or patch any compromised system within 72 hours.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
We have pre-defined processes in place for common incidents such as compromised user accounts or the detection of suspicious activity. These processes are commensurate with the severity of the incident.

Fighting climate change

Our G-Cloud service is committed to fighting climate change by implementing energy-efficient technologies and sustainable practices across all operations. We utilise green data centres that reduce carbon footprints through renewable energy sources and advanced cooling technologies, minimising environmental impact. Our digital solutions are designed to optimise resource use, promoting energy savings and reducing waste for our clients. This approach not only supports the UK’s climate goals but also encourages the adoption of sustainable practices in the public sector.

Covid-19 recovery

To support the UK's recovery from Covid-19, we have introduced several policies that offer our team members flexible and favourable working arrangements. These policies allow employees to take necessary time off to care for loved ones who may be shielding. We encourage our team to utilise our in-house developed mindfulness applications to support their mental well-being. Additionally, we have implemented remote working policies to accommodate team members who are unable to return fully to the workplace. These measures ensure that our staff can maintain work-life balance while continuing to contribute effectively during these challenging times.
