Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Virtual Site Access - Share is built to be inherently intuitive to use and has minimalist design ethos. As such, there is a very short and manageable learning curve. To support the learning process, online training via short, pre-recorded video lessons and short user guides are available, which give instructions on how to use the software as well as its key functionalities and benefits.
When initially deploying Virtual Site Access – Share for the first time, AtkinsRéalis will also provide a short live videoconference call to demonstrate the best usage of the platform and answer any questions, which can be recorded and accessed by the Client whenever required.
In addition, a support line is open during office hours which can be called upon for problem solving and any initial issues.

End-of-contract data extraction
Virtual Site Access - Share provides users with the ability to perform custom downloads of data in a range of different formats depending on the type of survey product being downloaded. Users would be able to extract all the data from the system in a format of their choosing using the download capability. Users with large volumes of data, or many projects and sites, would be able to receive a full download of their data holding for an additional fee rather than having to perform manual downloads.
End-of-contract process
Prior to the end of the contract, notification will be given to the client that access is due to expire to allow time for negotiation or contract renewal. Once the contract has ended and after a short grace period, accounts will be suspended, and data access will be revoked.

Information security policies and processes
The Chief Executive Officer is ultimately accountable for data protection and privacy compliance. Our Project Performance and Risk Oversight function is responsible for creating and taking a strategic view of all areas of information governance, ownership and risk. This function supports and drives a Governance agenda across the organisation and provides the Governance and Ethics Committee, Executive Committee and CEO with the assurance that effective information governance controls and assurance are in place.
The office of the Chief Information Security Officer is responsible for developing and implementing our information security programme. The CISO reports directly to a member of the Executive Committee.
Our annual Code of Conduct training is mandated to all staff and emphasises the importance of information security and data privacy. Additionally, on-line cyber security and data security training is mandated to staff as part of the on-boarding process, with annual refreshers.
AtkinsRéalis is committed to increasing alignment with and certification to ISO 27001 and we are in the process of expanding the scope of certification. ISO 27001 is a key element of our cyber security strategy, and it is our intention that the majority or all of the business will be certified by the end of 2025.

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
Servers and end point devices are controlled using Group Policy to ensure standard configuration, enforce firewall rules, prevent modifications to security configuration and control installation of software. We engage a 3rd party to review each operating system build during the release process.
Our formal Change Management process ensures significant changes to our IT systems are undertaken in a controlled manner with relevant notification and approvals. Adherence to the Change Management processes protects all parties involved, minimises risk, ensures appropriate back-out plans are in place, highlights scheduling clashes and ensures that changes are only made after the consideration of likely impacts.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Our vulnerability and patch management policies sets out processes for managing application and network technical vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are identified from vendor notifications, other alert mechanisms and intelligence from our Cyber Security Operations Centre team; advisories will be reviewed and based on the level of severity and exposure a security update or other mechanism will be planned and scheduled. This will be largely guided by the base CVSS score but will not be exclusively driven by it. Planning will also consider any significant “temporal” factors. For example, vulnerabilities which are under active exploitation will be prioritised and expedited.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Security alerts from different systems are sent to a SIEM and monitored, reviewed, and actioned on an ongoing basis. We have firewalls and intrusion prevention systems protecting our networks where they connect with the Internet. Security gateways inspect incoming traffic for malicious code. Internet gateways are configured to detect and block attempts to link to ‘Command & Control’ devices on the Internet. Malware related alerts from corporate end-point devices are sent to a centralised logging and management system.

The Cyber Security Operations Centre team investigates any information breaches caused by the organisation and takes appropriate steps to remedy the incident.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Our online reporting system 'MyQSSE' is used to report all security incidents. It is the responsibility of all individuals employed by our organisation, or those who work on our controlled premises, to report all security incidents including ‘vulnerabilities’.

The corporate IT Incident Management process is designed to restore normal service operation as quickly as possible minimising the adverse impact on business operations and ensuring that the best possible levels of service quality and availability are maintained. In support of this aim, we have developed a Cyber/Information Security Incident Management Process for significant cyber / information security incidents.

We recognise some of the digital and cyber skills shortages facing the UK and are actively participating and promoting careers from school age children through to lifelong training. This is often delivered through STEM outreach schemes such as Governors for Schools programme and CyberFirst. This can include upskilling activities delivered by some of our highly skilled professionals ranging from interview and job preparation (e.g., CV support, Mock interviews) through to technical training (e.g., cyber security, digital skillset, STEM-based careers, supply chain engagement). We promote our full-time opportunities to priority groups based on the area of operation. (e.g., people living in regionally and nationally deprived areas /disabled people/ people who are underrepresented in the industry including Women, BAME, LGBT+ etc.).
We understand the opportunities a diverse supply chain can bring to complement our overall solution we are providing to our clients, such as innovation, improved productivity, novel or new technologies or niche skillsets. As a large organisation we have a large network of approved suppliers from diverse backgrounds including small and medium enterprises that we can utilise as required.
