Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All changes are logged whether approved or rejected on a standardised system. A documented audit trail, maintained at a Business Unit Level, shall be maintained at all times for the lifetime of each service. This should include change request documentation, change authorisation and the outcome of the change. No single person should be able to effect changes to production information systems without the approval of other authorised personnel. A risk assessment shall be performed for all changes and dependent on the outcome, an impact assessment should be performed. The impact assessment shall include the potential effect on other information resources.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
By regularly using dynamic application security testing (DAST) technologies we are able to look for security vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting, SQL injection, command execution, directory traversal, and insecure server configuration. We are able to deploy security patches on infrastructure and software within hours of detection. We keep up to date with security news by checking live updates from The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and The SANS Institute via notifications.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Potential compromises are usually picked up through suspicious behaviour within the application, or alternatively our supplier may be notified about high server load, for example. Any security investigation is dealt with re-actively, which means we would at first instance notify our supplier of any potential compromises. The SLA for Priority 1 incidents is 1 hour.
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
Users directly report the incidents to any member of the IT Department and a report is filled out. Incident reports are stored in our "intranet" and the person who causes the incident is spoken to

Secure development

Approach to secure software development best practice
Independent review of processes (for example CESG CPA Build Standard, ISO/IEC 27034, ISO/IEC 27001 or CSA CCM v3.0)

Connection to public sector networks

Social Value

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

We have invested in technology and infrastructure to ensure that the business is both robust and adaptable to be able to cope with significant and potentially disruptive events:

Our staff have the ability to work from home and can remotely access our systems within a secure IT environment. We are also able to redirect work phone lines to the relevant contacts as required.

We have completed an inventory audit to identify those staff who might have limited access to a computer at home or where a computer is shared with other members of the household. Where this is the case, we have provided computers, configured to our requirements, and telephone headsets specifically for business use.

We have invested in highly secure, Cloud-based data server/management solutions, which are fully functional and ensure that it is business as usual irrespective of the location of staff members.
