Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
The service is designed for high availability and is hosted on resilient, enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. The minimum service level for software availability is 99.5% per calendar month, with a target availability of 99.9%, excluding planned maintenance and force majeure events. Availability is monitored continuously.
Clients are notified by email via the Support channel of any scheduled maintenance occurring outside peak business periods and of any unplanned service outages. The service provider is responsible for the availability of both the application and supporting infrastructure. By utilising the AWS cloud platform, the service is architected to eliminate single points of failure that could impact availability.
Where availability falls below the guaranteed level, service credits may be applied in accordance with the contract and SLA terms, calculated as a percentage of the affected monthly service charge and applied to future invoices.
Backups are taken regularly and stored on Amazon S3. In the event of data loss, restoration is performed in line with Business Continuity objectives:
• Recovery Time Objective (RTO): 8 hours from the initial outage
• Recovery Point Objective (RPO): 4 hours from the initial outage
Planned maintenance is communicated in advance and designed to minimise disruption. - Approach to resilience
-
The service is designed for resilience across application, data and infrastructure layers, aligned with the government’s cloud security principle on asset protection and resilience. It is hosted on enterprise-grade public cloud infrastructure (AWS), using multiple availability zones to remove single points of failure and support continued operation in the event of component or site-level issues.
The application is deployed using redundant compute, load balancing and automated health monitoring, allowing services to fail over without user intervention. Data is stored on highly durable, replicated cloud storage, with regular automated backups and tested restoration processes aligned to defined Business Continuity objectives.
Datacentre resilience, including physical security, power, cooling and environmental controls, is provided by the third-party cloud provider and complies with recognised industry standards. Detailed datacentre and architectural information can be made available on request where appropriate.
Resilience is further supported through continuous monitoring, incident management, capacity management and controlled change processes to minimise disruption and ensure rapid recovery from incidents. - Outage reporting
-
The service reports outages through direct customer communications and support channels. Email alerts are issued to registered contacts via the Support channel for unplanned outages and scheduled maintenance. Customers can also view incident status and updates through the online support portal.
The service does not currently provide a public outage dashboard or outage-reporting API. Outage information, progress updates and resolution notifications are communicated directly to affected customers to ensure accuracy and relevance.

Physical access controls aligned to recognised cloud security standards (for example CSA CCM–aligned controls) - Information security policies and processes
-
The organisation follows a formal information security governance framework aligned to recognised industry standards and regulatory requirements. This includes documented policies covering information security management, access control, data protection and privacy, incident response, vulnerability management, change management and business continuity.
Security governance is overseen by a named board-level executive with responsibility for information security, supported by senior security and compliance leaders. This reporting structure ensures security risks, incidents and compliance matters are regularly reviewed at executive level and escalated where required.
Policies and processes are enforced through a combination of technical controls, operational procedures and assurance activities. These include role-based access controls, encryption, monitoring and logging, secure development practices, and defined incident and breach management processes. Compliance is validated through regular internal reviews, independent audits (including SOC 2), annual penetration testing, and continuous security monitoring provided by the cloud hosting platform. Staff receive security awareness training, and adherence to policies is reinforced through documented procedures, audit evidence and ongoing management oversight.

- Configuration and change management approach
-
The service operates formal configuration and change management processes aligned to UK Government non-functional requirements and operational security best practice. Service components (including application code, configurations, integrations and infrastructure) are tracked throughout their lifecycle using version control, configuration records and segregated environments for development, test and production.
All changes follow a defined change assessment process that evaluates scope, risk and potential security impact before approval. Security assessment includes access control, data protection, integration risk and service availability. Higher-risk changes require enhanced review and testing prior to deployment. Emergency changes are documented and subject to post-implementation review. - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
-
The organisation operates a vulnerability management process aligned to the government’s Operational Security principle. Potential threats are assessed through continuous monitoring, automated vulnerability scanning, independent penetration testing and risk-based review of applications and infrastructure. Vulnerabilities are evaluated for severity, exploitability and business impact.
Patching is prioritised by risk, with critical vulnerabilities addressed as a priority through controlled emergency or expedited change processes, and lower-risk issues remediated through scheduled release cycles.
Threat intelligence is sourced from cloud provider security advisories (for example AWS), software vendors, penetration test results, independent security research and recognised vulnerability databases such as CVE. - Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
The organisation operates protective monitoring aligned to the government’s Operational Security principle. Potential compromises are identified through continuous log monitoring, automated alerts, intrusion detection and anomaly analysis across applications and infrastructure.
When a potential compromise is detected, incidents are triaged and investigated immediately, with containment, remediation and recovery actions taken as required. Security incidents are logged, escalated and managed through a formal incident response process.
Response times are risk-based, with critical security incidents prioritised and addressed urgently, including out-of-hours response where necessary. Post-incident reviews are completed to improve controls and monitoring effectiveness. - Incident management type
