Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: Stack8s guarantees 99.9% uptime for the Managed Backend Service during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm GMT). This SLA covers the availability of the control plane and deployed customer applications. In the event of unplanned downtime exceeding this threshold, customers receive service credits proportional to the outage duration. Planned maintenance windows are scheduled outside business hours with advance notification.
• Approach to resilience: Stack8s achieves resilience through multi-layered redundancy. The service deploys across multiple availability zones within UK and EU cloud providers ensuring geographic distribution. Kubernetes clusters use high-availability control planes with etcd quorum spanning zones. Application deployments leverage pod anti-affinity rules preventing single-point failures. Persistent data uses replicated storage with automatic failover. Load balancers distribute traffic across healthy instances. We implement automated health monitoring with self-healing capabilities that restart failed components. Regular disaster recovery testing validates recovery procedures and backup restoration processes work correctly.
• Outage reporting: Stack8s provides multi-channel outage reporting through: a public status dashboard displaying real-time service health and incident history; email alerts automatically sent to registered customer contacts; webhook API for integration with customer monitoring systems. During incidents, we provide regular status updates via all channels with estimated resolution times. Post-incident reports detail root cause analysis and preventive measures taken.

Identity and authentication

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
  • Username or password
• Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: Access to management interfaces is restricted through role-based access control (RBAC) with the principle of least privilege. Management console access requires multi-factor authentication and is logged comprehensively. Support channels authenticate users through verified email domains and ticket systems that validate customer identity. Administrative access to infrastructure requires VPN connection, MFA, and is limited to authorized personnel only. All administrative actions are logged and monitored. Customer support staff access is restricted to necessary customer data based on support ticket scope and requires manager approval for elevated access.

The Technical Director (Jeremy Murray, jeremy@stack8s.com, 07809364323) oversees policy compliance. All policies are reviewed quarterly and updated as needed. Staff receive security training during onboarding and annually. We maintain audit logs and conduct regular compliance audits. Policy violations are tracked and addressed through our incident management process.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: Stack8s employs GitOps-based configuration management where all infrastructure and application configurations are version-controlled in Git repositories. Changes undergo peer review via pull requests before merging. Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Helm charts) tracks all components throughout their lifecycle. Security impact assessments are mandatory for changes affecting production systems. Automated CI/CD pipelines enforce testing requirements including security scans before deployment. Change approval matrix requires Technical Director sign-off for high-impact changes. All changes are logged with timestamps, author details, and justification. Rollback procedures are documented and tested. Configuration drift detection alerts on unauthorized changes.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: We assess potential threats through continuous monitoring and vulnerability scanning using automated tools. Critical security patches are deployed within 24 hours, with routine patches applied within 7 days following testing. We source threat intelligence from CVE databases, vendor security advisories, and security mailing lists. Our team monitors NCSC alerts and industry-specific threat feeds. We are currently pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification to formalize our security controls framework.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: We identify potential compromises through continuous log analysis, anomaly detection, and security information and event management (SIEM) systems monitoring our Kubernetes infrastructure. Upon detecting a potential compromise, we activate our incident response plan, immediately isolating affected components and preserving forensic evidence. Critical incidents receive immediate response within 1 hour, with high-priority issues addressed within 4 hours. All security events are logged, analyzed, and retained for audit purposes. Our incident response procedures are being formalized under our SOC 2 certification process.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Post-quantum cryptography secure: No
• Incident management approach: We maintain pre-defined incident response procedures for common security events including service outages, data breaches, and security vulnerabilities. Users can report incidents via email to security@stack8s.com or through our support portal with 24/7 availability. We provide incident reports within 24 hours of resolution, including root cause analysis, impact assessment, and remediation steps taken. All incidents are tracked, categorized by severity, and reviewed in post-incident meetings. Our incident management framework aligns with industry best practices and is being formalized under SOC 2 certification.
