All of the data processed and stored is encrypted at rest using various file or disk level encryption mechanisms. Data is encrypted using industry standard AES-256 encryption with keys managed through AWS’s Key Management Service (KMS). Where possible, Rapid7 utilizes AWS’s services to manage encryption at rest (e.g. S3, EBS, RDS, etc.). When not possible, Rapid7 utilizes block level encryption provided by LUKS.

Block level encryption is used for ElasticSearch (only used to index some asset metadata). For all other persistence technologies/layers, AWS KMS is used

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
During the term of Customer’s subscription, the Service will perform in accordance with and subject to this Service Level Agreement (“SLA”). Rapid7’s target is 100% System Availability. If the System Availability during a given month is less than 99.95%, Customer may be eligible for a credit (“Service Credit”), which is the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the SLA.
Approach to resilience
Rapid7 maintains a Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform. The primary goal of this plan is to ensure organizational stability, as well as coordinate recovery of critical business functions in managing and supporting business recovery in the event of disruption or disaster.

Thus, the plan accomplishes the following:
• Ensures critical functions can continue during and after a disaster with minimal interruption;
• Identifies and decreases potential threats and exposures; and
• Promotes awareness of critical interdependencies.

We can share a high-level overview of our Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform upon request.

Security governance approach
The Information Security team is broken into the Governance and Operations functions. The Governance team's functions include GRC (governance, risk and compliance) activities and overall security program management. The Operations team's functions include vulnerability management, application security, security engineering, and various other operational roles and responsibilities. The Information Security team reports into the Products organization. We work with the Products team to build security into our platform, products and services. We engage external third party auditors to validate the security controls are operating effectively, building and maintaining customer trust and confidence.
Information security policies and processes
The Information Security and Information Technology groups are responsible for monitoring compliance with data security policies and procedures. Users found in violation of information security policies may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including 1) removal from any access to company or customer assets, data, or systems, 2) termination of employment, and/or 3) legal action. When required, Information Security will work with Legal and People Strategy to address any instance of non-compliance.

We use a SaaS product to manage and control relevant Information Security policies, which includes version control editors and full audit history. Rapid7 employment policies are documented in an internal employee handbook.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Rapid7 applies a systematic approach to managing change so that changes to services impacting Rapid7 and our customers are reviewed, tested, approved, and well communicated. Separate change management processes are in place for corporate IT systems and Insight platform systems to ensure changes are tailored to the specifics of each environment. The goal of Rapid7’s change management process is to prevent unintended service disruptions and to maintain the integrity of services provided to customers. All changes deployed to production undergo a review, testing, and approval process.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
The Information Security team is continuously monitoring the Rapid7 network and our product environments in accordance with formally documented vulnerability management processes and procedures. Information Security conducts vulnerability scans on a continuous basis, at least weekly. Rapid7 begins immediate action following the identification of critical vulnerabilities and generally completes the process in well under 48 hours.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use InsightIDR to monitor for suspicious and malicious behavior across our user endpoints, networks, servers, and cloud services. Our InsightIDR configuration uses a combination of user behavior analytics, attacker behavior analytics in the form of curated threat intelligence, and custom alerts.

We only monitor systems that Rapid7 has implemented in our hosting environments and platform, not systems that customers deploy themselves within their environment.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
There is a formal Incident Management process in place and we can provide our Incident Response policy. Incidents are handled by the Information Security team and are escalated to Rapid7's in-house Incident Response team when necessary.

Rapid7 uses InsightIDR to monitor on-premises and cloud environments for security incidents. Information Security partners with the MDR and Incident Response services teams to supplement Rapid7’s incident response program. InsightIDR alerts are regularly reviewed by analysts and escalated via a paging system when indications of potentially malicious activity are detected.

Fighting climate change

"We have an environmental statement and are working to improve our ESG governance generally. We formulated a plan to become net zero by 2030 which is available on our website.
What we are doing to reduce our emissions
-Our People – we launched a WIKI within Teams containing advice on how to minimise your environmental impact.
-Our Suppliers – 95% of our environmental impact comes from suppliers. We have reviewed our supplier onboarding process to score their environmental impact and are in discussion with Key suppliers so we understand what they are doing to limit Carbon emissions and how we can work with them to make this happen.
-Our Customers – our sales efforts focus on transitioning customers to cloud services and low energy products such as FTTP. These are more efficient and will reduce emissions over time.
95% of our emissions are from our supply chain/customer usage of our products and we are working on our supplier strategy to fully understand their plans and as well as proactively transitioning our customers onto more environmentally responsible products and services (e.g. Broadband -> FTTP) to help them hit their targets.
5%- us We have moved to 96% home working, reduced our office footprint from 6 to 1 and have seen a substantial reduction in our emissions and utilities usage (reported annually). This equates to over 350 people no longer commuting.
Our People come together if they need to at head office or in a network of small hubs, for example all teams meet at least once per quarter and some choose to more frequently.
This cuts carbon emissions significantly as
-over 350 people no longer need to commute every day,
-over 90% of internal, supplier and customer meetings take place over Teams
-We reduced our office footprint from 6 to 1"

Covid-19 recovery

Chess have in place a robust and tested Business Continuity Plan, recovery for pandemics would be included within this BCP.

Tackling economic inequality

"Our UK sites sponsor twelve charities a year. One of the main philanthropic successes we have seen at Chess in recent years is the launch of our Engage platform. Successfully linking Culture and Charity by introducing a fun and quick way to provide companywide recognition and praise for all to see. All our people are encouraged to recognise when their colleagues have performed well by giving them ‘Praise’, The best thing about this – every time someone is praised, they get to donate £1 to one of the 12 Chess Charities. In 2023, we raised £9,000 through Praise recognition, which was part of the £45,000 total we donated.
When things happen in the world that we've not planned for, people will turn to their leaders to see how we will support them, recently, we sent medical and food supplies to the Romania – Ukraine border and donated to the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
Recent Regional and National Charity initiatives
Bare Necessities
Bare Necessities is a toiletry bank based in South Manchester, founded by two friends, determined to do something to help local people have equal access to personal hygiene products. We have set up toiletry drop off points at each of the Chess hubs and will regularly be delivering these to be put into hygiene kits.

Mission Christmas Toys for Kids Appeal
Our people can gift £5 per month to go towards the Mission Christmas Toy Appeal that runs across the UK.

Wrap Up Campaign
Wrap Up is a project run by various Rotary Clubs working in partnership across the UK to provide coats directly to people across the UK. Each Chess hub became a drop off point and our people donated over 50 of their old coats which were then circulated to the collection points across the UK."

Equal opportunity

"Our People have told us that they want to work flexibly and so the ability to work from different locations utilising all of the new technology we have embraced during the pandemic has become our new normal in terms of our working practices. This opens up an exciting opportunity to widen our recruitment activities to include groups of people who previously were not open to us because of the geographic and physical barriers that working in a fixed location bring. Removing these barriers and proactively searching out new ways to attract and recruit people from all areas of society will enable us to grow a much more diverse workforce with all of the cultural, social and financial benefits that this brings.
In Chess, we have always considered that we drive a culture that promotes inclusion and diversity. We have always celebrated all our people's successes, but complacency is dangerous and there is always more we can do. We pay close attention to what other organisations are doing, we listen to our people, and our goal is to drive hard in this area, providing the opportunity for all who wish to take it.

Economic – employment, training and work-experience opportunities
We support localisation in the delivery of services through:

a)Local employment
Chess can proactively look at ‘local’ employment, training and work-experience opportunities for individual where this is appropriate and deliverable.

b) Apprenticeships
Graduate and Apprentice Schemes - We employ 5no apprentices across the business including IT and people support.

c) Employability Training
We offer young people employability training via interview practice, CV assistance and familiarisation with an office environment. We have previously offered work experience and apprenticeships to young people we have been introduced to via this scheme."

Wellbeing

"Communication and collaboration are vital to maintaining energy and focus at Chess, especially with most employees choosing to work from home.

Staff are encouraged to meet with their teams at one of the local hubs in a network spread across the UK. And there are two annual conferences to celebrate success and bring people together.

All teams have daily Teams 'huddles' to set the focus for the day and share any issues, as well as monthly 121s. Employees get monthly updates from the Chairman and Board of Directors to keep them up to speed on business performance, with daily 'need to knows' posted on internal channels. Additionally, the chairman hosts monthly lunches, allowing employees to express any concerns directly.
Working together in a positive environment
Every day, we encourage, motivate, and support each other to maintain a friendly positive atmosphere where everyone feels valued and cared for. Chess have created a culture that is inclusive and diverse where everyone is encouraged to bring innovative new ideas to the table and work together to achieve our organisational goals. It’s a place where hard work and success is rewarded. All our people set Goals and Responsibilities tied to our Blueprint which are reviewed regularly throughout the year, as well as a Personal Development Plan outlining their short and long term career objectives – both within and outside of Chess.

• We are advocates of diversity and inclusion, and our culture is open to everyone.
• Looking after our employees - Future Fit wellbeing - Chess
• Early career apprenticeship and graduate programmes - national-apprenticeship-week-at-chess
• Passionate about encouraging and supporting women in tech, with above average industry standards for women in tech and females in leadership roles - International Women’s Day - Chess
• Flexible working options for every employee where possible"
