In terms of the transition to another provider, we recognise that movement of contracts are typically unique in nature with varying customer requirements in each instance, therefore precluding a one-size-fits-all approach. Within this context, and unless a defined transition plan has been detailed in existing contractual documentation, we would establish a formal transition plan with the customer to ensure that service provision is maintained and transition is seamless.

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- Deployed in line with the ISO27001:2013 standard, with particular reference to controls A12.1.2(Change Management) and control objective A14 (System Acquisition, Development and Maintenance). Adherence and application of these controls is regularly monitored through internal and external auditing inline with our ISO27001:2013 Certification. Requested changes(including those raised by customers) are subject to review and approval from senior or otherwise authorised member of staff prior to implementation. This review will be used to define and document timescales for implementation, potential impacts caused while the change is being made, required resources and fallback plans. Records of requested/actioned changes are retained for reference/auditing purposes.
- Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Vulnerabilities are identified internally through threat modelling and testing(Development utilising OWASP and other known threat and vulnerability review processes),through external penetration testing and by automated error reporting. Vulnerabilities and issues are prioritised according to a severity rating system and cycled into the Development lifecycle for resolution- fixes and patches are issued immediately once ready. Severity is established based on end-user impact(which provides an intrinsic link into vulnerability management considerations).Priority will typically be given to items causing site-outages, data loss issues and particularly where an issue has been flagged either internally or externally as a potential security or data privacy risk.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- Internally, proactive monitoring of network activity is managed/maintained directly by our IS Team to enable rapid identification/response to concerns and issues. This also enables our IS Team to head-off potential issues before they're able to have a significant impact on ongoing operations. From a product/service perspective, active crash and bug reporting are in place to similarly enable the identification of issues with the service and therefore enable impact on service users to be considered and appropriate action to resolved and implemented. Prioritisation and resource allocation placed towards the resolution of identified bugs is similar to that described for Vulnerability Management.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- Incidents are routed through the Totalmobile ISO for review, assessment and instigation of the Incident Management Process as defined in our Incident Management Policy, co-ordinating with end-user customers where required.This incident management process consists of several stages,including implementation of short-term containment actions,root cause analysis and implementation of corrective actions. This process is aligned to the controls outlined within AnnexA of the ISO27001:2013 Standard. Customers and end-users may raise incidents directly to the ISO or through the Support Desk. Where an incident impacts or has been raised by a customer,they will be included in the distribution list for supplementary incident reports.

Making Change Measurable
In 2022, Totalmobile established our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy which now serves as the cornerstone of our continued growth. By integrating ESG principles into our operations, we strive to build a more sustainable, equitable, and ethical future for our customers, employees, and communities.
Our Goal: Net-Zero Operations by 2030
Driven by our ESG Steering Committee, our agenda is focused on becoming an even more ethical and sustainably conscious business. The Committee takes the lead on reviewing important areas such as carbon emissions, fine-tuning policies we can all stand by, and attracting, recruiting, and keeping a diverse team of skilled individuals who prioritise well-being and opportunity. With ambitious goals in mind, we’re making steady progress towards a brighter future for the planet, our colleagues, clients, and the communities we touch.
Digital Sustainability
Partner with Suppliers who are transparent about their greenhouse gas emissions and ideally using 100% renewable tariffs.
Continually assess and optimise the cloud estate, minimising redundant services and systems
Implement “clean code” practices and strategically schedule data-related tasks such as backups.
Sustainable Facilities
Focus on energy conservation to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs across all office spaces.
Collaborate with landlords to transition all locations to a 100% renewable electricity tariff by 2030.
Remote Working
Totalmobile Group believe that there are many benefits to Remote working, it allows employees to achieve a work life balance that is right for them, increases productivity and also benefits the environment by reducing travel and therefore reducing our carbon footprint.
All project management and internal meetings relating to this project will be facilitated online via Microsoft Teams.
Where travel is required as part of delivery workshops for this project, we encourage our staff to utilise public transport and carpool where possible.Covid-19 recovery
Post Covid recovery, Totalmobile implemented a number of processes to ensure the continuity of service and employee support when working remotely:
We migrated all employee contracts to home based with travel to office locations available for specific tasks and business requirements.
Expanded our HR policies and procedures to support Employee health and wellbeing with regular work and social events hosted virtually and 24 hour HR online support.
Performed assessments of home office environments and provided additional equipment and furniture where needed to meet our Heath & Safety requirements.
Enhanced existing Business continuity processes and practices to ensure seamless service transition to full time remote capability. It is noted that the use of Totalmobile applications, particularly when hosted in a cloud environment, are not predicated or reliant upon the Totalmobile headquarters.Tackling economic inequality
Totalmobile Apprenticeship Scheme
Based in Rochdale, an area that sits in the bottom ten of UK cities on several social deprivation measures, including higher than average levels of unemployment, we provide high quality employment opportunities with 90% of our employees being based in the Greater Manchester area. By working closely with local education and employment providers Rochdale Sixth form, Hopwood College and Rochdale Training in order we have employed a number of apprentices from the Greater Manchester area.
Totalmobile Employment Practices
At Totalmobile, employees are salary based and we do not use zero hour contracts for any of our employees. We offer flexible and family friendly working practices for all workers from day one of employment. Totalmobile oppose the use of fire and rehire practices.
We undertake all our software development within the UK, and we do not outsource any aspect of our daily business activities overseas.Equal opportunity
Totalmobile is committed to promoting equality and eliminating unlawful discrimination, and we are aiming to achieve diversity in the range of people we involve.
A women's networking group was set up to provide a space for all the women in the business to come together to network and also discuss issues they felt were important and begin to examine potential barriers women face. In relation to recruitment, we focused on gender and how we could encourage more women to join Totalmobile. For this we try to ensure that there is a woman present on every first stage interview where possible to present a more welcoming impression to women at an early interview stage.
In 2023 we expanded our women's networking group to be a more open networking group to allow others to join to discuss topics such as gender and ethnicity in the workplace.
To ensure people within the company feel included and seen we provide updates Companywide information sessions which inform people about important events such as Ramadan, Black History Month and Diwali explaining their history and why they are celebrated.
For every job we advertise we use the following statement: Here at Totalmobile, we want all of our employees to feel valued, appreciated, and free to be who they are at work. We are committed to an inclusive workforce that fully represents many different cultures, backgrounds, and viewpoints. We are dedicated to supporting inclusion and diversity at Totalmobile. We actively celebrate colleagues’ different abilities, sexual orientations, ethnicity, faith, and gender. Everyone is welcome and supported in their development at all stages of their journey with us.Wellbeing
