Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
99.9% uptime availability as per EULA
Availability means that your data is accessible through Secret Server Cloud to authorized personnel when needed. Secret Server Cloud leverages the Azure platform for its High Availability: All services for Secret Server Cloud within Azure are auto-scaling so that during heavy usage, computing resources are automatically increased to ensure uninterrupted service even during the most heavily used times. Customer databases are continuously backed up with a differential backup every hour and a transaction log every 5 minutes. All data on the Azure platform is geo-redundant in the event of an outage or interruption to facilitate immediate disaster failover and recovery. In addition, Secret Server Cloud is protected by a Web Application Firewall (WAF) as an extra layer of protection against malicious scripts and potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. Secret Server Cloud also takes advantage of Azure’s built in redundancy which generates three copies of each customer’s database that are maintained across fault tolerant nodes to ensure continuous availability
Approach to resilience
Secret Server Cloud leverages Azure capabilities with high availability, 3 replicas and georedundant backups.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
We follow an AGILE/SCRUM approach to development methodology with some small variations where needed. We use Visual Studio for development, Microsoft VSO (Git) for Source Code Control, and YouTrack for user story/Scrum management.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Vulnerability scans occur before every major application release and as needed as part of our SSDLC. We also monitor and protect against the most critical web application security risks, such as SQL injection, cross site scripting, OWASP Top 10 and Automated Top 20 threats. Our threat data is continuously updated to protect against the latest attacks.
We are subscribed to threat newsletters and vulnerability lists for Microsoft, Amazon AWS, SANS, and US-CERT. When these feeds are updated we review them and take necessary action if there are any findings. We also subscribe to direct vulnerability feeds for software vendors
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We perform regular vulnerability and penetration testing, monitor threat data and updates. When a security report is filed, either from a customer or discovered internally, the same process occurs. First, each individual reported item is validated and, if valid, it is given a CVSS score. If the vulnerability is of a certain rating, it is addressed immediately. The assessment then must be evaluated by a team lead. If any reported are valid, the response to that item includes when the issue will be addressed and any temporary security measures that can be taken.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
We have incident management plan which is based on ISO27001 and NIST and is SOC2 Audited.

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)

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

We have taken a number of actions in response to the covid pandemic. We initiated a work from home policy even before the government restrictions were introduced. We have a documented Pandemic policy, which is reviewed and updated at least annually or as needed. Most of our staff are still Woking from home, with the office open with social distancing and hygiene cleaning basis when required. We have covid testing and sanitising stations within the office. We perform regular deep cleaning. In 2020 we ran a customer campaign that made a $25 donation to Coronavirus Relief Fund for every customer review. The Coronavirus Relief Fund is part of Global Giving, a non-profit based in DC, but doing work globally to help with COVID-19 relief efforts.
