Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Configuration and change management in Anaplan is typically run as a product-style lifecycle covering design, build, test, release, and continuous improvement, underpinned by ALM, security and governance.
Anaplan follows industry-standard secure software development and release practices to minimise vulnerabilities in new features and patches.
Code changes go through structured development, testing, and staging environments, with security reviews and regression testing before release to customers.
The platform uses continuous monitoring and regular vulnerability scanning of infrastructure and applications, so security issues can be identified and remediated quickly. - Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
-
Anaplan runs regular automated vulnerability scans against its infrastructure and web application layers using industry‑standard tools and benchmarks.
Identified vulnerabilities are addressed through controlled patch and change processes.
All platform hosts follow a regular patching and maintenance routine, and servers are managed via central automation to ensure consistent, hardened configurations across environments.
Anaplan publishes a responsible vulnerability disclosure program, giving security researchers a defined channel and guidelines to report potential issues for investigation and fix.
Results feed into internal security teams who assess severity and impact, typically aligned to standard risk ratings (e.g. critical/high/medium/low) and relevant compliance requirements. - Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Anaplan uses a range of industry‑leading monitoring and alerting tools to watch hardware, software performance, networks, memory and disk usage, log files, and other key metrics across the platform.
All core services (for example firewalls, routers, switches, operating systems, and application components) produce security logs that are centrally collected and monitored as part of a “defence in depth” security architecture.Technical Operations personnel receive real‑time alerts when serious anomalies are detected.
Aspects of incidents response programmes are tested as part of regular SOC 2 Type 2 audits, providing independent assurance over how incidents are detected, handled and documented. - Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
-
For confirmed data breaches involving client data, Anaplan commits contractually to notify the customer promptly within a defined time window.
The Data Processing Addendum states Anaplan will notify the client within 48 hours of confirmation of a personal data breach relating to the client’s personal data.
Anaplan then provides ongoing information and cooperation to support the client’s own regulatory and incident‑management obligations.
Anaplan’s incident response is governed by its Information Security Management System (ISMS), which is aligned with ISO 27002 and event/incident standards such as ISO 27035 and CSA CCM. - Post-quantum cryptography secure
