We use trusted sources such as vendor advisories, cloud provider notifications and recognised threat intelligence to inform ongoing assessment.

Events are assessed for severity and impact, with containment and remediation actions taken where required and escalation applied based on defined thresholds. Response times are risk-based, with higher-severity incidents prioritised. All incidents are tracked through to resolution, with lessons to support continual improvement.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls

The process covers detection, reporting, investigation, remediation and closure, and is designed to minimise impact to users and services. Pre-defined response procedures are in place for common incident types, including security events, service disruption and data-related incidents, supporting effective triage and escalation based on severity. Incidents can be reported through established support channels and are logged, assessed and managed by authorised personnel. Incidents are documented, with affected customers informed where appropriate, and lessons reviewed to support continual improvement.
