Information security policies and processes

The Managing Director is the person responsible for ensuring that we regularly conduct risk assessments and follow the policies and processes we have defined.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
We open a separate branch in our code repository for each new feature or bug fix, and when it is ready, the code is checked by one or more other team members before it is merged into the develop branch. Once in the develop branch it is deployed to the staging environment where it undergoes manual QA before being merged to master and deployed to the production environment.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
We regularly inspect our code for security threats, especially those identified by the OWASP Top Ten. We also regularly update any third party user interface and API libraries that we use in our software. We are alerted to any vulnerabilities in these libraries by the grype tool and the npm and pip package managers. Our API is deployed using Docker containers which are restricted in their access to the host operating system and regularly replaced with the latest code.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use Google Cloud Logging to store logs from our infrastructure and application. We receive alerts by email when someone tries to login ten times to the same user account and in Slack when someone tries to make unusual API requests.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
We have a pre-defined process for managing incidents, defined in our Business Continuity Plan. It sets out the main points of contact, how customers are to be kept informed, what the likely problems are, and how to recover from them. Users can report incidents through our support ticketing system at https://support.cenefits.com.
