Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: We provide 99.99% SLA for availability of our services. We are available on Multi-Cloud therefore please also check SLAs below pertaining to your chosen cloud. AWS provided here for Azure/GCP check their SLA: AWS currently provides SLAs for several services. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of AWS’s product offerings, SLAs are best reviewed directly on our website via the links below: • Amazon EC2 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2-sla/ • Amazon S3 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/s3-sla • Amazon CloudFront SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/ • Amazon Route 53 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/ • Amazon RDS SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/rds-sla/ • AWS Shield Advanced SLA: https://aws.amazon.com/shield/sla/ Well-architected solutions on AWS that leverage AWS Service SLA’s and unique AWS capabilities such as multiple Availability Zones, can ease the burden of achieving specific SLA requirements.
• Approach to resilience: This information is available on request. For quick reference, we use auto-scaling with multi-AZ, multi-region deployments. We are using AWS cloud. Also see AWS services resilience approach below: The AWS Business Continuity plan details the process that AWS follows in the case of an outage, from detection to deactivation. AWS has developed a three-phased approach: Activation and Notification Phase, Recovery Phase, and Reconstitution Phase. This approach ensures that AWS performs system recovery and reconstitution efforts in a methodical sequence, maximizing the effectiveness of the recovery and reconstitution efforts and minimizing system outage time due to errors and omissions. AWS maintains a ubiquitous security control environment across all regions. Each data centre is built to physical, environmental, and security standards in an active-active configuration, employing an n+1 redundancy model, ensuring system availability in the event of component failure. Components (N) have at least one independent backup component. All data centres are online and serving traffic. In case of failure, there is sufficient capacity to enable traffic to be load-balanced to the remaining sites. Customers are responsible for implementing contingency planning, training and testing for their systems hosted on AWS
• Outage reporting: Publicly available dashboard; personalised dashboard with API and events; configurable alerting (email / SMS / messaging)

Identity and authentication

  • Limited access network (for example PSN)
  • Dedicated link (for example VPN)
  • Username or password
• Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels: The Identity and Access Management (IAM) module ensures controlled user access to our services, APIs, and resources. It incorporates various parameters like time, IP address, SSL usage, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for authorized users. Customers sign API calls with their Secret Access Key, which could be either the root Account’s or a user's created through IAM. Without access to this key, customers' API calls cannot be executed. API calls are further secured via TLS/SSL encryption, ensuring confidentiality. Additionally, customers have the option to utilize TLS/SSL-protected API endpoints for enhanced security measures.
• Access restriction testing frequency: At least every 6 months
• Management access authentication:
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)

The framework is supported by policies covering information security, access management, data protection, secure development, incident management, supplier assurance, business continuity, and acceptable use. Overall accountability for information-security is held by senior management, with day-to-day responsibility assigned to a designated security lead. Defined governance and escalation arrangements are in place to manage security incidents, risks, and policy exceptions affecting the SaaS platform. Security risks, vulnerabilities, and incidents are identified, recorded, assessed, and tracked to resolution through established risk and incident management processes that are embedded into the operation of the SaaS service and supporting environments. Security controls are embedded into service delivery through onboarding and role-based training, regular security awareness activities, controlled access management, and secure-by-design development and deployment practices. Technical measures include least-privilege access, tenant and environment segregation, encryption of data in transit and at rest, audit logging, vulnerability management, and regular patching. Compliance with security requirements is maintained through internal reviews, management oversight, supplier assurance activities, and third-party security testing. Any identified non-conformities are formally recorded, with corrective actions assigned, tracked, and reviewed to support continual improvement.
• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

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: Changes to our services and features follow secure software development practices, including security risk reviews prior to launch. Developer access to production environments is via explicit access system requests, subject to owner review and authorisation. Teams set bespoke change management standards per service, underpinned by standard guidelines. All production environment changes are reviewed, tested and approved. Stages include design, documentation, implementation (including rollback procedures), testing (non-production environment), peer to peer review (business impact/technical rigour/code), final approval by authorised party. Emergency changes follow incident response procedures.
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: Security team performs vulnerability scans on the host operating system, web applications, and databases in the AWS environment. Approved 3rd party vendors conduct external assessments (minimum frequency: quarterly). Identified vulnerabilities are monitored and evaluated. Countermeasures are designed and implemented to neutralise known/newly identified vulnerabilities. Our underlying cloud e.g. AWS Security monitors newsfeeds/vendor sites for patches and receives customer intelligence via http://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/. We are responsible for all scanning, penetration testing, file integrity monitoring and intrusion detection for our Amazon EC2 and Amazon ECS instances/ applications and other services.
• Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: We deploy (pan-environmental) monitoring devices to collect information on unauthorized intrusion attempts, usage abuse, and network/application bandwidth usage. Devices monitor: • Port scanning attacks • Usage (CPU, processes, disk utilization, swap rates, software-error generated losses) • Application metrics • Unauthorized connection attempts Near real-time alerts flag incidents, based on AWS Service/Security Team- set thresholds. Requests to AWS KMS are logged and visible via the account’s AWS CloudTrail Amazon S3 bucket. Logs provide request information, under which CMK,and identify the AWS resource protected through the CMK use.
• 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: We adopt a three-phased approach to manage incidents: 1. Activation and Notification Phase 2. Recovery Phase 3. Reconstitution Phase To ensure the effectiveness of the Incident Management plan, conducts incident response testing, providing excellent coverage for the discovery of defects and failure modes as well as testing the systems for potential customer impact. The Incident Response Test Plan is executed annually, in conjunction with the Incident Response plan. It includes multiple scenarios, potential vectors of attack, the inclusion of the systems integrator in reporting and coordination and varying reporting/detection avenues.
