Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
99.95% uptime SLA

In the event Acquia does not meet this service commitment, customers are eligible to receive a service extension. For each one-half hour of unavailability, customers will receive a one-day extension of their subscription.
Approach to resilience
For Acquia's cloud platform that supports this service: At the Internet-facing tier, a software-based load balancer is deployed with a hot standby in a different availability zone in the same region. The load balancer distributes load across multiple web servers, which are also distributed across multiple availability zones. Acquia's expert operations team adds additional web servers to the resource pool as needed. The load balancer continuously monitors the web servers, and if a server becomes unavailable, it removes it from the pool of hosts serving the site. Web servers use a shared network file system (GlusterFS) so that all files are kept in sync and redundant to each other At the database layer, a scalable database cluster serves the site with active and passive database servers in multiple availability zones. The active master database server continuously updates the passive master database using MySQL replication. In the event of a failure of the master database, the passive database becomes primary through a DNS-based failover.
Outage reporting
For outages, customers can subscribe to the Acquia Status page by email, SMS messaging, or RSS/Atom feeds. You can subscribe to individual components, individual incidents, or all notifications. This enables you to get only the updates that you feel should be appropriate for your site.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
Acquia utilizes an agile change management process. System changes are managed by the Acquia engineering team who use a single server in each environment which is configured as the configuration management server. Changes are grouped into sprints. System changes are tracked in a change management ticketing system and required to be tested and approved prior to being implemented into the production environment. Version control software is in place to help ensure that code changes are tracked and can be rolled back as needed. Changes are assessed for potential security impact.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
At the Operating System and LAMP stack layers, Acquia employs a third-party vulnerability assessment platform, Rapid7, to perform authenticated host-based vulnerability scans against a representative sample of Acquia server types. The vulnerability scans are run weekly and reported to Acquia's security and operations teams. Vulnerabilities are reviewed, identified, and categorised by the Acquia security team, which assigns and prioritises reported vulnerabilities and documents mitigation steps to be implemented by the Acquia operations team.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Acquia uses OSSEC, an open-source, host-based Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which performs log analysis, integrity checking, and time-based alerting. Action is taken immediately if a compromise is identified. All affected or potentially affected customers are notified immediately.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Acquia has a formally documented Incident Response Plan that describes discovery, investigation, escalation, containment, notification, and documentation processes of security incidents. Upon initial notification that a Security Incident that has occurred, or is in progress, and is customer impacting it is the responsibility of Support team to notify the customers who are likely to be affected by the incident. Regular updates will be sent depending on the nature of the incident and as determined during the incident declaration stage.
