Information security policies and processes
All details are available in the Cantarus Information Security Policy which is available on request.

If a security issue is identified, then it should immediately be reported to the Cantarus Information Security Manager, who will escalate this to the board of directors. Depending on the scope of the issue identified, a small team will be allocated to deal with the issue. The exact makeup of this team will depend on the skills required in order appropriately identify and resolve the issue, however all reports from this team will be returned to the Information Security Manager.

Staff are regularly provided with updates on security trends and training on how to deal with them.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
All changes should be requested via raising a support ticket with the Client Success team. The request will then be triaged, and allocated to the relevant internal team.

The change will be subject to a formalised approval workflow and assessed for any potential security or availability impact.

Where the change is judged to have a possible negative affect on the security of the site this will be identified to the customer to ensure a fully-informed decision is made.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Where available we subscribe to security feeds from all our suppliers. When notification of an issue is received, we immediately assess these based on the CVSS score and the use of the feature or application within our environment. Using this data we decide if the patch (e.g. a firewall firemware update) can be deployed as part of our regular monthly patching schedule, or if we need to directly contact customers in order to arrange an additional at-risk window.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Fortinet FortiAnalyzer and SonicWall Capture Security Centre (CSC) include the ability to issue alerts when suspicious behaviour is detected. Actual, suspected or potentially imminent issues are treated as Critical issues and work begins on resolution within 30mins.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Full details of this process are documented in the Cantarus Incident Management Policy.

Users who suspect an issue should immediately report this to the Information Security Manager. Depending on the scope of the potential incident, this may then immediately be escalated to the board of directors. Once an event has been verified as a potential issue, this will also be raised with the customer.

On completion on the investigation and and remediation activity, the customer will be provided with a full incident report.
