Support levels
Level 1 represents the initial point of contact for end-users seeking support. Level 1, triage's, requests additional information and resolves the service request. If the request cannot be resolved, it is escalated to Level 2.

Level 2 offers more comprehensive and specialised knowledge relating to specific service request.

Level 3 represents the highest tier of technical expertise when incidents demand the utmost proficiency or when Level 2 personnel are unable to resolve an issue satisfactorily.

Support Level time is charged in line with your support arrangement and agreed staff rates.

All client accounts are automatically allocated a Client Lead, who acts as a senior representative on behalf of the Track Record team to support our client in their day-to-day account management. The Client Lead is responsible for several key duties relative to the size and complexity of the account.

We use active monitoring to detect possible attacks including an IDS firewall for network level threats and automated detection built into the application itself to indicate and notify of a possible attack.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
In the event of an incident the Track Record Support Team will often be the first point of contact. They will go through a pre-defined check list and determine if they can resolve the issue, if not they will contact the technical support team to follow up with the user. For a serious issue, such as a prolonged server outage, the Track Record disaster plan will come in effect. After the incident is resolved a downtime post-mortem will be carried out to establish the exact cause and what can be done in future to avoid a repeat situation.
