Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Tenable commits to provide 99.95% average uptime with respect to the Cloud Services during each calendar month of the subscription term. If in any calendar month this uptime commitment is not met by Tenable and Customer was negatively impacted, Tenable shall provide, as the sole and exclusive remedy for unavailability or performance degradation of the specific Tenable Cloud Services, a service credit.
Approach to resilience
Tenable uses health and status data to detect and address potential issues in a timely manner, thereby maintaining SLA commitments. Tenable Cloud services are replicated both within and across Azureregions. Should both instances in a region fail (or the region suffers an outage in general), the regional-failover layer (usually using dynamic DNS) will instead direct traffic to the other three regions. Failover is closest-path to the traffic origin.
Outage reporting
Tenable Attack Surface Management disaster recovery procedures have several levels and are designed to react to situations that may occur from anywhere between once in five years to once in 50 years. Depending on the scope of the disaster, the recovery procedures vary in time from 60 minutes to 24 hours.

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
Not all systems require the same amount of development, testing, and approval. Changes to some systems are routine and represent little or no risk. Therefore, to ensure reasonable processing time for routine maintenance and other low risk change requests, and to ensure that more significant, higher impact changes receive the appropriate scrutiny and planning, the following types of changes have been established. These types have corresponding development, testing, and implementation requirements as well as specific approvals necessary to process. Classification of Change Types:
Provisioning
Configuration
Maintenance/ Upkeep
Development (existing)
Development (new)
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Internal vulnerability assessments are conducted weekly. Vulnerability management assessments include, but are not limited to, workstations, servers, cloud instances, networks, labs, internet-facing services, Tenable products, and third-party products.

Internal penetration tests are conducted quarterly. Tenable's internal penetration testing team performs assessments to identify risks that require mitigation. Our internal penetration testing methodologies follow the standards from NIST 800-115 and the PTES Technical Guidelines.

External 3rd party Penetration tests are also done annually for our cloud-based offerings and can be provided to customers, upon request, under an NDA agreement.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
All application logs, audit logs, syslog, and any other textual logs are captured and transmitted immediately to a 3rd party logging system. Additionally, all changes and actions are monitored on the platform. Alerts are generated when certain actions or conditions are met. Alerts are sent using our alerting and notification system.
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
Information Security Incident Management follows NIST frameworks, US-CERT guidelines and best practices.

Notification will be made within 48 hours and not before the initial incident report, containing the basic facts, is completed. Notification will be sent to the data breach contact notification on file. Notification will be by email.
