End-of-contract data extraction
At the end of a contract, users can export their configuration and data before the server is cleared by Orion Health. Orion Health retains all intellectual property in the software, and grants a perpetual license to the customer, subject to payment of the license fee. The customer owns the configuration of the Orion Health solution at the customer site. The customer does not receive the source code of the software, but Orion Health offers an escrow service at an additional cost.

An agreed exit plan will be included in any contract with a customer. The exit plan will contain all the detail necessary to affect a smooth and orderly termination of the services and hand-over to the customer or a new service provider. As such the deliverables and activities that would typically form part of an exit and handover include the obligations of each party, applicable schedule and timescales and the approach to data migration.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Orion Health offer high availability solutions that are operational 24/7, 365 days per year. Typically, the only downtime is for scheduled maintenance (i.e. upgrades) which are usually scheduled for off-peak hours when there are minimal users online. Most Orion Health customers experience availability of at least 99.9%, with some operating at 99.99%.
Approach to resilience
High availability is achieved using elastic scaling infrastructure, connection load balancers with service health monitoring, multiple redundant nodes geographically distributed over two or more availability zones, and block level data replication.
Outage reporting
Outages are handled as part of our Incident Management process and reported through real-time customer communications and monthly reports.

Information security policies and processes
Orion Health has adopted an internationally recognised information security management standard, ISO 27001:2013, in order to provide a systematic approach to managing confidential and sensitive information so that it remains secure. Using this standard as a baseline, Orion Health implements an Information Security Policy to control the governance and protection of our customers’ information assets under our care, as well as our own information. Our Information Security Policy is supported by a collection of administrative, technical, and physical policies and processes aligned with best practice advised by ISO 27002:2013 and expected by Article 32 GDPR. These policies and procedures ensure the integrity and confidentiality of personal data (including health data) and protect against anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information.

The Information Security policy is approved by senior management and subject to continuous, systematic review and improvement. Orion Health has established a “secure by design” program that considers security as integral to the service lifecycle and regularly engages employees in Information Security, Privacy, and Code of Conduct training.

The risk associated with each finding is assessed, and remediation is prioritised and managed in accordance with the Orion Health Risk Management Process.

This includes real time log monitoring, via a SIEM, from various log sources including Firewalls, Intrusion Prevention/Detection Systems, File Integrity Management, Anti-Malware, as well as infrastructure and administrator log events. Access to the environment is controlled via business requirements, strict minimum necessary permissions, and MFA. Access audits are conducted twice a year.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
