Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Changes pass through a defined agile development process, with approval from senior members of the development team to ensure potential security impact is assessed.
The update schedule for core applications is unique to each client organisation, allowing updates to the software to be aligned to each organisation's desired frequency and convenience. Where appropriate, a test environment allows venues to try out new functionality prior to upgrading. - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Windows, SQL Server, .NET and other Microsoft components, as well as our open source web technology stack, are patched weekly using Windows Updates, to ensure we continue to operate the latest and most secure operating system and system software versions. Where an urgent fix is released, our team monitors the security bulletins and applies updates as required. Whilst we avoid being “early adopters”, preferring new versions to settle in before adopting new software, we ensure that all software we use benefits from full support by using current versions.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Incidents must be triaged within 24 hours of identification, with more severe risks being triaged immediately.
Recovery procedures will be commensurate with the incident that has occurred. This will be determined on a case by case basis with all aspects of the recovery process full documented. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
-
Where incidents are identified we work on an ‘identify, triage, notify and mitigate’ model. it's the responsibility of all users to actively identify any potential incident. Then, the impact of the issue is gauged and the asset, system or person responsible isolated. Summarised, if a user identifies any incident, it needs to be reported to the Technical Director and Compliance Lead as soon as possible.
Triage takes place within 24 hours of the identification, with priority set as per the risk. Incidents are recorded on our centralised incident log and the log reviewed each month.
Regulators are notified where necessary.
