Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Users may require training in rule authoring, for which there is a 2 day standard training course. 1Spatial can provide training at its own training facility in Cambridge or on client sites. 1Spatial can also provide consultancy services to create the rules on behalf of the client.

End-of-contract data extraction
The service is typically not used to store data, but process data and deliver output data which is typically stored elsewhere. It is therefore unlikely that there will be a need to extract any data when the contract ends, although the service itself contains the tools needed to extract/export and deliver rules or data as required. It is possible to purchase the system to run on-premise and to save the rules from the cloud environment to the on-premise environment. These are exported and delivered as XML documents. Each user is provided with an isolated installation of the software on a separate machine, so when the contract ends, the machine can be cleanly and completely wiped.
End-of-contract process
At the end of the contract, the service simply terminates on the date on which the client has paid up to. Any business rules that the client has authored can be exported as XML documents so that, upon termination, they can be kept by the client (and used in the client's on-premise 1Spatial software) as they will otherwise be removed from the service.

Description of accessibility
At 1Spatial we ensure that our web application products follow accessibility best practices by following the principles of universal design. During the development phase we aim to follow best practices for Web Development and as much as feasible for WebAIM's Principles of Accessible Design. Where we undertake bespoke development of Web or Native Applications, customer requirements guide the implementation of accessibility. The frameworks and technologies we have selected for our development have inbuilt support for accessibility, enabling us to create applications that can be used by everyone. This service has the creation of Voluntary Product Accessibility Template available on request.
Accessibility testing
Should assistive technology be required, the services offered can be configured or tailored accordingly. This is typically done during a workshop where requirements can be specified.
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
1Spatial 3D Data Management Cloud Service has a REST API and a SOAP API which allow it to be embedded within a workflow, or be invoked from other software or scripts. Typically, users will author rules, actions, data stores and sessions via the user interface and then run the sessions by invoking the API. However, these activities can also be achieved using the APIs. The 1Integrate SOAP API uses the SOAP 1.0 Web Services messaging protocol with documented/literal bindings, http basic authentication and is WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organisation) compliant. The REST API is provided with token-based security.

Description of customisation
The user can author rules and actions. The service is built around the concept of rules and actions being authored via a user interface in order to meet an organisations' specific quality management and processing needs. The API allows the service to be integrated into 3rd party applications.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Can be deployed on-premise or in client's cloud hosting service in which case independence of resources is client controlled. For 1Spatial managed hosting, each client has a dedicated virtual server environment within the Microsoft Azure Cloud environment. This ensures that the right resources are provided based on the individual client's needs with respect to data volumes, users and usage, availability and that a client is not affected by other clients' usage.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Whilst some clients will undoubtedly require specific SLA terms, the basic availability offered is based on the "Minutes in the Month" availability principle, with "Monthly Uptime" being the total number of minutes in a given month for which the service is available, and "Monthly Downtime" being the total accumulated minutes that are part of "Minutes in the Month" that have no service access. Downtime excludes announced Maintenance periods. Monthly Uptime % = 100% - (Minutes in the Month - Monthly Downtime) / Minutes in the Month. The following Service Levels and Service Credits are applicable to 1Spatial's Cloud-based offerings: If monthly uptime is less than <99.9%, a service credit of 10% applies If monthly uptime is less than <99.0%, a service credit of 25% applies If monthly uptime is less than <95.0%, a service credit of 100% applies As a standard service, 1Spatial Support is available on normal English working days, 09:00 - 17:30.
Approach to resilience
1Spatial's Cloud offerings are all hosted on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform and deployment of multiple engines provides resilience at the session processing level. More information on resilience is available on request.
Outage reporting
Outages are reported via an automated alert service.

Information security policies and processes
1Spatial has developed and implemented a Management System covering both Quality (QMS) and Environmental (EMS) aspects in order to maintain best business practices, better satisfy the requirements and expectations of its customers and to improve the overall performance of the company. It is certified to both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 by external auditors. Included in this are a number of procedures governing security of 3rd party data, access to services and disposal of equipment. Every employee has a responsibility to follow these procedures, and governance is provided by an internal auditing team, the Senior Management Team and ultimately the Board.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
1Spatial project management model includes formal Change Management/Change Request/Decision Request procedures. When a project is undertaken, the Project Inception and Project Elaboration stages capture and document the agreed scope and approach to change management. In addition, a source code control repository is used to track changes to components and their configuration throughout their lifetime.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Potential threats and their impact and mitigation are dependent upon each individual client's specific requirements. Security patches are available to deploy as soon as they are tested and released. Security specialist 3rd parties are used to undertake penetration and white-box testing of the 1Integrate software. When hosted by 1Spatial, the Microsoft Azure cloud is used which contains standard vulnerability tools.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
When deployed by 1Spatial, this is provided by Microsoft Azure Cloud Security Center: which is CSA CCM v3.0 compliant. When a project is undertaken, the Project will document the agreed protective monitoring that the individual client specifically requires. Response times will also normally be dependent upon the protective monitoring that the individual client specifically requires. These would normally be based on the standard response times offered by 1Spatial Support.
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
1Spatial Support provides a standard support service. This can be extended to include custom requirements in a bespoke SLA. In terms of the standard service, clients report incidents by phone, email, or by logging the incident via the Support Portal. A case number is assigned and a Support Analyst takes ownership. Response and resolution times are based on the category and severity of the incident, as initially assessed by the user reporting the incident. All incidents can be reviewed and reported on directly by the user.

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Better access to accurate, reliable and available data offers many benefits. Quality data can lead to increased operational efficiencies by reducing the time spent on fixing errors, improved decision-making due to greater visibility over better quality data, and higher levels of compliance with specific rules and regulations. The effective use of accurate, reliable and complete geospatial data can make a significant difference in helping to reduce the impact of climate change. Location data is a valuable source for mapping and monitoring environmental changes and analysing the efficacy of solutions that address climate change challenges. For instance, location data can provide useful insights into coastal and sea-level changes, offering guidance on where and how to position supporting structures in areas suffering from coastal erosion. 1Spatial recognises the importance of climate change as one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and is actively involved in working with various public sector clients in helping them reduce carbon emissions and/ or achieve their Net Zero goals. All the G-Cloud services offered by 1Spatial can develop and strengthen national geospatial information management.

Quality data can lead to increased operational efficiencies by reducing the time spent on fixing errors, improved decision-making due to greater visibility over better quality data, and higher levels of compliance with specific rules and regulations. The effective use of accurate, reliable and complete geospatial data can make a significant difference in helping to reduce economic inequality. Location data is a valuable source for mapping and monitoring economic inequality and analysing the efficacy of solutions that address economic inequality. For instance, location data can be used to provide insights into the relationships and trends between household income and economic activity across the UK. For example, Ordnance Survey data, which is underpinned by 1Spatial’s technology is being used by HMRC to increase the take-up of tax credits so that disabled workers, people on low incomes or with responsibility for children can access the benefits they are entitled to. 1Spatial recognises the importance of reducing inequalities as one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and is actively involved in working with various public sector clients in helping them address sustainable development challenges such as reducing carbon emissions or creating sustainable cities and communities. All the G-Cloud services offered by 1Spatial can develop and strengthen national geospatial information management.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

Better access to accurate, reliable and available data offers many benefits. Quality data can lead to increased operational efficiencies by reducing the time spent on fixing errors, improved decision-making due to greater visibility over better quality data, and higher levels of compliance with specific rules and regulations. The effective use of accurate, reliable and complete geospatial data can make a significant difference in addressing equal opportunity challenges. Location data is a valuable source for mapping and monitoring equal opportunity challenges and analysing the efficacy of solutions that are aimed at tackling this problem. For instance, UNICEF is using location data to derive insights into gender-specific challenges among migrant and displaced children of mothers in the domestic care industry where conditions were aggravated during the Covid-19 epidemic due to increased school closures, economic instability, gender-based violence and human trafficking. 1Spatial recognises the importance of providing decent work and economic growth as one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. It is actively involved in working with various public sector clients in helping them address sustainable development challenges such as creating sustainable cities and communities and reducing carbon emissions.
