Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Execview provide a set-up service of typically 5-30 days initial support depending on the client needs.
Most users can expect to learn to access and use Execview in an hour of training for project and service reporting (90% of users say this is sufficient!). The training is either on-site or via a WebEx session.
Either Execview of Client Administrator(s) are responsible for Execview set-up, data integration, and mapping, user and
security management, resource and cost management, etc. This set-up capability requires more formal training and
support (3 - 5 days). it is normally done as a by-product of the Execview Set-up whilst working alongside our solution consultants. Alternatively, they can take a formal Admin course – see details later in this section.
We run a range of training and courses – for larger roll-outs, we would ‘Train the Trainer’.
Execview typically provide on-site early life support services for larger implementations, and email/phone support thereafter.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Application availability is designed to be 99.5% within the operating hours above. There are two UK-based data centres, with 15 minute updates between mirrored systems. Our data centre hosting provider, RackSpace, provides data storage, all physical and logical security and all backup and restore operations. Increments backups are taken nightly, with full backups weekly. Backups are stored off-site in the back-up datacentre. Execview test restores on a regular basis to assure that backups will provide valid recovery.
Approach to resilience
Our data centre hosting provider, RackSpace, provides data storage, all physical and logical security and all backup and restore operations.
Backups are taken nightly, with full backups weekly. Backups are stored off-site. Execview test restores on a regular basis to assure that backups will provide valid recovery.
RackSpace provide business continuity and disaster recovery measures which, in the unlikely event of them being needed, would see an alternative hosted service restored within a maximum of 5 days. In practice, the mirrored servers should allow recovery within a day.
Outage reporting
Email alerts - our service desk provides email notification to client Execview Administrators in the even of an outage or major service problem.

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
Formal CM processes are used for all changes to production systems. A full range of dev/test/UAT/Beta/Production environments are used, and each client has its own 'Beta' copy of their production system for UAT of changes (if required - a subset of clients choose to do this). Execview operates quality processes to ISO9001 standard with accreditation.
Changes are prioritised and agreed by a weekly review process.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Regular risk assessment processes.
Server hardware and security updates applied directly by RackSpace in line with their processes. All user hardware is Windows 10 based and updated as patches become available .
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Images for both Windows and Linux deployments to serve as a baseline for hosted systems. However these images should not be considered to be 'hardened,' as customer requirements differ. When a server is kicked, hardening is done by assigning strong default passwords, non-essential services turned off by default, FTP access being disabled, and default accounts disabled by default. Once the server is kicked, security is the responsibility of the customer.
All internal and external vulnerability assessments of the customer solution are the responsibility of the customer, and should be performed according to the 'Logical Security Testing Consent Agreement' form.
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
Execview will respond to incidents as we become aware of them, and advise customers by email notification. Incidents affecting a single solution will be managed by the relevant Service Delivery Manager, incidents affecting multiple customers will be managed by the Global Incident Management team.

Secure development

Approach to secure software development best practice
