Description of customisation
Description of customisation

At an individual dashboard level, users can (subject to permissions) edit existing dashboards and publish their own versions of previously created content. Users can also filter existing content and save that custom view as their own. Users can subscribe to specific views on a schedule of their choosing. Overall look and feel: clients can code their own wrapper in which to embed their analytics applying their own imagery, CSS etc (admin level) Functionality: clients can use the APIs to create additional bespoke functionality that Tableau does not deliver natively (admin level) Custom portals: we have developed custom portals that do both of the above out of the box, providing a rapid, affordable way of providing a look and feel that is consistent with that of the organisation as well as a range of often-requested additional functions with the flexibility to add more relatively easily. (admin level)

Scaling

Independence of resources
The first step is the choice of environment (dedicated on premise or cloud server, hybrid or public) which controls the range of possibilities for resource contention. Outside of the environment decision Tableau Server has a good range of built in dashboards for monitoring performance. InterWorks also has its own additional monitoring solution which provides broader analytics on usage of the processors, RAM, disk, network, processes, query times, user contention so that if there is a performance impact administrators can see exactly what the environment was like at that specific point in time and provide the most effective resolution.

Security governance approach
Given our role as data analysts we take data security very seriously. We do have an internal security governance policy but this is not currently one that is accredited to an external standard. We have never had a security incident or breach.
Information security policies and processes
We have a detailed IT Policy (Security and Internet) which we can make available on demand. The key points of which are: Roles and responsibilities - the policies are established, monitored and breaches investigated by the directors, but at a core level everyone has a responsibility for security. Monitoring - we reserve the right to monitor employee use of IT resources, tracking and remote wipe software is installed on all devices Damage and loss - defined actions in the event of damage or loss of equipment Misuse and vandalism Specific guidelines concerning encryption and security admin policies of portable devices, memory sticks, mobile phones, laptops, AV software, email attachments, commitments in emails, IM systems, licensing of software, and password policies.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
At the individual install level, any changes to content published to Tableau Server is tracked through the built in version control so that if a user amends or updates a particular dashboard then they have the capacity to roll back to prior versions. In terms of the release of software updates to the Tableau Server (Hybrid-Cloud) Platform, Tableau operates a cadence where updates made available 4 times per year, on a quarterly basis. It is the responsibility of the customer to implement and test the software updates in their own implementation.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
The Tableau Security team cares deeply about the security of our products and the data that our customers entrust to us. We will thoroughly investigate any reported vulnerability that jeopardizes either. Once a vulnerability is fully investigated and its content addressed, we will work with you to disclose the vulnerability in a way that acknowledges your work and protects our customers. All security-related notifications will be announced to our customers via the Security Bulletins community page: https://community.tableau.com/community/security-bulletins. This page also details our response to Internet-wide vulnerabilities that impact Tableau products, release notes about security bug fixes and disclosed vulnerabilities.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
In relation to Tableau Platform, there is no specific Protective Monitoring standard in place. Customers who implement the Tableau Server (Hybrid-Cloud) Platform are encouraged to ensure the implementation and security infrastructure are aligned with any internal policies and regulations.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
User reported incidents go to our support desk for triage. If the support desk cannot resolve it immediately it is escalated to the correct specialist within the team. Incidents discovered by our team would be notified directly to the client. Minor issues would usually be resolved then alerted. Major issues would be alerted first and then the focus would move on to resolution. Incidents are reported via email We use an industry-leading ticket-tracking platform that conforms to the ITIL standard.
