- Yes
- Documentation formats
- End-of-contract data extraction
- To ensure knowledge transfer, we will create handover documentation if that is deemed required by the customer. We will transfer data through Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) in CSV format at the date agreed in conjunction with your contractual notice period. We will delete this data after the SFTP file has been submitted, at an agreed date no longer than 3 months after contract expiry, including a certificate of completion.
- End-of-contract process
- Maintaining compliance with regulatory standards, we have adopted the retention periods set out in the Records Management Code of Practice for Health and Social Care 2016, Appendix 3. The retention schedule will be reviewed annually or as necessary to reflect changes in law. All data storage devices are purged of sensitive data before disposal. Where this is not possible, the equipment or media is destroyed by a technical WEEE service provider and a destruction certificate received. This is arranged with our IG Team to be logged accordingly. Any data that needs to be retained by the buyer, should be requested in writing. If data extracts are required for any purpose, then these may be subject to additional costs. Exit plans will be executed in accordance with the notice time period within your contract, either early or upon natural contract expiry. Following this, we will switch off our services at the date agreed in conjunction with your contractual notice period and data extractions will take place, as described above.

Scaling
- Independence of resources
- To confirm the independence of resources, we maintain proactive monitoring, which alerts us in real-time should services meet thresholds we have set.

All environments are monitored 24/7 with automated alerting and defined escalation. Data is backed up daily to immutable vault storage and replicated to a segregated Arcserve‑managed cloud environment. Disaster recovery procedures, aligned with NHS DSPT and internal Business Continuity Plans, are tested annually. Our recovery objectives are RPO 24 hours and RTO 1 hour.
- Outage reporting

In the rare event of a service wide outage occurring, our defined process states the following:

2. Assign a Service Support Lead who will be responsible for the management of the team through the execution of the resolution plan and communications to our customers
3. Include any work arounds in our communications to customers
4. Notify all customers through their nominated contacts’ email addresses, as defined during the onboarding period. We will also make a service status webpage available. Our notifications will include information on:
o Services affected
o Severity level
o Issue description
o Actions required
o Additional details (if any)

To ensure policies are followed, all colleagues must complete annual Information Governance and Data Security training, with access removed if training lapses. Policies are stored on the CLEO intranet and reviewed annually, covering areas such as secure device use, access control and data handling. Security events must be reported immediately through Ulysses. The IG Team investigates incidents, determines whether external reporting is required within 72 hours and oversees Root Cause Analysis. Compliance is monitored through quarterly reviews, IG incident reporting and external audits for DSPT and Cyber Essentials Plus. We maintain physical and technical controls including restricted access, encrypted devices and endpoint protection. Departments review Records of Processing Activity annually, ensuring risks are identified and managed effectively.

• Security review: Each change undergoes formal assessment for potential security impact, including data protections, access control and compliance risks
• Approval: The Change Management Board evaluates the risk analysis and security review before authorising implementation
• Implementation and monitoring: We schedule changes to minimise disruption, monitoring them post-implementation and documenting lessons learned
• Lifecycle update: We reflect approved changes in configuration records to maintain accurate tracking of components - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
-
To assess potential threats, we use an Enterprise Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Operations Centre (SOC) solution for continuous monitoring of systems and applications. Managing threats, we triage and assess any alerts during weekly security meetings, where we prioritise risks and their remediation actions. Identifying emerging threats, we review CareCERT advisories and vendor notifications.
Demonstrating the efficiency of our patch deployment, we follow NHS CareCERT guidance as shown below:
• Critical vulnerabilities: Patched within 72 hours
• High-risk vulnerabilities: Patched within 14 days
To minimise service disruption, we test all patches prior to deployment. - Protective monitoring type

We escalate all alerts to our on-call security team, with high-severity incidents escalated immediately to senior security leaders. We feed lessons learned into monitoring rules and controls.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- Confirming our incident management procedures, we fully train our Service Desk team on all aspects of our applications, including pre-defined processes for managing common incidents/events. Enabling user reporting, users can report incidents to our Service Desk through our Customer Portal, by email or by telephone. We log all incidents within our Service Desk application, enabling the tracking of progress, with the incident priority agreed between our Service Desk and customers. Our Service Desk will issue Service Incident Reports as required and in accordance with contractual agreements.
