Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
https://www.beyondtrust.com/cloud-service-level
Approach to resilience
Each AWS Region contains, on average, approximately three to six Availability Zones. All customer EC2 instances and their Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volumes are replicated and mirrored within the customer's availability zone to provide the customer with seamless disaster recovery options for the solution and stored data.
Outage reporting
Site24x7 is used to monitor the performance of Endpoint Privilege Management instances. During the build process, each hosted instance is linked to Site24x7 automatically. Regular health checks are conducted to guarantee every instance functions as expected. If a health check fails twice in a row, the instance is flagged as down and an alert is sent. Alerts come in the form of notifications on the Site24x7
dashboard and emails. Taking advantage of multiple geographical locations, global accessibility is ensured

Information security policies and processes
BeyondTrust has implemented and continuously maintains a robust security program and Information Security Management System (ISMS), containing appropriate security policies, practices, and procedures to protect our corporate and cloud environments to mitigate any unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure of our organization’s data, and more importantly, our customer’s data.
The ISMS is certified under the rigorous standards of ISO/IEC 27001 and a Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) that is certified under ISO/IEC 27701. In addition, numerous security and compliance audits are performed to assess our corporate practices, product portfolio, and cloud environments under the AICPA SOC 2 Type II requirements.

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
A change management process has been established to formalize each Change Request, change approval, change implementation and pre- and post-implementation testing of the Information Systems affected by the change. This addresses change management for all critical business systems and processes and are submitted for review/approval to the Change Advisory Board (CAB). All changes to a production environment or system are required to submit a change request per BeyondTrust policy. These requests must contain a summary of what is being recommended, a risk assessment must be completed based on impact, test criteria, a back out plan, and management approval.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
BeyondTrust maintains a formal Vulnerability Management Plan that addresses vulnerabilities discovered through vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. This plan is approved by the GRC Committee and is reviewed annually or as needed. The plan sets forth specific timeframes for finding mitigations based upon criticality.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
BeyondTrust uses a vulnerability management solution in our cloud environment(s). The solution scans at least every 24 hours and submits its findings back to the main console as well as to our SIEM. This includes IAM misconfigurations, authentication, lateral movement, data at risk, neglected assets, network misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities. All of the items listed above are alerted to the BeyondTrust InfoSec team, analyzed, and acted on based on validity and criticality.
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
BeyondTrust has a formal Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (CIRP) that is reviewed/tested annually, and approved by the Executive Leadership Team. This plan addresses all facets of incident response within the organization for all critical business systems and processes which contains all the steps necessary for identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and incorporating lessons learned to overall plan improvement.

Fighting climate change

Softcat are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and actively promoting sustainability. Our commitment to sustainability is a core aspect of our business strategy, driving us to innovate and lead in the creation of a more sustainable future for our company and the communities we serve. This commitment is embedded in our policies, operating procedures, and training programs.

We are proud to be the first FTSE 250 company to be awarded 5-star status in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We aim to achieve a Carbon Net-Zero Value Circle by 2040 by prioritising renewable energy, reducing natural resource use, minimising waste, and safeguarding biodiversity in compliance with environmental legislation.

At Softcat, we have taken significant steps towards securing renewable energy across our organisation, reducing our scope 1 & 2 emissions. We had the target of using 100% Renewable Energy across all our locations by 2024. We successfully delivered against this target ~2 years early.

In May 2023 we took delivery of 15 electric vehicles, replacing all existing fossil-fuelled company cars used by employees for business means. The implementation of the EV pool fleet will see a saving of over 80 tons of CO2e per year. A huge impact on our Net Zero targets.

Tackling economic inequality

As a value-add reseller, Softcat outsources the products, services, and solutions through our extensive network of partners, to best suit the needs of our broad client base. We always consider and promote SMEs and local providers where appropriate, particularly for the products and services we offer via the G Cloud framework.

We remain dedicated to improving employability and educational awareness across schools, colleges, and universities to help break down the barriers to joining technology organisations.

We work collaboratively with many schools that are close in proximity to our offices, to ensure we are actively supporting the community as well as schools from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

We visit the schools to talk about the IT sector and the roles in our organisation, as well as promoting work-experience opportunities during the summer. In particular, we actively encourage students from diverse backgrounds to engage in work experience to appreciate the roles available in our sector.

For ambitious school and college leavers, a Softcat Apprenticeship is a great first step into the world of work, with 94% of our apprentices offered a permanent position at Softcat post apprenticeships, which goes to show the amazing opportunity available with us.

We were ranked 1st in IT & Consultancy, and 10th overall in by RateMyApprenticeship.com - Best 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2023-2024 list.

Softcat now also offer 12 month paid internships to University students looking to complete a year in industry as part of their undergraduate studies.

Equal opportunity

Our approach to diversity and inclusion is introduced first during our induction training, as part of our Softcat values, outlining responsibility to uphold our principles. This message is reinforced by our process and policies, networks, Allyship Training and Inclusion Awareness campaigns.

Softcat supports diversity and inclusion through various networks including:
- Supporting Women in Business (SWIB)
- The Ethnic and Cultural Network
- The Pride Network
- The Family Network
- The Empowering Disability and Neurodiversity Network (EDN)
- The Faith at Work Network
- Armed Forces & Veterans Network
These networks aim to create a supportive and inclusive work environment for all employees, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or family commitments.

Our allyship programme, Stronger Together, is a mixture of event and workshop-based training available to all staff. Programme topics include, bias, power, privilege, and being a greater ally.

Inclusion Awareness campaigns include race, disability, sexual orientation, gender, faith, and caring responsibilities. These sessions highlight and celebrate minority groups, through panel sessions, Q&A sessions and training, providing an opportunity to discuss and understand ways to be more inclusive.

Our efforts to improve diversity and inclusion have been incredibly successful. Since 2020, the number of female employees below management level has increased to 35%, and the number of ethnic minority employees rose to 17%.

Wellbeing

At Softcat, all employees are provided with access to our multidimensional wellbeing programme which includes flexible work arrangements, free nutritious breakfast, mental health support, employee benefits scheme, health and wellbeing week activities, and online workshops.

Giving back to the community is an innate part of who we are as a company. All Softcat employees are therefore given two volunteer days per year to support a charitable or community cause.

Each of our 10 regional offices also support local charities through fundraising, donations and events. For example, our Manchester office has raised over £30,000 for the WeLoveMCR charity. This funding has supported young, disadvantaged Manchester citizens in gaining qualifications to broaden their work opportunities and supporting local groups in delivering indispensable services that enable community cohesion.
