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
- Change is managed at all levels through the design, software development, quality assurance, deployment, and operational management of the services. Some examples: All source code is versioned and tagged in a Version Control System. Change requests are reviewed weekly by Product Management, Sales Engineering, Operations, and Development. Change requests are assigned to the current or future release based on severity and value to the solution. All production system changes, including config changes, are documented and tracked in the ticketing system and reviewed by management before any version of the software is deployed changes.
- Vulnerability management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Echoworx has a series of IDS, and IPS systems in place in their environment. Additionally, routine vulnerability and penetration testing is performed on its services. Echoworx is registered to receive updates via 3rd party mailing lists of almost all 3rd party tools used in the environment. The committed response time for deploying a new security patch from a 3rd party is 1-2 days for high severity / critical security patches. If the security patch is minor, or does not affect the Echoworx solution, it may be released after it has been tested during the next planned major release of software.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- For 3rd party compromises, the answer from Vulnerability management can be repeated here. On the topic of application monitoring, the Echoworx Operations team has system and log file monitoring in place that will alert the team of any errors. Service degrading errors are addressed immediately when possible with infrastructure changes, otherwise the issue is escalated to the Product group for assessment and resolution via a software patch.
