Configuration and change management approach
Changes to software are tracked in our version control system, Microsoft Azure Devops.

Vulnerability management approach
We have an in house software development team. Security patches to software can be deployed rapidly as we use continuous integration and one click deployment through Microsoft Azure Dev Opps.

We use software to assess threats to our infrastructure (currently Nexpose Community Edition). We also audit compliance to our security policy.

Potential threats are either resolved immediately or logged and prioritized in our risk log.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Only staff that require access to sensitive data are provided with access.

We routinely carry out security awareness sessions with all our staff.
