How data is extracted
Standard export pack provided on request, covering the agreed in-scope datasets (e.g., user profiles, configurations, audit logs, events/alerts, activity records, reports, and associated metadata).
Formats: typically CSV/XLSX for tabular data and JSON for structured records; PDF copies of key reports can be included if required.
Delivery: via a secure transfer method (encrypted download link, SFTP, or customer-managed secure storage). Encryption and access controls are applied throughout.
Validation: we provide an export manifest (what’s included, date range, field definitions) so customers can reconcile completeness.
Assisted extraction: for larger customers, we offer technical support to map fields, confirm joins, and ensure import into the next system is straightforward.
After extraction
Retention and deletion follow the contract and our retention schedule.
We provide written confirmation of deletion/anonymisation once the agreed period has elapsed (subject to any legal or regulatory retention requirements). - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract we run a controlled off-boarding process to ensure continuity, secure data handling, and orderly service closure. We confirm termination/non-renewal, agree the end date and off-boarding plan, and identify any operational dependencies (e.g., monitoring, alerting, responder workflows).
We then provide a standard customer data export pack (typically CSV/XLSX for tabular data and/or JSON for structured records, delivered via an agreed secure method (encrypted link or SFTP), with an export manifest so customers can reconcile completeness. Access is restricted on the agreed date and services are wound down in a managed way to avoid unintended gaps.
Where applicable, we agree return/transfer/decommissioning of any equipment and record outcomes. Data is retained only as required by the contract and applicable law, then securely deleted/anonymised, with written confirmation provided.
Included in the contract price: standard off-boarding management, one standard export pack, secure transfer, account closure, and deletion confirmation.
Additional costs (if needed): custom or repeated exports, accelerated timelines, extensive migration support, onsite support, hardware collection/refurbishment/disposal, and extended data retention beyond standard terms. - Documentation accessibility standard

- Service interface
- Yes
- User support accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Description of service interface
- Clients and family access CareBuilder through a secure mobile app and web portal. They can view live care plans, daily notes, medications, and upcoming visits, with simple timelines and plain-English summaries. Real-time notifications highlight missed tasks, changes, and incidents. Two-way messaging enables questions, photo sharing, and acknowledgements. Consent, preferences, and goals are clearly visible and editable with permissions. Family members get role-based access to exactly what’s relevant, including wellbeing dashboards. Accessibility is built-in: large text, high contrast, screen-reader support, and multiple languages. Privacy is central: encrypted data, audit trails, and configurable sharing.
- Accessibility standards
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Accessibility testing
- We design and test the CareBuilder web console and mobile apps with disabled users and assistive technologies as part of an ongoing accessibility programme aligned to WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549.
- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Our REST API provides secure, role-based access to manage and integrate key operational data, including users, devices, services, service orders, roles, qualifications, and locations.
It enables authorised third-party systems to import, update, and synchronise records directly, as well as to trigger and receive real-time service alarms via an integrated real-time signalling server or through webhooks.
Users set up the service by registering an account and obtaining an authentication token (Bearer token), which governs both access control and rate-limiting policies. Once authenticated, clients can create, edit, delete, or query data entities through standard HTTPS endpoints.
They may also subscribe to webhooks to receive event notifications (for example, when an alarm or service order status changes) or connect through the signalling server to receive live updates.
Configuration is flexible: domain-based isolation allows each organisation or site to manage its own data, roles, and rate-limit policies securely.
API usage and authorisation are centrally controlled for full auditability.
Limitations: each account operates under defined access and rate-limit policies, and administrative rights are required for structural or configuration changes. - API documentation

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
- We offer multiple ways in which the platform can be customised depending on the subscription type.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- We we ensure one customer’s peak demand doesn’t affect others through tenant isolation, per-tenant capacity limits, and automated scaling. Workloads and data are logically separated with scoped permissions and segregated storage. We enforce quotas and throttling (e.g., rate limits, connection caps, queue limits) to prevent disproportionate consumption. Services scale horizontally with load balancing to maintain performance. Time-critical workflows (alerts and communications) are prioritised over non-urgent reporting. Continuous monitoring and capacity planning trigger early remediation before users are impacted.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- We provide service usage metrics to help customers monitor adoption, performance, and outcomes. Typical metrics include number of active users/devices, alert volumes and types, response times (acknowledge, triage, resolution), escalation rates, false alarm rates, and service availability/uptime. We also report engagement measures such as completed check-ins, completed prompts, two-way contacts, and trends over time by site/cohort. Operational metrics can include caseload distribution, peak demand periods, and workload by responder/team. Where relevant, we support outcome and assurance reporting (e.g., overnight activity summaries, wellbeing indicators) and provide exports in CSV/XLSX plus dashboards and optional (at additional cost) API exports.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- Our availability SLA for the core service (platform access and critical functions) is 99.9% uptime per calendar month, excluding pre-agreed maintenance windows and events outside our reasonable control (e.g., widespread internet failures or force majeure).
- Approach to resilience
-
Our service is designed for resilience through multi-site architecture, automated failover, and tested recovery processes, aligned to the UK Government/NCSC principle on asset protection and resilience.
Service resilience (application and data):
Three mirrored AWS sites (geographically separated). If one site suffers an outage or degradation, we can fail over service delivery to another site to maintain continuity.
Each site is built using redundant components (e.g., multiple availability zones), avoiding single points of failure.
Operational resilience: continuous monitoring and alerting, automated recovery where possible, clear incident response, and post-incident review.
Datacentre setup (cloud hosting):
Our “datacentre” resilience is provided through AWS’ regional and availability-zone design, supplemented by our cross-site mirroring and failover runbooks.
Specific site/region details can be provided on request. - Outage reporting
-
Our outage reporting is designed to give customers fast visibility, clear impact information, and reliable updates through multiple channels.
How we report outages
Status dashboard: we provide a service status page showing current service health.
Email alerts: customers can subscribe nominated contacts to incident notifications (new incident, impact updates, mitigation in progress, resolution, and post-incident summary).
API / integration option: where required, we can provide an API endpoint or webhook-style integration to feed incident state into a buyer’s tooling (e.g., ServiceNow, Jira, Teams) for automated updates and internal comms.
What customers receive
Initial notice with start time, affected components, and known impact
Regular updates with progress, mitigations, and workarounds (if available)
Resolution notice and (for material incidents) a post-incident report including root cause and corrective actions
Identity and authentication
- User authentication needed
- Yes
- User authentication
-
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- Public key authentication (including by TLS client certificate)
- Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)
- Username or password
- Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
- We restrict access to management interfaces and support channels using least-privilege, strong authentication, and audited administration. Admin access is limited to authorised personnel with role-based permissions and segregation of duties. We enforce MFA and, where possible, SSO with conditional access. Privileged actions are performed through controlled admin accounts, with time-limited access for higher-risk tasks and “break-glass” procedures for emergencies. Network controls (IP allowlists/VPN where required) reduce exposure of management interfaces. Support channel access is restricted to named customer contacts and verified requestors; sensitive changes require secondary verification and approval. All admin and support actions are logged and reviewed.

Security governance
- Named board-level person responsible for service security
- Yes
- Security governance certified
- Yes
- Security governance standards
- ISO/IEC 27001
- Information security policies and processes
-
We follow a structured information security management approach with documented policies, clear accountability, and routine assurance to ensure controls are implemented and evidenced.
Our policies cover (as a minimum): access control and MFA, acceptable use, data classification and handling, encryption and key management, secure configuration and patching, vulnerability management, incident response and breach reporting, supplier risk, secure development (SDLC), change management, logging and monitoring, backup and recovery, and retention/deletion.
Reporting structure: overall accountability sits with senior management through our infosec team, with an assigned security lead responsible for day-to-day governance. Security risks, incidents, and compliance status are reviewed regularly by leadership, with escalation for high-severity issues and formal sign-off for material risk decisions.
How we ensure policies are followed: we use role-based access, least-privilege permissions, segregation of environments, and preventative controls (e.g., enforced encryption, logging, and secure baseline configurations). We run staff onboarding and refresher training, maintain an audit trail of admin activity, and perform scheduled risk assessments, internal checks, vulnerability scanning, and penetration testing. Findings are tracked to remediation with owners and deadlines. Where we use AWS services, we apply cloud security best practice and continuous monitoring to detect and respond to threats. - Software Security Code of Practice
- Yes
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- Our configuration and change management follows our SDLC gates. All work is raised and tracked in ClickUp as user stories/defects, reviewed for duplicates and prioritised, then scheduled into feature or maintenance sprints. Code and configuration are version-controlled in GitLab, giving full traceability from ticket to commit to release. Security impact is assessed during sprint planning and through mandated testing (including security-focused test cases), plus updates to the risk register and third-party component register where relevant. Before release we complete a Release Readiness Review (RRR) with release and rollback plans; emergency fixes remain tested and reviewed.
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- We run a risk-based vulnerability management process. At least weekly we review new CVEs and supplier security advisories relevant to our stack and subscribe to notification services for emerging issues. We assess threats by severity, exploitability, exposure (internet-facing vs internal) and data sensitivity. Patches are deployed as soon as practicable, typically via automated patching for routine updates and controlled maintenance releases for scheduled vendor cycles (e.g., Microsoft). Where a patch is not available, we apply safe mitigations (configuration changes, compensating controls, IP blocking/rules) informed by log monitoring for anomalous activity. Actions are recorded, tracked to closure, and verified.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- We operate protective monitoring through continuous log and event review across our services and infrastructure. Potential compromises are identified by detecting anomalies and indicators of compromise, such as unusual login patterns, privilege changes, unexpected traffic spikes, repeated authentication failures, suspicious API usage, or integrity/availability alerts. Alerts are triaged by severity/verified using supporting logs and system context. Where compromise is suspected, we initiate incident response: contain (block IPs, disable accounts/keys, isolate components), eradicate (remove artefacts, patch/configure), and recover (restore services, validate integrity). We respond to high-severity alerts immediately, with initial triage within hours, and provide timely communications and post-incident reporting.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- We operate a structured incident management process with defined severity levels, roles, and escalation. We maintain pre-defined playbooks for common events (service outage, security alert, failed deployment, performance degradation, third-party disruption) including containment, rollback, and communications steps. Users can report incidents via our support email/helpdesk and (where agreed) a dedicated phone or on-call escalation route for high-severity issues. We acknowledge incidents, provide regular updates until resolution, and coordinate actions with affected customers. For material incidents, we provide an incident report covering timeline, impact, root cause, corrective actions, and any prevention measures, shared by email and available for download on request.
