Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Both 1Capture and 1Edit are designed to be intuitive, easy-to-use mobile applications, suitable for both GIS and non-GIS users.
We provide both on-site and online training to help users start using the service. User documentation and training guides (as well as administrator user documentation and training guides) are also available for users to self-study. - Service documentation

- HTML
- End-of-contract data extraction
-
The geospatial mobile apps are designed around field surveys and jobs, which are typically small portions of a wider dataset.
The apps are not the final destination of the data, and in all expected usecases, the data collected and the details of the job are syndicated back to the customers' GIS application.
Nonetheless, should any data remain unsyndicated on mobile devices come the end of the contract, 1Spatial maintains tools to enable us to extract this data and return it to the rightful owners. More broadly, we do not operate a business model which we aim to or depend on the user losing access to their data once the contract ends. - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract, the mobile apps will cease to work on the devices on which they are installed, due to the licence period having expired. Beyond that, the contract between the customer and 1Spatial will expire.
If desired, an extended licence can be issued, which will extend the duration of the mobile apps functioning, although this is chargeable as it represents a new licence period.

- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
Both 1Capture and 1Edit are highly configurable commercial off the shelf (COTS) products, designed to be customisable for a wide range of use-cases.
For 1Capture, map layers, assets, jobs, styles, rules, and actions may all be customised to suit the buyer's needs, specific scenarios, and data.
For 1Edit, map layers, assets, jobs, styles, and rules may all be customised to suit the buyer's needs, specific scenarios, and data.
Users may customise these elements in a series of configuration components, which may be reconfigured as needed by the customers' own administrators of the application.
Configuration may also be locked down should the customer desire it, as part of the deployment process by 1Spatial for that customer.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
Both 1Capture and 1Edit are mobile applications that run locally on a mobile device, and can be used offline.
Accordingly, resources are already fully independent at the hardware level.

- Other data at rest protection approach
-
Being geospatial mobile apps, data is not stored at rest within the 1Capture and 1Edit mobile apps.
Typically, an extract or subset of the customer's master dataset (e.g. of a specific local area) is loaded onto the mobile device as part of a job, which may then be accessed offline. This data is encrypted on the physical device, and may only be accessed through the mobile application in question. - Data sanitisation process
- Yes
- Data sanitisation type
- Deleted data can’t be directly accessed
- Equipment disposal approach
- A third-party destruction service
Data importing and exporting
- Data export approach
-
For 1Capture, data is exchanged through feature services (APIs running over secure Internet connection), syndicating back to the customer's master dataset (geospatial databases and environments). In addition, 1Capture users may export data as GML files.
For 1Edit, data is exchanged through GML file transfer, or through integrated through use of 1Spatial's Spatial Management Suite (1SMS). - Data export formats

Both 1Capture and 1Edit are mobile applications, and 1Spatial does not utilise its own network as part of the service architecture.
Therefore only the buyer's network is relevant to the security of data when using 1Capture and 1Edit.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
As mobile applications designed to work both online and offline, both 1Capture and 1Edit may be fully available at all times once installed.
The part of the overall geospatial architecture likely to cause service disruption for mobile users is the web feature services/geospatial master datasets (e.g. Esri ArcGIS, WFS).
These web feature services/geospatial master datasets are not part of the 1Capture nor 1Edit services, and therefore are outside of the purview of this specific question. The mobile apps are available for the customer to install via their own mobile device management tools.
Accordingly, SLAs and user refunds are broadly non-applicable to this type of service predicated on mobile apps designed to be integrated with other web feature services/geospatial master datasets . - Approach to resilience
-
As mobile apps, a datacentre is neither required nor utilised in the provision of this service.
Both 1Capture and 1Edit are rigorously tested using a suite of pre-defined, standardised tests as part of any release process. - Outage reporting
- As mobile applications designed to work both online and offline, both 1Capture and 1Edit may be fully available at all times once installed. The part of the overall geospatial architecture likely to cause service disruption for mobile users is the web feature services/geospatial master datasets (e.g. Esri ArcGIS, WFS). These web feature services/geospatial master datasets are not part of the 1Capture nor 1Edit services, and therefore are outside of the purview of this specific question. Accordingly service outages are not a possible scenario for the use of these mobile applications. Any errors occurring in the local installations of the mobile applications themselves may be reported to the 1Spatial Support team for triage and fixing.

- As a modern, forward-looking business, 1Spatial Group Limited recognises at senior levels the need to ensure that its business operates smoothly and without interruption for the benefit of its customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. In order to provide such a level of continuous operation, 1Spatial Group Limited has implemented an Information Security Management System (ISMS) in line with the International Standard for Information Security, ISO/IEC 27001. This standard defines the requirements for an ISMS based on internationally recognised best practice. The operation of the ISMS has many benefits for the business, including: Protection of revenue streams and company profitability Ensuring the supply of goods and services to customers Maintenance and enhancement of shareholder value Compliance with legal and regulatory requirements 1Spatial Group Limited has decided to maintain full certification to ISO/IEC 27001 in order that the effective adoption of information security best practice may be validated by an independent third party, a Registered Certification Body (RCB). This policy applies to all systems, people and processes that constitute the organization’s information systems, including board members, directors, employees, suppliers and other third parties who have access to 1Spatial Group Limited systems.
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
- 1Spatial maintains processes to ensure that changes to our services and their associated components are recorded and then evaluated, authorized, prioritized, planned, tested, implemented, documented and reviewed in a controlled manner. A change request must be assessed for impact (including information security implications) and resource requirements before being considered by the Change Advisory Board (CAB). To assist with impact assessment, the identification of related systems/components affected by the proposed change and input from other affected support groups may be required.

Automated scanning in our code repositories, container registries, cloud services, and third-party library registries We conduct annual penetration testing. We assess the CVEs found against our usage of these components to determine severity. The speed of deploying patches depends on the severity of the vulnerability found, which ranges from minutes to months.
- Protective monitoring type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- 1Spatial makes use of a range of industry-standard third-party monitoring tools. These range from detecting malicious attempts to gain access to our services, to monitoring system health, to audit logging for triage and debugging. All of these assist us to ensure that our services are as secure, resilient, and available as they can be. When we identify compromises, we move swiftly per a defined incident management process to triage the severity and implement a fix for any compromise, depending on the severity.

Fighting climate change
As an operator of cloud computing infrastructure with a focus on natural assets and the environment, 1Spatial considers fighting climate change to be of acute importance to our company, our industry, and the world we live in.
To address climate change, we hold ourselves and others accountable in a number of ways. We report on all scopes of our SRG emissions, targeting a net reduction each year for the next decade or more. We have implemented a certified ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System for reduction in our environmental impact and custodianship of the natural world. This includes supplier assessments and reviews, with a focus on environmental impact.
We are mindful of the enormous (and growing) environmental damage caused by cloud computing. This awareness comprises not just the energy requirements and energy sourcing of cloud computing, but also the heavy water requirement of cloud datacentres, and the electrical waste implications. Microsoft’s commitment for Azure towards use of 100% renewable energy by 2025, water positivity by 2030, and zero-waste certification by 2030 is of significant importance for 1Spatial’s commitment to a fairer deal for the planet.Covid-19 recovery
1Spatial is aware of the lasting impact COVID-19 has had in disabling many people and of the less visible mental scarring and atrophying of local communities that it has caused.
To address this and promote the well-being of our staff, we have implemented a number of mental health and wellbeing initiatives such as training Mental Health First Aiders, a HealthShield cash health plan, and seminars and listening exercises relating to COVID-19 recovery, staff pay and benefits, and more.
Across the UK, many have become disabled, or long-term sick, or have started caring for others who continue to suffer as a result of COVID-19. To better foster inclusion of such people and those in caring roles, we have been operating a remote-first recruitment policy, as well as working with current staff to support them to find the remote working and flexible hours arrangements that suit them.
We also maintain a clean, safe office in our Cambridge HQ that allows for social distancing for those still shielding.
Additionally, we operate a number of apprenticeship, graduate and training programmes that allow those whose livelihoods were affected by the pandemic to retrain and enter new industries.Tackling economic inequality
1Spatial leverages multiple approaches to tackling economic inequality. We have researched and implemented measures to tackle inequality within our workforce. These include taking steps wherever possible to reduce bias in recruitment, and offering multiple entry and progression pathways such as apprenticeships and school-leaver programmes.
1Spatial also considers its role in the wider economy as a provider of data management tools for better decision-making. The effective use of accurate, reliable and complete geospatial data can make a significant difference in helping to reduce economic inequality. Location data is a valuable source for mapping and monitoring economic inequality and analysing the efficacy of solutions that address economic inequality. For instance, location data can be used to provide insights into the relationships and trends between household income and economic activity across the UK. For example, Ordnance Survey data, which is underpinned by 1Spatial’s technology is being used by HMRC to increase the take-up of tax credits so that disabled workers, people on low incomes or with responsibility for children can access the benefits they are entitled to.
Finally, 1Spatial considers that the primary driver of any country’s shared long-term economic prosperity is strong, robust legal institutions and national infrastructure. Our contributions to creating these span our work with utility companies to extend outreach to under-served communities, working on the National Underground Asset Register to make the workforce safety of underground construction work more equal with that of other industries, and ensuring the rule of the law in our work with bodies such as Defra, Land and Property Services, and law enforcement bodies.Equal opportunity
1Spatial has built procedures and attitudes into its operations to promote equal opportunity and reduce inequality.
When we recruit, we take steps wherever possible to reduce bias in recruitment, and offer multiple entry and progression pathways such as apprenticeships and school-leaver programmes.
We also target a broader geographical and human range in our recruitment. We offer remote-only roles across the UK, and work with our staff on flexible working arrangements so their role can fit in around their day-to-day needs. This allows our staff to work within an industry where their life situation may otherwise prevent them.
We maintain a range of apprenticeship and graduate programmes that allow us to attract the people and skills we need as a business. These offer pathways into industries such as HR, finance, geospatial analysis and more. We give each staff member a £400 budget for them to spend on their own professional development and training, allowing them to build the skills they need to flourish in their chosen path.
We are also working towards fostering and supporting greater neurodiversity. We are in the process of setting up a new Cambridge office with designated quiet areas for those who have strong noise level preferences when they work.Wellbeing
1Spatial provides a range of benefits and engages in activities aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of staff, customers, and user community.
For our staff, we provide a range of benefits, including a HealthShield cash plan for wellbeing, mental health first aiders, and enhanced maternity and paternity pay – including pension contributions for the entire maternity/paternity period. We operate internal training courses aimed at fostering a welcoming and discrimination-free environment, as well as those targeted at physical wellbeing such as desk posture and hygiene, and manual lifting.
We are also working towards a fertility and menopause policy.
Elsewhere, we use local suppliers wherever possible, fostering greater integration with the communities around our Cambridge HQ.
When developing software, we make sure to work with user communities during the design process wherever possible, and offer customer events and training to bring users together to foster working relationships.
Finally, we also offer flexible working as well as remote work, allowing our employees greater control of their time and environment.
