API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
WebMap includes Local Knowledge and Quick Search web services and an API which allows the developer to create:

Add-In Extensions – WebMap allows extender Add-Ins to be written which can add custom workflows, dialogs and functionality to the website. These can use existing interface client (JavaScript) and server (C#) API from the WML API as well as adding extra capabilities using GeognoSIS and Open Layers API.

Bespoke Applications – WebMap maps can be dropped into an aspx page with custom functionality and design.

Embeddable Maps – Using JavaScript on the client side, this approach allows the user to drop a map into any exisiting page. With additional development the MapID can be used to programmatically access the map object and add custom or packaged controls.

GeognoSIS features two API's. The SOAP API is the natural programming environment for enterprise applications when fine-grained access to the GisLink API is required. The HTTP API provides the ideal environment for modern, browser- and JavaScript-centric web development, offering a resource-centric view of the spatial data and analysis capabilities of GeognoSIS.

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
The Cadcorp Quality Management System in compliance with ISO 9001 fully describes the Cadcorp configuration and change management processes.

All components of the service are tracked through their lifetime. For example software components are part of a formal software release cycle and are tracked through their lifetime using version control. Similarly changes and configurations to a service implementation are tracked within the Cadcorp customer support database using a unique reference ID.

Changes are assessed for potential security impacts inline with Cadcorp ISO 27001 Security Manual and security forms part of the Cadcorp software quality assurance testing.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
The Cadcorp vulnerability management process requires anti virus software to be installed on all servers. This software provides the server administrator Status and Detection reports to allow Cadcorp to assess potential threats.

Patches will be deployed inline with the time periods described within the Cadcorp SLA.

Information about potential threats comes from a wide range of stakeholders including the antivirus Status and Detection reports.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
The anti virus software installed on all servers allows Cadcorp to identify potential compromises. This software provides the server administrator Status and Detection reports that detail potential compromises. In house and external penetration testing is also used to identify potential compromises.

When a potential compromise is identified it will be classified inline with the Cadcorp SLA response categories.

Depending on the category Cadcorp will use our reasonable endeavors to respond within 4 to 8 working hours.
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
All incidents should be reported to the Cadcorp support desk. The customer will receive a report ID number to use for subsequent enquires. If the incident is related to a common event the support desk will invoke a pre-defined process. Incident reports can be provided on request.
