Information security policies and processes
An ISMP has been established to enable the service to maintain and improve its management system for information security. Through establishment of the ISMP, the service plans for and manages protection of its assets to acceptable security levels based on defined risk management processes. In addition, the service monitors the ISMS and the effectiveness of controls in maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of assets to continuously improve information security.

The ISMS framework encompasses industry best-practices for information security and privacy. The ISMS has been documented and communicated in a customer-facing Information Security Policy, which can be made available upon request (customers and prospective customers must have a signed NDA or equivalent in place to receive a copy).

The service performs annual ISMS reviews, the results of which are reviewed by management. This involves monitoring ongoing effectiveness and improvement of the ISMS control environment by reviewing security issues, audit results, and monitoring status, and by planning and tracking necessary corrective actions.

The Microsoft Cloud Security Policy is available via the Service Trust Platform aka.ms/stp

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 service has developed formal standard operating procedures (SOPs) governing the change management process. These SOPs cover both software development and hardware change and release management, and are consistent with established regulatory guidelines including ISO 27001, SOC 1/SOC 2, NIST 800-53, and others.
Microsoft also uses Operational Security Assurance (OSA), a framework that incorporates the knowledge gained through a variety of capabilities that are unique to Microsoft. OSA combines this knowledge with the experience of running hundreds of thousands of servers in datacenters around the world.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
In support of the Information Security Policy, the service runs multiple layers of antivirus software to ensure protection from common malicious software. Servers within the the service environment run anti-virus software that scans files uploaded and downloaded from the service for viruses or other malware. Additionally, all mails coming into the service run through the Exchange Online Protection engine, which uses multiple antivirus and antispam engines to capture known and new threats against the system. Microsoft has its own Security Response Center (MSRC) that also supplies information to all our customers covering the whole range Microsoft products.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
The service employs sophisticated software-defined service instrumentation and monitoring that integrates at the component or server level, the datacenter edge, our network backbone, Internet exchange sites, and at the real or simulated user level, providing visibility when a service disruption is occurring and pinpointing its cause.

Proactive monitoring continuously measures the performance of key subsystems of the the service services platform against the established boundaries for acceptable service performance and availability. When a threshold is reached or an irregular event occurs, the monitoring system generates warnings so that operations staff can address the threshold or event.
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
Please see http://aka.ms/Office365SIM

Bechtle are actively taking steps to ensure that we operate our business with as little environmental impact as possible. As a group, we are Ecovadis Gold and ISO14001 certified, and are committed to becoming carbon net zero by 2030.

Bechtle have established a database for recording Scope 1 and 2 (direct and indirect CO2 emissions) and Scope 3 (that of the Bechtle Group, such as purchased goods and services, transportation and distribution, business travel, and employee commuting) emissions. We are collecting data through group-wide sustainability software, WeSustain, and have used the data to produce a Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) that is published on our website (Carbon-Reduction-Plan-BechtleUK-2022.pdf) and updated annually.

Supply chain management
We work closely with our vendor partners to broaden our portfolio of sustainable technologies, solutions, and services, and could help to minimise the future environmental impact.

Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery
Many organisations have had to change their operating models and ways of working following the COVID-19 pandemic. IT also became clear to a number of our customers that their infrastructure that supported old ways of working, no longer supported new hybrid or remote working models. Through a thorough infrastructure review we can not only advise our customer on what best suits their current operating models but we can also help them to be future-ready. We can help them improve productivity, utilisation and adoption, getting maximum productivity out of their investment, whilst saving costs and limiting environmental impact through cloud/ hybrid adoption.
