Scaling

Independence of resources
Echoworx scales the service to ensure all incoming email volume is processed without
delay. When required, additional instances of the encryption engine and/or the secure web
portal can be deployed without any service interruption. With respect to external recipients
accessing the secure web portal, Echoworx uses a multi-version concurrency control
database to allow simultaneous access to data. File or database record deadlocks are
avoided by ensuring row locks are obtained in a consistent order

Approach to resilience
All services are redundant. Multiple instances of both the encryption engine and the secure
web portal are load-balanced and running in a single datacenter. Furthermore, the services are
replicated in a secondary datacentre for DR purposes.
Outage reporting
The portal provides public updates and there are email and text alerts for any severe outages.

provision accounts (using provided customer email address(s)) and the user will choose a
secure password when they create their account. Access granted is role based such that
Echoworx Operations will see options and configuration that is not available to customer
administrators. There is also a special role with reduced access for credential management
(PGP keys, SMIME keys) and Reporting.

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
Change is managed at all levels through the design, software development, quality
assurance, deployment, and operational management of the services. Some examples: All
source code is versioned and tagged in a Version Control System. Change requests are
reviewed weekly by Product Management, Sales Engineering, Operations, and
Development. Change requests are assigned to the current or future release based on
severity and value to the solution. All production system changes, including config changes,
are documented and tracked in the ticketing system and reviewed by management . Before
any version of the software is deployed changes are approved by Symantec Product
Management.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Echoworx has a series of IDS, and IPS systems in place in their environment. Additionally,
routine vulnerability and penetration testing is performed on its services. Echoworx is
registered to receive updates via 3rd party mailing lists of almost all 3rd party tools used in
the environment. The committed response time for deploying a new security patch from a 3rd
party is 1-2 days for high severity / critical security patches. If the security patch is minor, or
does not affect the Echoworx solution, it may be released after it has been tested during the
next planned major release of software.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
For 3rd party compromises, the answer from Vulnerability management (slide 29) can be
repeated here. On the topic of application monitoring, the Operations team has system and
log file monitoring in place that will alert the team of any errors. Service degrading errors are
addressed immediately when possible with infrastructure changes, otherwise the issue is
escalated to the Product group for assessment and resolution via a software patch.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Symantec’s internal Security Incident Response Plan documents repeatable, industry standard procedures for handling actual cyber threats when they arise. It also provides the necessary engagement and information-sharing processes to allow prompt coordination among all relevant stakeholders, and describes the reporting, communication, containment, investigation, and recovery mechanisms that exist to support a comprehensive end-to-end process flow from threat detection through remediation. The development and implementation of this forward-looking plan supports Symantec’s ultimate mission to its
customers, partners, shareholders, and employees as a trusted leader in information security risk management.
