Approach to resilience
Systems are hosted on virtualised infrastructure to ensure scalability, high availability and reduce single point of failures. All infrastructure implements an N+1 policy to ensure rapid resolution of infrastructure downtime. Frequent backups, database mirroring and multiple servers in separate geo-locations ensure robust resiliency. Data processed by our accredited data centre is hosted within industry standard data platform that conforms to industry best practices (ISO27001 & G-Cloud IL3) and standards for security as defined in the relevant contract terms and conditions.

Information security policies and processes
Aligned to our British Assessment Bureau certification ISO 27001:2022 we have established Information Security Management systems (ISMS) that ensure our overall approach to information security and the processes we follow, encompassing the information security policy. Regular ISMS review meetings review and refine the functioning of the ISMS, and progress against actions arising from internal audit and external ISO assurance visits. There is a formal annual review of the ISMS to further ensure its continuing suitability and correct implementation.
Annual internal audit is used to ensure policies are being followed and identify any remedial actions required.
To support the effective delivery of information security, we train all staff on induction, and as part of annual Information Governance refresher training. This approach delivers against our Information Security policy.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
In line with our central NHS assurance we implement a standard ITIL deployment methodology for all Design, Development and Change Management practices for software and platform releases. We use a standard methodology to log, track and manage change requests. All Releases and changes are version controlled through our Change Management process. All system changes complete UAT and Release requirements.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Our vulnerability management approach consists of a combination of internal vulnerability scanners, system monitoring and industry sources. We apply patches within 14 days of their release, unless regarded as urgent which are implemented upon release . We also utilise the NHS CARE-cert and nationally recognised industry vulnerability publications.
We also undertake regular penetration testing against OWASP top 10.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Utilising real time firewall based Intrusion Detection / Prevention Systems (IDS / IPS) to actively monitor and prevent intrusions. Alerts are issued on any suspicious activity and investigated immediately by the technical security team.

Fighting climate change

Eclipse has implemented steps to effectively measure climate change with respect to greenhouse gases, waste and water as part of our carbon reduction plan in line with NHS Net Zero aspirations.
1. Measurement:
Greenhouse Gases: We employ a greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement protocol following internationally recognised
Waste: To measure waste generation, we track waste streams at all stages of our operations..
Water: For water management, we implement a water footprint analysis to measure our consumption, with monthly site measurements and analytics.
2. Reduction Strategies:
Greenhouse Gases: Our GHG reduction strategies include investing in energy-efficient technologies, transitioning to renewable energy, optimising transportation (all company cars are electric, and logistics to reduce emissions, promoting sustainable practices within our supply chain. We set ambitious emission reduction targets aligned with science-based targets to limit global warming. In addition, we have our own charity, MyTree4Life, that is currently providing an international centre for reforestation in Tanzania (https://www.mytree4life.org/).
Waste: To reduce waste generation, we emphasise waste minimisation through recycling programmes, and waste-to-energy initiatives. As an IT service with predominantly web-based workflows, product and packaging waste is minimal – we aim to further minimise waste through environmentally conscious office practices such as minimal printing and paper utilisation.
Water: Our conservation strategies involve implementing water-efficient technologies, conducting water risk assessments, and engaging in community-based water stewardship initiatives. We set targets to reduce water usage and improve water quality.
3. Ongoing Effectiveness Review:
We conduct regular audits of our GHG emissions, comparing them to baseline data and target reductions.
Waste: We track waste generation data on a monthly basis and conduct waste audits to identify areas for improvement.
Water: usage data is reviewed quarterly
summary, we are committed to continuous improvement and transparency in our sustainability efforts to mitigate climate change and protect the environment.

Covid-19 recovery

Our service implementation is specifically designed to empower localities to both optimise outcomes and enable local work force priorities and allow local work forces to recover from covid-19 due to the creation of local high quality jobs. This can incorporate local workflow preferences and engagement targets. We work with Practices, their Patient Participation Groups and other key local stakeholders to ensure both recipients of the service and those involved in its implementation can be matched to local employment priorities. All service delivery will conform with best practice NHS project implementation.

We implement our services very much in conjunction with our service users and their communities. This is a priority given our experience over the last 10 years+ of implementing clinical support services across more than 80 CCGs. We invite local input throughout the service to optimise design, objective, implementation, and validation to reflect local priorities.

Recognising the impact of COVID-19 on young people aged 16-24, we have prioritised our education engagement activities. Our training arms offers traineeships and work placement opportunities.

Equal opportunity

We have a robust and equality lead safer recruitment policy, ensuring that our recruitment processes are inclusive and that there are equal opportunities for all. With this in mind we are a disability confident committed employer and we are committed to paying ‘the real living wage’ for all of our employees.

Wellbeing

Embedding Effective Measures for Health and Wellbeing in the Workforce:
we prioritise the health and wellbeing of our workforce as a fundamental aspect of our corporate responsibility. We understand that a healthy and happy workforce is more productive and engaged. To achieve this, we have implemented comprehensive measures that encompass both physical and mental health, which are constantly evaluated and improved upon.

1. Measuring Physical and Mental Health/Wellbeing:

Physical Health:
• Health Assessments: We conduct regular health assessments for our workforce
• Ergonomic Assessments: We assess the ergonomic conditions of workstations and job tasks to ensure they are conducive to good physical health. Adjustments are made as needed to prevent workplace injuries.
• Health Promotion Campaigns: We run regular campaigns on topics like smoking cessation, healthy eating, and stress management to educate and encourage healthier lifestyles.
Mental Health:
• Mental Health Awareness: We provide mental health awareness training to all workers, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to identify signs of mental health issues in themselves and their colleagues.
• Stress Management Programmes: We offer stress management programmes and resources, such as mindfulness workshops and stress-reduction techniques, to help workers manage workplace and personal stressors.
• Regular Check-Ins: Supervisors conduct regular one-on-one check-ins with workers to assess their mental wellbeing, ensuring they feel supported and heard.
2. Reviewing Measures for Ongoing Effectiveness:
Physical Health:
• Data Analysis
• Worker Feedback
• Continuous Improvement
Mental Health:
• Anonymous Surveys:
• Training Effectiveness:

In summary, Eclipse is committed to creating a workforce environment that promotes and protects the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our employees. We recognise that a healthy workforce is essential for success, and we continuously strive to enhance the support we provide. This contributes towards the high retention and extremely low employee turnover rates.
