- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
We provide API access across the service and support integrations (e.g., identity providers and CRM systems). APIs enable Buyers to integrate voice, messaging, meetings and contact centre capabilities into business applications and workflows. APIs are available via the Developer Portal.
Using the API, users can automate service setup and ongoing administration such as user provisioning, identity and authentication configuration, licence assignment, feature enablement, and retrieval of analytics and reporting data. Typical API use cases include synchronising users from an IdP, integrating communications into CRM workflows, automating reporting, and enabling real-time dashboards.
Users can make changes through the API including updating user attributes (e.g., name, email and department), enabling/disabling supported features, and managing supported provisioning and integration settings.
Limitations depend on the specific API and permissions. Some actions may be restricted by role-based access controls, certain attributes may not be synchronised, and some delete or irreversible actions may not be supported. API use may also require compatible environments (e.g., TLS 1.2+). - API documentation

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- We strive to maintain our services available to Buyers 24x7 and offer a Service Level Agreement (SLA) covering system availability and call quality. We ensure a consistent and reliable end-user experience through a highly available architecture. All service availability calculations and determinations are based on our records and data. We make commercially reasonable efforts to respond to unplanned service interruptions reported through our Buyer support channels.
- Approach to resilience
- A dedicated Architecture team conducts thorough reviews of all significant changes to service definitions and products before their release. This review involves scrutinising design and implementation to identify potential service risks. System components undergo systematic evaluation and risk assessment using the "Failure Mode and Effects Analysis" methodology. Risks are scored based on factors such as methods of failure detection, automation of failover, failover duration, severity of failure impact, and likelihood of occurrence. If a component or system poses an unacceptable risk, the proposed solution is rejected, and engineers are tasked with refining the solution or providing mitigations. Mitigations may include implementing faster detection methods, adding redundancy, reducing recovery times, or making lower-level software changes to enhance resilience against failure modes.
- Outage reporting
-
We provide management alerts should any service affecting, or security incident occur. The management alerts are sent via dedicated messaging channels and include an audio conference bridge.
Updates are provided through the Buyers' web-based Support Portal.
Updates are as they occur (consolidated if many changes are occurring) and the update messages state when the next update will be issued if nothing changes by that time.
Desktop exercises are conducted at least annually to test the incident response policy and processes which includes senior stakeholders in the business.
In cases where multiple Buyers are affected, a Master ticket is generated, and all Buyer portals are automatically updated with relevant information from the Master ticket. Updates to the Master ticket are made as events occur, with multiple changes consolidated into single updates when necessary. Each update message specifies when the next update will be issued, if there are no changes in the interim.

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Configuration and change management approach
- Changes to an IT environment are the biggest cause of future incidents or service degredation. Our detailed Change Management process assesses the risk of changes and ensures a forward schedule of change is published to the service desk to ensure changes are communicated and carried out successfully. All changes that carry a risk are fully agreed and approved by the relevant manager before being considered for implementation. For Buyer-specific projects, we implement a change control process which ensures that each change proposed during a project is properly defined, considered and approved before implementation. This ensures services are not disrupted.
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- The vulnerability management program is owned by the CISO. Vulnerabilities identified have tickets created which are prioritised based on criticality. DAST and SAST tools are used as part of vulnerability management.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- We employ monitoring systems used by Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), Network Operations Centre (NOC) and engineering teams to manage services. Monitoring spans low-level device events and application logs, providing performance and anonymised usage data. Security controls, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and identity management (IDM), feed into the global SIEM to detect unusual activity and security issues. Logs and events feed into redundant service performance monitoring systems that track network, storage and processing health. Engineering teams use AI/ML predictive thresholds to monitor 1,000 microservices and report to senior management to address concerns and prevent future issues.
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- We provide management alerts for service-affecting or security incidents. Alerts are sent via dedicated messaging channels to responsible individuals globally and include an audio conference bridge. Buyer communications are provided via a web-based Support Portal. Updates are issued as events occur, consolidated where appropriate, and state when the next update will be provided if no change occurs. Desktop exercises are conducted at least annually to test incident response policies and processes, involving senior business stakeholders.
