Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: The service is hosted on resilient cloud infrastructure within Microsoft Azure UK regions and is designed to provide high availability. The service operates to a 99.5% availability target per calendar month, measured at application level and excluding planned maintenance.; Planned maintenance is scheduled outside normal business hours wherever possible and users are given advance notice if service access may be affected. Availability is monitored continuously, with automated recovery mechanisms in place to minimise disruption and restore service promptly in the event of an incident.; Availability is provided in line with the service’s standard SLA. No automatic financial service credits or refunds are offered if availability targets are not met, although incidents impacting availability are prioritised for investigation and resolution. Where a disruption has a material impact, we work with affected buyers to understand the issue and agree appropriate mitigation.
• Approach to resilience: The service is designed with resilience built into both the application and hosting environment. It is hosted within Microsoft Azure UK regions, using cloud infrastructure designed to tolerate component failure and maintain service availability. Azure datacentres provide resilient power, cooling, physical security, and network connectivity, supported by multiple layers of redundancy.; At application level, the service uses managed cloud services that support automatic recovery and restart in the event of faults. Core components are monitored continuously to detect issues early, allowing prompt response and remediation. Data is stored on resilient storage services with built-in redundancy to protect against data loss.; Regular backups are taken and retained in line with the data protection and retention policies, supporting recovery in the event of system failure or data corruption. During planned maintenance, changes are tested before deployment.; Detailed information about the underlying datacentre resilience controls is provided by Microsoft and is available on request.
• Outage reporting: Outages are reported through direct communication with affected users rather than a public-facing status page. If an outage or service degradation is identified, the issue is logged and investigated promptly by the support team.; ; If an outage affects user access or assessment activity, email notifications are issued to buyer contacts and impacted users to confirm the issue, provide status updates, and advise when service restoration is expected, until the issue is resolved.; ; The service does not currently provide a public status dashboard or an API for outage reporting. Monitoring and alerting are handled internally to identify availability issues as early as possible, allowing corrective action to be taken quickly.; ; Following resolution of a significant outage, information can be provided to buyers on request, including the cause of the issue and any corrective actions taken.

Our governance framework is informed by recognised best practice, including the principles of ISO/IEC 27001, and is reviewed as the platform evolves.
• Information security policies and processes: We follow a set of documented IS policies and processes designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all processed data. These include policies covering information security, data protection, access control, acceptable use, incident management, secure development practices, and supplier management.

Day-to-day implementation is supported by operational staff with defined responsibilities for access management, monitoring and incident response.; Compliance with policies is supported through role-based access controls, least-privilege principles, and clear procedures for granting, reviewing and removing access. Security considerations are built into development and change processes, with changes tested before release. Logging and monitoring are used to identify unusual activity or potential issues.; Security incidents or concerns are reported via specified internal processes and investigated promptly. Where required, issues are escalated to senior management and corrective actions are tracked to completion.
• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: Service components, including application code, configuration settings and cloud resources, are version-controlled, tracked throughout their lifecycle. Changes are proposed, reviewed and approved before they are implemented. Each change is assessed for potential security impact, including effects on access controls, data protection and service availability. Where appropriate, changes are tested in a controlled environment prior to release. Logs and records of changes are maintained to support traceability and accountability.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: Information on emerging threats is obtained from trusted sources: Microsoft Azure security advisories, NCSC, UK NVD, and relevant CVE disclosures. Identified vulnerabilities are prioritised based on risk and potential impact. Patches and updates are applied as soon as practicable, with higher-risk issues addressed urgently. All changes are tested before deployment to reduce unintended security impacts.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Carried out by a combination of application logging and cloud platform monitoring. ; Logs are reviewed to identify unusual activity, failed access attempts, or unexpected system behaviour that may indicate a potential compromise. ; Alerts and issues are investigated promptly to confirm impact and scope. ; Where a potential compromise is identified, access can be restricted and affected components isolated while corrective action is taken. ; Incidents are prioritised based on risk, with critical issues responded to immediately during support hours and escalated to senior staff as required. Lessons learned are used to strengthen controls and monitoring over time.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: Procedures are in place for common events such as service outages, access issues and suspected security incidents. Users report incidents via email or the online support ticketing system during support hours. Reported incidents are logged, assessed and prioritised based on impact and urgency. Updates are provided to affected users by email as the incident is investigated and resolved. For significant incidents, a summary report can be provided on request, outlining the nature of the issue, actions taken and any follow-up measures.
