Our customers and regulators expect independent verification of security, privacy and compliance controls. The service provider undergoes independent third party audits on a regular basis to provide this assurance. This means that an independent auditor has examined the controls present in our data centres, infrastructure and operations.
Service infrastructure is certified for a growing number of compliance standards and controls, and undergoes several independent third party audits to test for data safety, privacy, and security
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
- Software updates are manually vetted to ensure the stability of the system. Changes are then tested and cautiously rolled out to systems. The details vary somewhat depending on the update being considered, but all development work is separated from the operation systems, testing occurs in a multi-staged fashion in both environments and in dedicated test settings. Additionally, changes to code go through a process of code review involving additional engineers.
- Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Webroot administrates a vulnerability management process that actively scans for security threats using a combination of commercially available and purpose-built tools, intensive automated/manual penetration efforts, quality assurance processes, software security reviews and external audits. The vulnerability management team is responsible for tracking and following up on vulnerabilities. Once a vulnerability requiring remediation has been identified, it is logged, prioritised according to severity, and assigned an owner. The vulnerability management team tracks such issues and follows up frequently until they can verify that the issues have been remediated.
- Protective monitoring type
- Undisclosed
- Protective monitoring approach
- Focused on information gathered from network traffic, employee actions on systems and outside knowledge of vulnerabilities. Traffic is inspected at many points for suspicious behaviour. Analysis is performed using open-source and commercial tools for traffic capture and parsing, supported by a correlation system built on top of Webroot's technology. Analysis is supplemented by examining system logs for unusual behaviour, such as attempted access of customer data.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- If an incident occurs, the security team logs and prioritises it according to severity. Events directly impacting customers are assigned the highest priority. This process specifies courses of action, procedures for notification, escalation, mitigation, and documentation. Webroot's incident management program is structured around NIST guidance on handling incidents. Key staff are trained in forensics and handling evidence in preparation for an event, including the use of third-party and proprietary tools. Testing of incident response plans is performed for key areas, such as systems that store sensitive customer information. Tests consider a variety of scenarios, including insider threats and software vulnerabilities.

Fighting climate change
The environmental benefits of our G-Cloud Service provision are substantiated by Microsoft’s own studies and commitments towards climate change.
A 2018 study found that using the cloud platforms can be up to 93% more energy efficient and up to 98% more carbon efficient than on-premises solutions.
Real sustainability requires solutions that address wastefulness at every level of a business. Hosting on the cloud is more environmentally friendly and results in less of a carbon footprint.
Cloud infrastructures support environmental proactivity, powering virtual services rather than physical products and hardware, and cutting down on paper waste, improving energy efficiency, and (given that it allows employees access from anywhere with an internet connection) reducing commuter-related emissions. Independent reports predict that data centre energy consumption would drop by 31% from based on the adoption of cloud computing and other virtual data options. - Wellbeing

Wellbeing
The primary benefits of Microsoft's cloud services are the transfer of ownership of compliance and maintenance of cloud infrastructure and its security and that IT Managers and business owners no longer need to be concerned about those elements of their IT systems once in a Microsoft cloud platform. This has a massive positive impact on wellbeing of employees within organisations across the world.
