Scaling

• Independence of resources: Services are based on flexible and scalable server designs layered onto virtualization technologies. Allows horizontal scaling and vertical scaling to be implemented as required. All services are built from multiple servers so appropriate levels of scaling can be applied to specific areas to ensure application performance is maintained.

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: 99.50%. ; ; Please see the Terms and Conditions document for the Service Level Availability criteria and Service Credit information should the guaranteed availability levels not be met.
• Approach to resilience: The service is designed with resilience as a fundamental principle. Hosting is typically deployed within Microsoft Azure UK regions, leveraging Azure’s highly available architecture. This includes zone redundancy, ensuring workloads are distributed across multiple availability zones to mitigate the impact of localised failures. In addition, geo-redundant backups are maintained across separate UK data centres, providing robust disaster recovery capabilities and safeguarding data integrity.; ; Azure’s infrastructure offers automated failover, continuous monitoring, and scalable resources to maintain service continuity during unexpected events. These measures are complemented by enterprise-class observability through LogicMonitor, which provides real-time performance monitoring and alerting, enabling proactive intervention. Application telemetry is also integrated to ensure early detection of potential issues.
• Outage reporting: Our service uses a proactive approach to outage reporting and incident management. All outages are recorded as part of our formal incident management process. If a problem is detected, the service desk promptly informs customers through agreed communication channels.; To enhance early detection, we employ enterprise-class observability via LogicMonitor and application telemetry through Vilico. These tools are fully integrated into our infrastructure, providing real-time visibility into system health and performance. This integration enables engineers to identify anomalies and potential issues before they escalate, allowing for rapid intervention and minimising service disruption.; Currently, outage notifications are delivered directly to customers by the service desk rather than through a public dashboard or API.

System C proactively identifies the industry and customer related legal and/or regulatory security requirements and incorporates these into the Integrated Management System Information Security Management System. Compliance is monitored by external and internal audits, security monitoring and process reviews. All personnel, whether employees, contractors, consultants or visitors, are required to comply with the Quality and Security guidelines, procedures and mechanisms and to confirm compliance annually to ensure that the Security guidelines, procedures and mechanisms are observed in the performance of the company's activities.

The configuration and Change Management area of Jira is visible to our customers, allowing them to see raised Requests For Change (RFCs) and track their progress. As part of the approvals process, a Risk Assessment is performed to reduce the likelihood of a potential security impact.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: We subscribe to multiple vendor, supplier and government (e.g. NHS Digital CareCERT) security advisory emails and all advisories are assessed for risk and applicability to our technology and services and remedial action as required is scheduled accordingly based on this assessment. Routine patches are typically applied quarterly with any deemed higher risk applied out of normal cycles as required based on the risk assessment.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: We employ a comprehensive protective monitoring process using a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform integrated with threat intelligence and telemetry. All activity is continuously monitored by our dedicated 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), enabling rapid identification of potential compromises. When an anomaly is detected, incidents are immediately triaged, containment measures applied, and root cause analysis initiated. Critical incidents are addressed within minutes, ensuring swift mitigation and minimal impact on service availability.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: Users report incidents using the ITIL3 aligned ITSM, Jira. The Service Desk has full online capabilities for raising, recording and monitoring issues including real time SLA management.; We have pre-defined processes in cases such as System Down situations which trigger internal business alerts to ensure the correct teams are on hand from the start.; Users can view the progress of any issue online with real time updates and create filters and dashboards of information recorded in the system and export data when required. Reports can also be provided to the customer on a monthly basis.
