End-of-contract data extraction
Depending on the type of AWS service:

- Data may be copied out using OS-level tools (such as xcopy or rsync).
- Data may be copied out using AWS API tools to download data.
- Data may be copied out using application-level tools such as the Sync client or web browser interface.

Some services do not store customer data.

CACI's Cloud Support services can assist customers in extracting their data at contract end.
End-of-contract process
Buyer may terminate the relationship with Supplier for any reason by (i) providing Supplier with notice and (ii) closing Buyers account for all services for which Supplier provide an account closing mechanism.

Buyers pay for the services they use to the point of account termination.

Supplier customers retain control and ownership of their data. Supplier will not erase customer data for 30 days following an account termination. This allows customers to retrieve content from Supplier services so long as the customer has paid any charges for any post-termination use of the service offerings and all other amounts due.

Using the service

Independence of resources
Customer environments are logically segregated to prevent users and customers from accessing resources not assigned to them.

Services which provide virtualized operational environments to customers (i.e. EC2) ensure that customers are segregated via security management processes/controls at the network and hypervisor level.

AWS continuously monitors service usage to project infrastructure needs to support availability commitments/requirements. AWS maintains a capacity planning model to assess infrastructure usage and demands at least monthly, and usually more frequently. In addition, the AWS capacity planning model supports the planning of future demands to acquire and implement additional resources based upon current resources and forecasted requirements.

AWS adheres to independently validated privacy, data protection, security protections and control processes. (Listed under “certifications”).

AWS is responsible for the security of the cloud; customers are responsible for security in the cloud. AWS enables customers to control their content (where it will be stored, how it will be secured in transit or at rest, how access to their AWS environment will be managed).

Wherever appropriate, AWS offers customers options to add additional security layers to data at rest, via scalable and efficient encryption features. AWS offers flexible key management options and dedicated hardware-based cryptographic key storage.
Data sanitisation process
Yes
Data sanitisation type

Data-in-transit protection

Data protection between buyer and supplier networks
  • Private network or public sector network
  • TLS (version 1.2 or above)
  • IPsec or TLS VPN gateway
  • Bonded fibre optic connections
  • Legacy SSL and TLS (under version 1.2)
Data protection within supplier network
Other
Other protection within supplier network
Customer environments are logically segregated to prevent users and customers from accessing resources not assigned to them. AWS gives customers ownership and control over their content by design through simple, but powerful tools that allow customers to determine how their content will be secured in transit.
AWS enables customers to open a secure, encrypted channel to AWS services using TLS/SSL, and/or IPsec or TLS VPN (if applicable), or other means of protection the customer wish to use.
API calls can be encrypted with TLS/SSL to maintain confidentiality; the AWS Console connection is encrypted with TLS.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
AWS currently provides SLAs for several services. Due to the rapidly evolving nature of AWS’s product offerings, SLAs are best reviewed directly on their website via the link below: https://aws.amazon.com/legal/service-level-agreements/

Well-architected solutions on AWS that leverage AWS Service SLA’s and unique AWS capabilities such as multiple Availability Zones, can ease the burden of achieving specific SLA requirements.
Approach to resilience
The AWS Business Continuity plan details the process that AWS follows in the case of an outage, from detection to deactivation. AWS has developed a three-phased approach: Activation and Notification Phase, Recovery Phase, and Reconstitution Phase. This approach ensures that AWS performs system recovery and reconstitution efforts in a methodical sequence, maximizing the effectiveness of the recovery and reconstitution efforts and minimizing system outage time due to errors and omissions.

AWS maintains a ubiquitous security control environment across all regions. Each data centre is built to physical, environmental, and security standards in an active-active configuration, employing an n+1 redundancy model, ensuring system availability in the event of component failure. Components (N) have at least one independent backup component. All data centres are online and serving traffic. In case of failure, there is sufficient capacity to enable traffic to be load-balanced to the remaining sites.

Customers are responsible for implementing contingency planning, training and testing for their systems hosted on AWS. AWS provides customers with the capability to implement a robust continuity plan, including the utilization of frequent server instance back-ups, data redundancy replication, and the flexibility to place instances and store data within multiple geographic regions across multiple Availability Zones.
Outage reporting
Public dashboard; personalised dashboard with API and events; configurable alerting (email / SMS / messaging)

Identity and authentication

User authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google apps)
  • Limited access network (for example PSN)
  • Dedicated link (for example VPN)
  • Username or password
  • Other
Other user authentication
AWS’s Identity and Access Management (IAM) system controls access to AWS services/resources. No actions are permissible without authentication. IAM facilitates the issuance of access permissions per user/group. MFA is available at no extra cost.

AWS CloudTrail allows you to log, continuously monitor and retain events related to API calls across your AWS infrastructure.
Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
IAM provides user access control to AWS services, APIs and specific resources. Other controls include time, originating IP address, SSL use, and whether users authenticated via MFA devices.

API calls to launch/terminate instances, change firewalls, and perform other functions are signed by customers’ Amazon Secret Access Key (either the root AWS Account’s Secret Access Key or the Secret Access key of a user created with AWS IAM).

API calls can be encrypted with TLS/SSL for confidentiality, customers can use TLS/SSL-protected API endpoints.
Access restriction testing frequency
At least every 6 months
Management access authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Other
Description of management access authentication
AWS controls access to systems through authentication that requires a unique user ID and password. AWS systems don't allow actions to be performed without identification or authentication. Remote access requires multi-factor authentication. All remote administrative access attempts are logged and reviewed by the Security team for unauthorized attempts or suspicious activity. Incident response procedure is triggered in case of suspicious activity. AWS employs the concept of least privilege, allowing only the necessary access for users to accomplish their job. User access to AWS systems requires documented approval from authorized personnel.

Information security policies and processes
AWS implements formal, documented policies and procedures that provide guidance for operations and information security within the organisation. Policies address purpose, scope, roles, responsibilities and management commitment.

Employees maintain policies in a centralised and accessible location. AWS Security Assurance is responsible for familiarizing employees with the AWS security policies.

AWS has established information security functions that are aligned with defined structure, reporting lines, and responsibilities. Leadership involvement provides clear direction and visible support for security initiatives.

Policies are approved by AWS leadership at least annually or following a significant change to the AWS environment.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
AWS Security performs vulnerability scans on the host operating system, web applications, and databases in the AWS environment. Approved 3rd party vendors conduct external assessments (minimum frequency: quarterly). Identified vulnerabilities are monitored and evaluated. Countermeasures are designed and implemented to neutralise known/newly identified vulnerabilities.

AWS Security monitors newsfeeds/vendor sites for patches and receives customer intelligence via http://aws.amazon.com/security/vulnerability-reporting/.

Security and Compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer, and the customer must perform some of the vulnerability management process. See https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/ for more details.

Protective monitoring approach
AWS deploys (pan-environmental) monitoring devices to collect information on unauthorised intrusion attempts, usage abuse, and network/application bandwidth-usage. Devices monitor:

• Port scanning attacks
• Usage (CPU, processes, disk utilisation, swap rates, software-error generated losses)
• Application metrics
• Unauthorised connection attempts

AWS security controls are reviewed by independent external auditors during audits for our SOC, PCI DSS and ISO 27001 compliance.

Security and Compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer. See https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-model/ for more details.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
AWS adopts a three-phased approach to manage incidents:

1. Activation and Notification Phase
2. Recovery Phase
3. Reconstitution Phase

To ensure the effectiveness of the AWS Incident Management plan, AWS conducts incident response testing, providing excellent coverage for the discovery of defects and failure modes as well as testing the systems for potential customer impact.

The Incident Response Test Plan is executed annually, in conjunction with the Incident Response plan. It includes multiple scenarios, potential vectors of attack, the inclusion of the systems integrator in reporting and coordination and varying reporting/detection avenues.

Fighting climate change

As a supplier primarily of professional IT services, CACI’s environmental impact is minimal. However, we are constantly looking at how we can operate more efficiently in our fight towards climate change. We are working towards a Net Zero Carbon business model through our delivery to our customers as promoting this to our supply chain.
This commitment is demonstrated by our achievement of ISO14001 accreditation, which we have held for nine years. To attain this standard, we ensure our Environment Management System (EMS) met the following requirements:
-Awareness of environmental impact through procedures and controls
-Acceptance of responsibility through environmental management systems
-Reducing harmful impacts via environmental policies
-Displaying community responsibility via staff training and awareness

We are fully committed to working towards a circular economy approach and where practically possible CACI select the most sustainable means to operate its facilities We remain aware of any and all opportunities to share, lease, reuse, repair, refurbish and recycle existing materials and products. That includes using recycled paper, enforcing double sided printing, and using Energy Star devices. Our recycling policy includes energy/water consumption, waste materials and paper use.
CACI has an agreed Carbon Reduction Plan (CRP) which is in implementation and is published on our website. This includes a set of carbon reduction targets up until 2040, with a baseline period set from July 2020 to June 2021.

Tackling economic inequality

CACI is dedicated to creating employment opportunities, working with local suppliers and hiring local people. We adjust our recruitment and training processes to focus on attributes rather than qualifications, which could exclude those from a disadvantaged background or deprived areas. Inclusivity and accessibility are encouraged via unconscious bias education and positive and inclusive designs, accessible capabilities, and inclusivity in gathering requirements for digital services. For example, we work closely with the National Autistic Society and Autism at Work to create an inclusive recruitment process, actively supporting neurodiverse candidates to flourish.
CACI works with a number of outreach organisations to develop and attract individuals from minority groups into the cyber security sector, including CyberFirst. A number of our employees volunteer as Ambassadors to this NCSC led government outreach programme. This is a reflection of our belief in the programme’s mission, to develop a sustainable and diverse talent pipeline into the cyber security industry. The majority of the programme’s focus is on students in UK schools, to improve issues with massive student dropout from IT education.

CACI has pledged to promote equality of opportunity within our supply chain, and work with a diverse range, including specialist Small and Medium Enterprise (SME)s. Our network is diverse and wide ranging in terms of skill set, age of business, make up of employees, geographical location, and therefore varying business cultures and diversity of individuals.
We are focussed on creating opportunities from the following groups who experience barriers to employment :
-Long term unemployed
-Armed forces veterans
-Mothers returning to work
-Care leavers

Equal opportunity

CACI’s Equal Opportunities policy formalises our approach to not discriminate against any employee on the basis of sex or sexual orientation, marital or civil partner status, gender reassignment, race, religion or belief, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, disability or age, pregnancy or maternity or other characteristics defined in anti-discrimination legislation (Protected Characteristics), or trade union membership or the fact that they are a part-time worker or a fixed-term employee. Our employees and applicants for employment with CACI are not disadvantaged by any policies or conditions of service which cannot be justified as necessary for operational purposes.
CACI is dedicated to ensuring our work environment, operational delivery and recruitment processes accommodate people with disabilities. Adjustments are made to ensure that those with disabilities are included and supported in our workplaces.
Our Workplace Adjustment Passport (WAP) enables employees to declare a disability, workplace adjustments are driven at company level.
CACI has signed up to the Disability Confident Scheme, formalising our commitment to play a lead role in changing attitudes for the better. We aim to successfully employ and retain disabled people and/or those with health conditions. When designing internal training or selecting an external partner, staff are consulted to capture any specialist needs to tailor sessions, including location, means of delivery and materials. This ensures all staff can develop in a comfortable and accessible environment .
CACI also works closely with the National Autistic Society to create an inclusive recruitment process, partnering with their Autism at Work programme; actively supporting neurodiverse candidates to flourish.
CACI have funded the creation of a number of staff networks, where employees with protected characteristics have time and resources to share ideas and support in a safe private environment. CACI have also offered specific training and talks from speakers related to these characteristics.
