Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: MTI checks for security vulnerabilities through source code reviews, web application testing, network security management, input validation checks, Nessus scans, and penetration testing. We use a combination of automated tools and manual analysis to identify potential threats such as SQL injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and authentication flaws. We also examine the code for inadequate input validation, insecure dependencies, and sensitive data exposure. MTI's testing methodologies are based on industry standards such as the OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities. We use various tools and techniques to thoroughly test all areas of the application and ensure that systems are updated the latest patches.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: MTI has an integrated SIEM platform that we use to assess potential threats to the service. Patches are deployed monthly unless their CVSS score indicates a high risk in which case an accelerated implementation (subject to change control) occurs. The threat intelligence data comes from various sources, including open-source data feeds and tools such as the Open Threat Exchange (OTX) and VirusTotal, threat intelligence communities like NCSC's Cyber Security Information Sharing Partnership (CISP), commercial intelligence providers, internal MTI intelligence based on incidents detected and investigated across MTI's customer base, and additional commercial threat intelligence feeds.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: MTI identifies potential compromises through various methods, including conducting domain compromise assessments, performing vulnerability management processes, and leveraging threat intelligence feeds. If a potential compromise is discovered, we follow specific scopes of testing and provide remediation advice based on leading industry practices. Additionally, MTI collaborates with industry experts and continuously monitors and learns from incident response experience and emerging threats. MTI SIEM service automatically monitors our systems and locks down user accounts if any unusual activity occurs. If this happens then it triggers activity to further evaluate any potential incident.
• Incident management type: Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
• Incident management approach: MTI follows the ITIL framework for incident management. We have an incident management process in place to ensure that all incidents are managed consistently. The process includes investigating incidents with skilled resources and resolving them to the satisfaction of the user. The incident management team assists with escalations, correct assignment of incidents, acceptance into resolver queues, managing SLAs, resolving high priority incidents, managing failed SLAs, and assisting the service desk with incident updates and incident reports. MTI has a major incident management process for incidents that meet specific criteria, such as the loss of a business-critical system.
