- Simoda’s SaaS services are delivered via secure, cloud-based platforms and require reliable internet connectivity for optimal performance. Service availability depends on third-party hosting infrastructure, which meets industry standards for uptime and resilience. Customers must ensure compatible browsers and devices for access. While highly configurable, custom integrations may require additional scoping and lead time. Data residency and compliance align with UK GDPR; however, customers are responsible for their internal governance policies. Planned maintenance windows will be communicated in advance, and emergency updates may occur to maintain security and service integrity. No physical infrastructure is provided.

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Simoda’s onboarding process for Network Services clients is designed to ensure a smooth transition and full understanding of the solutions provided, including Wi-Fi, door access, CCTV, and video systems. Once installation is complete, Simoda conducts a comprehensive handover and training session to familiarise your team with system functionality and best practices. This training covers essential operational tasks, security considerations, and troubleshooting guidance to help you manage the services confidently.
In addition to Simoda’s training, all manufacturers and service providers offer online training resources, giving your team the flexibility to learn at their own pace and revisit materials when needed. For organisations that prefer a more hands-on approach, Simoda can provide onsite training sessions upon request. These sessions are tailored to your environment and workflows, ensuring practical, real-world application. Please note that onsite training is available at an additional cost.
This structured onboarding approach combines expert-led guidance with self-service learning options, helping your organisation maximise the value of its network services from day one. Whether you choose online resources or in-person support, Simoda ensures your team is equipped to operate and maintain systems effectively. - Service documentation

Scaling
- Independence of resources
- One of the key benefits of cloud-based architecture is elasticity. Resources can be scaled up or down automatically based on demand, ensuring consistent performance even during peak usage. For Simoda’s Network Services—covering Wi-Fi, door access, CCTV, and video—this means bandwidth, processing power, and storage are dynamically allocated to prevent congestion. Users are not impacted by others’ activity because the system continuously monitors load and adjusts capacity in real time. This approach guarantees reliability, security, and smooth operation across all services, regardless of fluctuating demand.

- Configuration and change management approach
- The service uses defined configuration and change management processes to control how service components are introduced, modified and retired throughout their lifecycle. Changes to the service are managed through a formal change process. Proposed changes are assessed for operational and security impact prior to implementation. Changes that may impact security are reviewed by appropriate technical and security stakeholders. Standard changes are implemented using approved procedures, while higher-risk changes follow enhanced review and approval processes. Emergency changes are controlled and reviewed retrospectively. Changes are tested prior to deployment and implemented using controlled release processes. Where relevant, customers are informed in advance
- Vulnerability management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- The service follows a defined vulnerability management process to identify, assess and remediate security vulnerabilities. Potential threats are assessed through a combination of automated vulnerability scanning, monitoring of system configurations, and review of changes to the service. Identified vulnerabilities are assessed for risk based on severity, exploitability and potential impact. Critical and high-risk vulnerabilities are prioritised and patched as soon as practicable, with lower-risk updates applied through scheduled maintenance windows. Information about potential threats is obtained from multiple sources, including cloud platform security advisories, software vendor notifications, vulnerability databases and recognised security organisations.
- Protective monitoring type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- The service uses protective monitoring controls to detect, investigate and respond to potential security incidents. Potential compromises are identified through continuous monitoring of system activity, including authentication events, access patterns, configuration changes and platform logs. Automated alerts are used to highlight anomalous or suspicious behaviour for further investigation. Potential compromises are identified, assessed and handled through a defined incident response process. This includes triage, containment, investigation and remediation activities, with escalation to appropriate technical personnel. Critical security incidents are investigated promptly, with initial response initiated as soon as practicable following detection. Lower-severity incidents are managed through standard incident management processes
- Incident management type
- Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
- The service operates defined incident management processes to detect, record, manage and resolve service incidents. Pre-defined procedures are in place for common incident types, including service availability issues, security events and performance degradation. These procedures support consistent triage, prioritisation and resolution. Users can report incidents through support channels, including a service desk and agreed contact methods. Incidents are logged, tracked and prioritised based on severity. Incident updates are provided to users during resolution. Following significant incidents, incident reports can be made available, outlining the nature of the incident, actions taken and any preventative measures identified, in line with contractual agreements.
