All of the data processed and stored is encrypted at rest using various file or disk level encryption mechanisms. Data is encrypted using industry standard AES-256 encryption with keys managed through AWS’s Key Management Service (KMS). Where possible, Rapid7 utilizes AWS’s services to manage encryption at rest (e.g. S3, EBS, RDS, etc.). When not possible, Rapid7 utilizes block level encryption provided by LUKS.

Block level encryption is used for ElasticSearch (only used to index some asset metadata). For all other persistence technologies/layers, AWS KMS is used.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
During the term of Customer’s subscription, the Service will perform in accordance with and subject to the Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) documented at https://www.rapid7.com/legal/sla/. Rapid7’s target is 100% System Availability. If the System Availability during a given month is less than 99.95%, Customer may be eligible for a credit as detailed below (“Service Credit”), which is the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure to meet the SLA.
Approach to resilience
Rapid7 maintains a Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform. The primary goal of this plan is to ensure organizational stability, as well as coordinate recovery of critical business functions in managing and supporting business recovery in the event of disruption or disaster. Thus, the plan accomplishes the following:
Ensures critical functions can continue during and after a disaster with minimal interruption;
Identifies and decreases potential threats and exposures; and
Promotes awareness of critical interdependencies.
We can share a high-level overview of our Business Continuity Plan for the Insight platform upon request.

Security governance approach
The Information Security team is broken into the Governance and Operations functions. The Governance team's functions include GRC (governance, risk and compliance) activities and overall security program management. The Operations team's functions include vulnerability management, application security, security engineering, and various other operational roles and responsibilities. The Information Security team reports into the Products organization. We work with the Products team to build security into our platform, products and services. We engage external third party auditors to validate the security controls are operating effectively, building and maintaining customer trust and confidence.
Information security policies and processes
The Information Security and Information Technology groups are responsible for monitoring compliance with data security policies and procedures. Users found in violation of information security policies may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including 1) removal from any access to company or customer assets, data, or systems, 2) termination of employment, and/or 3) legal action. When required, Information Security will work with Legal and People Strategy to address any instance of non-compliance.

We use a SaaS product to manage and control relevant Information Security policies, which includes version control editors and full audit history. Rapid7 employment policies are documented in an internal employee handbook.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Rapid7 applies a systematic approach to managing change so that changes to services impacting Rapid7 and our customers are reviewed, tested, approved, and well communicated. Separate change management processes are in place for corporate IT systems and Insight platform systems to ensure changes are tailored to the specifics of each environment. The goal of Rapid7’s change management process is to prevent unintended service disruptions and to maintain the integrity of services provided to customers. All changes deployed to production undergo a review, testing, and approval process.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
The Information Security team is continuously monitoring the Rapid7 network and our product environments in accordance with formally documented vulnerability management processes and procedures. Information Security conducts vulnerability scans on a continuous basis, at least weekly. Rapid7 begins immediate action following the identification of critical vulnerabilities and generally completes the process in well under 48 hours.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We use InsightIDR to monitor for suspicious and malicious behavior across our user endpoints, networks, servers, and cloud services. Our InsightIDR configuration uses a combination of user behavior analytics, attacker behavior analytics in the form of curated threat intelligence, and custom alerts.

We only monitor systems that Rapid7 has implemented in our hosting environments and platform, not systems that customers deploy themselves within their environment.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
There is a formal Incident Management process in place and we can provide our Incident Response policy. Incidents are handled by the Information Security team and are escalated to Rapid7's in-house Incident Response team when necessary.

Rapid7 uses InsightIDR to monitor on-premises and cloud environments for security incidents. Information Security partners with the MDR and Incident Response services teams to supplement Rapid7’s incident response program. InsightIDR alerts are regularly reviewed by analysts and escalated via a paging system when indications of potentially malicious activity are detected.

Fighting climate change

Softcat are dedicated to reducing our environmental impact and actively promoting sustainability. Our commitment to sustainability is a core aspect of our business strategy, driving us to innovate and lead in the creation of a more sustainable future for our company and the communities we serve. This commitment is embedded in our policies, operating procedures, and training programs.

We are proud to be the first FTSE 250 company to be awarded 5-star status in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

We aim to achieve a Carbon Net-Zero Value Circle by 2040 by prioritising renewable energy, reducing natural resource use, minimising waste, and safeguarding biodiversity in compliance with environmental legislation.

At Softcat, we have taken significant steps towards securing renewable energy across our organisation, reducing our scope 1 & 2 emissions. We had the target of using 100% Renewable Energy across all our locations by 2024. We successfully delivered against this target ~2 years early.

In May 2023 we took delivery of 15 electric vehicles, replacing all existing fossil-fuelled company cars used by employees for business means. The implementation of the EV pool fleet will see a saving of over 80 tons of CO2e per year. A huge impact on our Net Zero targets.

Tackling economic inequality

As a value-add reseller, Softcat outsources the products, services, and solutions through our extensive network of partners, to best suit the needs of our broad client base. We always consider and promote SMEs and local providers where appropriate, particularly for the products and services we offer via the G Cloud framework.

We remain dedicated to improving employability and educational awareness across schools, colleges, and universities to help break down the barriers to joining technology organisations.

We work collaboratively with many schools that are close in proximity to our offices, to ensure we are actively supporting the community as well as schools from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

We visit the schools to talk about the IT sector and the roles in our organisation, as well as promoting work-experience opportunities during the summer. In particular, we actively encourage students from diverse backgrounds to engage in work experience to appreciate the roles available in our sector.

For ambitious school and college leavers, a Softcat Apprenticeship is a great first step into the world of work, with 94% of our apprentices offered a permanent position at Softcat post apprenticeships, which goes to show the amazing opportunity available with us.

We were ranked 1st in IT & Consultancy, and 10th overall in by RateMyApprenticeship.com - Best 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2023-2024 list.

Softcat now also offer 12 month paid internships to University students looking to complete a year in industry as part of their undergraduate studies.

Equal opportunity

Our approach to diversity and inclusion is introduced first during our induction training, as part of our Softcat values, outlining responsibility to uphold our principles. This message is reinforced by our process and policies, networks, Allyship Training and Inclusion Awareness campaigns.

Softcat supports diversity and inclusion through various networks including:
- Supporting Women in Business (SWIB)
- The Ethnic and Cultural Network
- The Pride Network
- The Family Network
- The Empowering Disability and Neurodiversity Network (EDN)
- The Faith at Work Network
- Armed Forces & Veterans Network
These networks aim to create a supportive and inclusive work environment for all employees, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, or family commitments.

Our allyship programme, Stronger Together, is a mixture of event and workshop-based training available to all staff. Programme topics include, bias, power, privilege, and being a greater ally.

Inclusion Awareness campaigns include race, disability, sexual orientation, gender, faith, and caring responsibilities. These sessions highlight and celebrate minority groups, through panel sessions, Q&A sessions and training, providing an opportunity to discuss and understand ways to be more inclusive.

Our efforts to improve diversity and inclusion have been incredibly successful. Since 2020, the number of female employees below management level has increased to 35%, and the number of ethnic minority employees rose to 17%.

Wellbeing

At Softcat, all employees are provided with access to our multidimensional wellbeing programme which includes flexible work arrangements, free nutritious breakfast, mental health support, employee benefits scheme, health and wellbeing week activities, and online workshops.

Giving back to the community is an innate part of who we are as a company. All Softcat employees are therefore given two volunteer days per year to support a charitable or community cause.

Each of our 10 regional offices also support local charities through fundraising, donations and events. For example, our Manchester office has raised over £30,000 for the WeLoveMCR charity. This funding has supported young, disadvantaged Manchester citizens in gaining qualifications to broaden their work opportunities and supporting local groups in delivering indispensable services that enable community cohesion.
