User support accessibility
None or don’t know
Description of service interface
ServiceDesk Plus is a browser-based service management platform that is intuitive to use for both technicians and end users. Administrators can define and assign custom roles to users, ensuring that only relevant information is accessible. A unified, enterprise portal serves as a gateway for end users to request services, access self-service knowledge articles, and track their tickets/requests.

Technicians can access different ITSM practices through dedicated tabs. These include incidents, problems, changes, service requests, IT assets, and project management.

Both end-users and technicians can access ServiceDesk Plus through native mobile apps and Microsoft apps such as Teams and Outlook(integrations).
Accessibility standards
None or don’t know
Description of accessibility
ServiceDesk Plus supports standard keyboard navigation, input functions, and tab navigation in certain forms. However, keyboard navigation is not supported on components with drag-and-drop, global search functionalities.

The solution offers a logical tab order through interactive elements such as links and forms control. It also uses semantically correct markup for all interface elements, including headings and labels, and for the visual presentation of content on the page. The application provides labels and instructions wherever user input is required.

The ServiceDesk Plus application does not support pointer gestures as of now.
Accessibility testing
ManageEngine is working to reach WACG accessibility standards for ServiceDesk Plus. We are yet to perform any interface testing with users of assistive technology.
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
The ServiceDesk Plus API allows customers to perform all operations that they do with the web client. This API is built using REST principles, which ensures predictable URLs that make writing applications easy. The rate of API calls is limited to 100 per minute by default.

To consume ServiceDesk Plus APIs, you must satisfy these prerequisites:

1. A valid ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus login (username and password) is required.

2. An access token needs to be generated.
(Before generating an access token, you need to know about the data centre in which your data resides and from which server you are served from.)

3. There are eight different domains for ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus APIs, and you will have to use the one that is applicable to you.

4. The different types of API request methods include POST, GET, PUT, and DELETE.

5. If you have multiple portals in your organisation, the portal URL name should be mentioned in every API request to identify the portal: (/app/<portal>/api/v3/requests)

The ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus API uses the OAuth2.0 protocol for authentication. It uses the Authorisation Code Grant Type to obtain the Authorisation Code/Grant Token (Code).

Scaling

Independence of resources
ServiceDesk Plus is hosted in ManageEngine-owned data centres around the globe that are optimised for high availability within a multi-tenant architecture. We adopt proactive horizontal scaling and add additional resources whenever there is consistent load/resource usage of 70%-80%. This approach helps ensure the seamless availability of ServiceDesk Plus for users.

To cater to organisations that require data isolation for compliance purposes, we also offer exclusive database plans. For more information, visit (https://www.manageengine.com/products/service-desk/cloud/service-desk-database-plans.html).

Other protection within supplier network
We use firewalls to prevent our network from unauthorised access and undesirable traffic. Our systems are segmented into separate networks to protect sensitive data. Systems supporting testing and development activities are hosted separately from the network from supporting ManageEngine's production infrastructure.

Sensitive customer data at rest is encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). Data that is encrypted at rest varies with the services you opt for. We provide additional layers of security by encrypting the data encryption keys using master keys. The master keys and data encryption keys are physically separated and stored in different servers with limited access.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Our average monthly service uptime is 99.9%. The live service availability status can be seen at https://status.manageengine.uk/#/. Upon customer request, ManageEngine will, as per the terms and conditions of its service level agreement (SLA), provide service credits. A copy of the SLA can be shared upon request.
Approach to resilience
ServiceDesk Plus is hosted in ManageEngine-owned data centres around the globe, with adequate business continuity and disaster recovery processes in place. Redundancy mechanisms in place eliminate any single point of failure through multiple circuits, switches, networks, and other necessary devices.

Application data is stored in resilient storage that is replicated across data centres (DCs). Data in the primary DC is replicated in the secondary in near real-time. In case of failure of the primary DC, the secondary DC takes over and operations are continued smoothly with minimal or no loss of time. Both the centres are equipped with multiple ISPs.

We have power backup, temperature control systems, and fire-prevention systems as physical measures to ensure business continuity. These measures help us achieve resilience. In addition to the redundancy of data, we have a business continuity plan for our major operations, such as support and infrastructure management.
Outage reporting
We have a dedicated incident management team. We notify users of incidents in our environment that apply to them, along with suitable actions that they may need to take. We track and close the incidents with appropriate corrective actions. Whenever applicable, we will identify, collect, acquire, and provide customers with necessary evidence the form of application and audit logs regarding incidents that apply. Furthermore, we implement controls to prevent recurrence of similar situations.

We respond to the security or privacy incidents reported to us through incidents@zohocorp.com with high priority. For general incidents, we will notify users through our blogs, forums, and social media. For incidents specific to an individual user or an organisation, we will notify the concerned party through email (using their primary email address of the organisation administrator registered with us). Service availability, uptime levels, or any ongoing outages can be viewed on the public dashboard found at status.manageengine.uk or status.manageengine.com or status.manageengine.eu depending on your hosting location.

Information security policies and processes
We have a dedicated Compliance team and they conduct internal risk assessments to confirm if the policies are followed. ManageEngine has an established governance framework that supports relevant aspects of information security with policies and standards. Roles and responsibilities for the governance of Information Security within ManageEngine are formally documented and communicated by the management. ManageEngine shall establish, implement, and maintain an information security program in accordance with the international standard ISO 27001 that includes technical and organisational security and physical measures as well as policies and procedures to protect customer data processed by ManageEngine against accidental loss, destruction, or alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access,or unlawful destruction. ManageEngine maintains documented information security and data privacy policies and requirements and communicates them periodically to those employees responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of security and privacy controls.The policies are reviewed annually to keep them up-to-date. This policy gets verified during our third-party audits like ISO and SOC.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
We have the Change Management procedures in place that include the following but are not limited to all the changes to the organisation, applications, systems, people, technology, and processes, information processing facilities that affect information security/privacy. For every change the security impact is analysed. We maintain Audit logs as evidence of all the changes. Fall-back procedures, including procedures and responsibilities for aborting and recovering from unsuccessful changes and unforeseen events, are documented and communicated. ManageEngine shall notify the customer of any changes that may affect the customer in an adverse manner.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Our dedicated vulnerability management process actively scans for security threats using a combination of certified third-party scanning tools and in-house tools, and with automated and manual penetration testing efforts. Our security team actively reviews inbound security reports and monitors public mailing lists, blog posts, and wikis to spot security incidents that might affect the company’s infrastructure.

Once we identify a vulnerability requiring remediation, it is logged, prioritised according to the severity, and assigned to an owner. We identify the associated risks and track the vulnerability until it is closed by either patching the vulnerable systems or applying relevant controls.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
We monitor and analyse information gathered from services, internal traffic in our network, and usage of devices and terminals. We record this information in the form of event logs, audit logs, fault logs, administrator logs, and operator logs. These logs are automatically monitored and analysed to a reasonable extent which helps us identify anomalies such as unusual activity in employees’ accounts or attempts to access customer data. We store these logs in a secure server isolated from full system access, to manage access control centrally and ensure availability.
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
We have a dedicated incident management team. We notify you of the incidents in our environment that apply to you, along with suitable actions that you may need to take. We track and close the incidents with appropriate corrective actions. Whenever applicable, we will identify, collect, acquire, and provide you with necessary evidence in the form of application and audit logs regarding incidents that apply to you. Furthermore, we implement controls to prevent the recurrence of similar situations.

Fighting climate change

We've partnered with Equinix to host our UK data centres in London and Manchester. Equinix is also committed to sustainability and is compliant with the Climate Neutral Data Centre Pact, ISO 14001, LEED, etc. The energy supply for the Zoho UK’s workspace at Bletchley is derived from renewable sources, accounting for 21% of total power consumption. LED retrofits have been implemented to enhance energy efficiency throughout the building. Designed with a focus on energy efficiency, data centres that support Zoho UK are powered by renewable energy. Further, these data centres are progressing towards integrating with a solar grid to reduce environmental impacts. All purchased energy for the data centres is sourced from green energy providers. This enables us to minimise the carbon footprint associated with our operations. The United Kingdom has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Supporting this pledge, we have taken steps to monitor greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our operations and implement measures to mitigate them. We account for Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions and exclude Scope 1 emissions as our work does not involve fuel combustion within operational boundaries. We've switched completely to electric vehicles for movement within the campus.

Covid-19 recovery

During the COVD-19 pandemic, Zoho worked to minimise the impact of COVID on our customers, other business and our local community. At the start of the pandemic, Zoho created and distributed a Secure Remote Access Toolkit to help organisations quickly adapt to and work securely during the pandemic. This toolkit was made free for the first 100 days. To assist organisations impacted by the pandemic, Zoho offered free licenses of flagship products, and offered discounts and waivers on licenses on a case-by-case basis. While most of our employees worked from home, we kept the kitchen at our Chennai headquarters running with a skeletal staff to provide food to underprivileged people in the local area, many of whom were impacted due to a loss of employment during the lockdown. We converted one of our office buildings into a temporary COVID-19 ward to accommodate citizens who were required to quarantine. We ran vaccination camps to our employees, their dependents and the support staff who worked in Zoho.

Tackling economic inequality

Zoho has always aimed to tackle economic inequality and give back to the community. This is reflected in the following: Coined by our CEO, transnational localism is the philosophy that underpins our staffing and office location plans. Instead of focusing on crowded urban centres, we've been opening spoke offices in smaller towns and villages. The goal is to improve local infrastructure, boost the economy of these smaller towns and villages, and provide more employment opportunity. As part of our philosophy of transnational localism, we believe in hiring locally for each spoke office. This helps promote local talent and bring high-paying jobs back to the villages and towns where we are based.

Equal opportunity

As part of our efforts to tackle inequality, Zoho Corporation Limited have made efforts to provide equal opportunities and tackle workforce inequality. All roles at Zoho Corporation are open to all people irrespective of gender, sex, race, ability, or religion. We hire solely based on skill and have a diverse team. We eschew discrimination on any grounds, including age, colour, disability, ethnicity, family or marital status, gender identity or expression, language, national origin, physical and mental ability, political affiliation, race, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and other unique characteristics that define our associates. Instead, we espouse, fairness, striving to ensure that a merit-based approach allows wage parity among associates with comparable experiences and responsibilities, irrespective of their gender. Our campus has been designed to be accessible to all, including differently- abled colleagues. The layout design includes ramps and lifts in every building, allowing ease of mobility and access to all. Apart from the usual shuttle facilities, special cab service covering a certain distance is given for women during their third trimester.

Wellbeing

Zoho Corporation Limited adheres to industry standards in remuneration, ensuring that compensation is equitable across genders. Recognising the diverse needs of our people, we provide essential support such as parental leave, aligning with our efforts to build an organisation that values and cares for every individual. We have trained medical practitioners and a dedicated medical clinic available on all days of the week. Employees can freely avail their services. The Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA) Framework is followed rigorously at the premises. We provide in-house counselling to our employees for free via our team of trained and qualified therapists. We organise free medical check-ups for our employees on an annual basis. We organise regular blood donation camps in association with various blood banks. We have open house sessions conducted by the CEO periodically where employees can raise any concerns. Day Care facilities provided for employees kids. The compliance monitoring framework involves ongoing reviews and enhancements of occupational health programmes, guided by feedback, data analysis, and emerging best practices.
