- DXC follows a comprehensive information security program governed by the Enterprise Security Policies and Standards (ESPS), which are designed to meet or exceed industry standards such as ISACA, NIST, CIS, and ISO/IEC 27001. Policies and standards are established by the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and are reviewed at least annually or upon significant changes. The ESPS framework includes administrative, organizational, technical, and physical safeguards, and is supported by a dedicated Risk and Governance team responsible for policy development, approval, and maintenance. Compliance is ensured through regular audits, risk assessments, and a global internal audit function that reports to the DXC Audit Committee and the EVP, General Counsel. DXC enforces policy adherence through a combination of training, awareness programs, and technical controls such as role-based access control, multi-factor authentication, and continuous monitoring. The Security Incident Reporting and Management Standard outlines procedures for reporting, investigating, and managing security incidents. The Security Delivery Lead and Client Security Officer share responsibility for customer satisfaction regarding security, and improvement proposals are managed through formal change management processes. DXC's approach ensures that policies are consistently implemented, monitored, and updated to address evolving threats and regulatory requirements.

Approved changes actioned by the development team pass through peer, and security reviews, unit and functional testing, and system integration testing when released to a Development tier. Release ready changes are migrated to a Staging tier for review and user acceptance testing, and finally to a Production tier during a scheduled product release cycle.

Logs from applications, data, servers, infrastructure devices, middleware, and network components are collected centrally, correlated, and analyzed for abnormal activities and patterns. Incident Analytics Specialists conduct deep incident analysis, including forensic review at the raw event level, and author correlation rules, integrate threat intelligence, and review rules regularly.
