Information security policies and processes
Accipio takes measures to protect from loss or corruption, unauthorized access and modification. We follow the eight principles of the Data Protection Act 1998, and the broad outline of ISO 17799 guidelines for information security.

All staff will report any suspected security breaches to a Director who will log in the security breech log. A Director will maintain,
monitor and report on any security incidents which may result in further investigation and action if required.

Accipio maintains a register of all employees who are allowed access to all parts of the system containing electronic data. All staff must agree to written terms and conditions covering use of IT when they are employed at the company.

Our Information Security policy is available on request.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Our cloud hosting is provided by AWS - a leading cloud hosting provider trusted by the largest brands in the world. They manage the cloud infrastructure. We run two EC2 instances for each client - one for the live site, and one for a development and testing. Changes made to the development site are tracked, and once tested, rolled out to the live site. We use Github for code management and versioning. Totara/Moodle releases updates which we deploy. These are tracked and managed by Totara/Moodle.
Vulnerability management type
Undisclosed
Vulnerability management approach
We perform vulnerability assessments on a monthly basis. We also follow the latest Totara/Moodle security alerts, and notifications from AWS. We run scans and keep current with the latest insights from the industry. Our configured alarms and penetration testing help to threats. We have a vulnerability triage group which meets once a vulnerability assessment has been performed. We assess the severity and likelihood of the threat, and use a Common Vulnerability Scoring System. New vulnerabilities reported by Totara/Moodle normally result in a patch being generated rapidly. We would install this within one day in most cases.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We have measures in place to detect attacks and unauthorised activity on the service. We have configured various alarms and audit logs to identify suspicious activity. We have high levels of security for access. Events are analysed to identify potential compromises or inappropriate use of our service. If we find a potential compromise, we take swift and appropriate action (normally within hours).
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
We have an incident management process which is deployed in response to security incidents. The response depends on the type of incident or attack. We report all incidents to the Director in charge, and where appropriate, the client as soon as practicable. This is normally in the form of electronic incident reports sent via email. A follow up phone call is normally made as well for clients.
