Initially, we will set up a call to discuss the implementation of your service, what will take place, and any pre-requisites that need to be met. This will also provide end-users with the opportunity to speak to one of our fully qualified engineers who will discuss all aspects of the of the service and answer any questions that they may have. A set of project and technical documentation is then created, based upon the discussion. It is then circulated with the customer for their feedback and signature. From this point there is an agreed change control process for anything necessary which is under the control of both KHIPU and the customer.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: All changes to the configuration of the service are managed through an ITIL based Change Control Process.

This takes into account any commercial considerations necessary and provides an audit trail, ensuring that all aspects of the change are considered.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: We work closely with the manufacturers of the deployed services to ensure that any reported/disclosed vulnerabilities are patched during the next maintenance window. Should a major flaw occur, an emergency change process would be invoked to patch the service within 48 hours. In the event that multiple vulnerabilities become apparent, they will be addressed in severity order (highest first), until all are mitigated.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Potential compromises are detected via various means including monitoring tools, manual check, service degradation, reported issues and regular vulnerability assessments. In the event of a suspected compromise, they are acted upon with high priority until they are proven to be benign or corrective action is needed to be taken to mitigate the problem. Immediate responses are provided if an issue appears to be critical within the end users’ environment. These procedures are in line with our ISO27001 processes.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: As part of our support/managed service procedure, the customer is provided with full details of how to log a support call, including all logging methods and the required information for the servicedesk. Once the call has been logged, it is then managed by the team under the servicedesk based on severity (major issue = service affecting, minor issue = query). All service affecting calls are escalated accordingly to the 2nd/3rd line teams including the assigned account and technical manager. Escalations procedures are provided as part of the onboarding process.

  Fighting climate change

  KHIPU is committed to monitoring and reducing our environmental footprint. We are an ISO14001 Environmental Management certified company and complete an internal audit annually which provide updated targets for our company and supply chain to aim for. ; ; We update our initiatives on our website: https://www.khipu-networks.com/khipu-is-green/.; ; • Employees and our supply chain are made aware / reminded of their environmental impact.; • We regularly review our products, services, and suppliers to ensure we are using the most suitable environmentally friendly options.; ; KHIPU and our supply chains are committed to minimising impact to the environment from our solutions by reusing, recycling, and adopting processes that conserve raw material, energy, and water.; ; The company is part of a movement called “techies go green” (https://www.techiesgogreen.com), aimed at increasing awareness and we are committed to decarbonising our businesses and making them green and verifiably sustainable. ; ; Where possible, we work with customers remotely to reduce travel costs and for each day an engineer installs / supports a customer remotely we plant 10 trees. Tracking of our progress is available here: (https://moretrees.eco/forest/khipu/).

  Covid-19 recovery

  Our plans and processes provide mitigation against a wide range of potential incidents including the unforeseen events mentioned.; ; The procedures have been regularly tested both theoretically and in real events. In 2017 we activated the plans as part of an office relocation, we had no loss of services or unexpected downtime.; ; On the 9th March 2020, we activated our Pandemic Policy which was created during the original SARS threat. This was activated across our UK and South Africa offices in advance of the UK and SA Government lockdown. We successfully had 98% of staff working from home, 2% of staff worked in our UK office. ; ; The business managed to offer and operate the majority of our services remotely. We continued to provide on-site resources to customers running critical life supporting systems (i.e. Healthcare / Social Services). ; ; Since the removal of lockdown restrictions, we have moved to a hybrid operation where staff aim for a minimum of 3 days in the office, 2 working remotely. KHIPU invested in a new HQ building during 2021-2022 and modelled our offices to support the most flexible ways of working.

  Tackling economic inequality

  As a business we understand that we can make a difference in tackling economic inequality, with KHIPU being fortunate to operate in the Technical Business Sector which is a robust market. This allows the company to invest into our workforce, both in terms of relatively high salaries and also support services (pension contributions, healthcare, dental care, welfare support, regular health checks, training, team building, career options).; ; We offer flexitime to the workforce, offer hybrid working, provide a very good maternity / paternity scheme, invest in apprentices, and also graduates and have workforce age from ~19 – 70 years of age. Over 40% of our senior staff identify as female and we support all of our staff in any way we can. ; ; Outside of our business, KHIPU invests into charitable causes, we have invested in building a computer laboratory in a township school in South Africa. We invest in youth sports and various health related charities.

  Equal opportunity

  KHIPU has a strong ethos on diversity and inclusion with our main objective being that our company and staff understands and promotes equality, diversity, and inclusivity internally and externally with suppliers and customers. ; ; We have not set any specific target; however, we have found that our organisation has organically grown in a manner fully supportive of our main objective for equality, diversity, and inclusivity. ; ; This organically grown culture exists across our UK and South Africa based offices, we also ask our supply chain to confirm their commitment to supporting our own objective in this manner.

  Wellbeing

  KHIPU has a very active “People Operations” department with representatives across our main offices in the UK and South Africa. They provide a wide range of help and support to all staff, including their families as appropriate. Our team have trained first aiders and also have received mental health awareness training. All staff have access to our internal support team and can also be referred to 3rd party experts (via our company-wide healthcare scheme). The company invests in an annual health check (optional but recommended for all staff) by a 3rd party company, this also offers advice on mental health, fitness, diet etc. ; ; The company has invested in excellent office facilities, both in terms of general office location and facilities within our offices. This allows staff multiple options for stress reduction, teamwork or relaxation as required. We suggest that all staff walk around and do not sit too long at their desks, offer stand-up desk workstations and we try to cater for any staff members working preferences.
