Information security policies and processes
All staff are required to read and comply with our security policies. Staff are trained in line with our security practices. Our Chief Security Officer reports directly to Symantec's General Counsel. Our policies and processes include, but are not limited to, security, incident response, business continuity, secure software development and supply chain risk management. External versions of a number of our policies are available here: https://www.symantec.com/about/customer-trust-portal

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Any changes in production infrastructure have to be tested and certified in the Continuous Integration/ Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipeline. Changes are nominated, tested, certified, and promoted to production. Sprint cadence is currently every 3 weeks. Lastly, infrastructure changes are infrequent, ticketed, and done by updating templates rather than making manual changes
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Symantec has a formal process for handling and managing vulnerabilities. For any externally reported issues, Symantec follows the process outlined in ISO 29147, Information technology — Security techniques — Vulnerability disclosure ([ISO/IEC 29147:2014(E)]). Symantec's Software Security Group works with the impacted team(s) to: • Recreate the environment and issue within Symantec’s labs for an expedited resolution. • Facilitate a prompt and accurate response. • Avoid delays in new Symantec releases.

Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Symantec’s internal Security Incident Response Plan documents repeatable, industry standard procedures for handling actual cyber threats when they arise. It also provides the necessary engagement and information-sharing processes to allow prompt coordination among all relevant stakeholders, and describes the reporting, communication, containment, investigation, and recovery mechanisms that exist to support a comprehensive end-to-end process flow from threat detection through remediation. The development and implementation of this forward-looking plan supports Symantec’s ultimate mission to its customers, partners, shareholders, and employees as a trusted leader in information security risk management.
