- End-of-contract process
-
If at the end of the contract you wish to move to a new system we would work with you and your new supplier to define an exit strategy so that your organisation could continue to operate with minimal disruption over the transition period. There is no “one size fits all” approach as every organisation’s circumstances are different, but by working together we are confident that the handover can be achieved to your satisfaction.
We would be happy to work with any supplier to support migration to the new system, and can help with extracting data in a number of formats and providing advice and guidance as to the structure of the original data files. Once the migration has been confirmed we would decommission the old site. We would run through our final exit checklist to ensure all non-required data and access is removed from our systems before notifying the client of the same.

• Amazon CloudFront SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/cloudfront/sla/
• Amazon Route 53 SLA: http://aws.amazon.com/route53/sla/

Each vulnerability is scored using this system and a number is assigned between 0 and 25. Security release "windows" are the first and third Wednesday every month, PDT timezone. A release window does not necessarily mean that a release will actually be made however. The hosting platform (operating system, software, and applications) receives automated security patching for all software directly from the OS maintainers.
