Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
The Cadcorp Quality Management System in compliance with ISO 9001 fully describes the Cadcorp configuration and change management processes.

All components of the service are tracked through their lifetime. For example software components are part of a formal software release cycle and are tracked through their lifetime using version control. Similarly changes and configurations to a service implementation are tracked within the Cadcorp customer support database using a unique reference ID.

Changes are assessed for potential security impacts inline with Cadcorp ISO 27001 Security Manual and security forms part of the Cadcorp software quality assurance testing.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
The Cadcorp vulnerability management process requires anti virus software to be installed on all servers. This software provides the server administrator Status and Detection reports to allow Cadcorp to assess potential threats.

Patches will be deployed inline with the time periods described within the Cadcorp SLA.

Information about potential threats comes from a wide range of stakeholders including the antivirus Status and Detection reports.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
The anti virus software installed on all servers allows Cadcorp to identify potential compromises. This software provides the server administrator Status and Detection reports that detail potential compromises. In house and external penetration testing is also used to identify potential compromises.

When a potential compromise is identified it will be classified inline with the Cadcorp SLA response categories.

Depending on the category Cadcorp will use our reasonable endeavors to respond within 4 to 8 working hours.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
All incidents should be reported to the Cadcorp support desk. The customer will receive a report ID number to use for subsequent enquires. If the incident is related to a common event the support desk will invoke a pre-defined process. Incident reports can be provided on request.

Secure development

Approach to secure software development best practice
Independent review of processes (for example CESG CPA Build Standard, ISO/IEC 27034, ISO/IEC 27001 or CSA CCM v3.0)

Fighting climate change

Cadcorp has an Environmental Policy that aims to reduce the companies overall environmental impact and influence staff, suppliers and customers to support environmental protection and improvement. The policy aims to minimise the environmental impacts of current activities, products and services and reduce, wherever practicable, the level of greenhouse gas emissions. For example, in order to reduce energy consumption and air pollution Cadcorp seeks to reduce its dependence on road transport including journeys to work and business mileage. When business travel is required, Cadcorp has taken practical steps to minimise greenhouse gas emissions.

Covid-19 recovery

Cadcorp continues to offer a range of new employment opportunities for experienced candidates and recent graduates. Cadcorp supports staff, suppliers and customers manage and recover from the impacts of COVID-19, especially where new ways of working are needed to deliver services. Cadcorp continues to review workplace conditions to support the COVID-19 recovery effort, including effective social distancing, remote working, and sustainable travel solutions.

Tackling economic inequality

Cadcorp continues to offer a range of new employment opportunities for experienced candidates and recent graduates. New and existing employees are offered regular training opportunities to address skills gaps. Cadcorp maintains a diverse supply chain that includes new businesses and SME’s and adopts a fair and responsible approach to working with supply chain partners.

Equal opportunity

Cadcorp has an Equal Opportunities Policy to treat job applicants and employees in the same way, regardless of their sex, race, ethnic origin or disability. We believe as part of these principles that male and female staff, those from different racial groups and those with and without disability should receive equal pay for the same or broadly similar work, for work rated as equivalent and for work of equal value.

Wellbeing

Cadcorp recognises that health and safety, including physical and mental health has positive benefits to the organisation and that commitment to a high level of safety makes good business sense. We are committed to best practice in all matters relating to health and safety at work. We recognise our responsibilities towards employees and anyone else who may be affected by our activities. Our aim is to develop a culture whereby the achievement of health and safety objectives will be regarded as an integral part of the success of our business.
