No
Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
Clients can specify quick links to particular geographical locations.

We are able to undertake consultancy work to add new types of routing beyond the standard types available.

Scaling

Independence of resources
The underlying API service is spread over multiple hosts. Where usage is non-trivial, customers are put on a specific load-balanced endpoint, isolating them from other customers.

Analytics

Service usage metrics
Yes
Metrics types
Number of routes planned, over various time periods. These are accessed as real-time charts via the API key control panel.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Standard SLA contract has 99.5% uptime.

In practice we have consistently achieved above 99.9%.

In the event of not meeting the uptime requirement, customers have the option to be refunded for time lost, at a twice pro-rata rate.
Approach to resilience
Users sign up to an SLA which ensures we are contractually obliged to meet service standards.

Redundancy is present, so in the event of a serious outage, we are able to switch to another endpoint in a different data centre.

Multiple data centres are used geographically.

Uptime monitoring by an external service, and internal API format monitoring, are both in place.
Outage reporting
There is no public dashboard.

Internal SMS alerting is in place.

Security governance approach
Security is run by a Director (a direct employee) who is also an engineer involved in running the service. No aspect of security governance is outsourced.
Information security policies and processes
Machines are patched regularly by the hosting provider.

Those involved in installation and deployment of services are in-house staff and are trained in security patching and resilient coding practices.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Both code and configuration are each (separately) committed to Git repositories.

Deployment is done on a continual rather than big-bang basis.

Code is reviewed regularly by other employees.

Code uses libraries developed over many years which have withstood the test of time.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Patch availability for machine-level software is notified regularly by the hosting company. Patches of a high urgency nature are usually applied by the host very shortly after, although this sometimes expedited by our in-house employees.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
DoS attacks are dealt with by the hosting company.

Application-level error logging is enabled.

Server performance logging for multiple attributes is checked regularly.

SMS alerting is set to detect slow responses, which tend to be an indication of potential problems.

Potential compromises are assessed for severity. In the case of the underlying routing API, the threat potential is low as no personal data is involved.

Incidents are dealt with as top priority, displacing other work.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Users can report incidents via e-mail or our feedback system.

In the event of a significant downtime incident, the initial response is to reconfigure the endpoints to avoid loss of service. Users would be notified by e-mail beyond this.

No personal data is being processed by the underlying API from which the site retrieves routing results. The site itself has no user login or database storage.
