The Bi-annual releases are included in the SaaS license subscription but individual customers can also request bespoke development. Customer funded bespoke modules are held in individual micro-services only executed for that customer; these enhancements are developed with the customer using the agile methodology.

Scaling

• Independence of resources: Performance on all customer systems is monitored with real-time dashboard displaying utilisation of processor, memory and disk. Automatic alerting provides timely warning or the need to augment resources and new virtualised resources can be implemented before any impact occurs. Network analysis tools display all internal traffic within applications so any constraints building on any system node are anticipated and managed. ; ; Customers with particularly sensitive data may opt to operate on dedicated virtual cloud infrastructure for security reasons; regardless of whether running on dedicated or shared infrastructure resources are maintained well above thresholds and monitored to ensure better than SLA performance.

Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: NEC Hearings Manager SLA is 99.9% availability during core hours (08:00hrs to 18:00hrs weekdays) except public holidays) and 99% outside core hours with the exception of agreed maintenance windows. Maintenance windows for application enhancements and system patching and security updates are agreed with the User Group (currently Wednesday night after 22:00hrs and Saturday night from 18:00hrs to Sunday at 12:00 midday). Individual customers on dedicated cloud infrastructure can agree to different maintenance windows to suit their operations.
• Approach to resilience: NEC Hearings Manager is designed for resilience. Defence-in-depth architecture requires single purpose servers so for security purposes web-front-end-servers are separated from applications servers, database servers and authentication servers with firewall controls on access between. Each function has redundant servers so for example if one web-front-end server should fail user access automatically fails over to another working server. Monitoring ensures that any outage is immediately recognised and dealt with quickly so single component failures are short and do not impact the service. We also provide a range of cost-effective site disaster recovery scenarios to cover the unlikely event of a full site disaster. More detailed resilience design information is available to customers on request. In addition to the standard high-resilience offering, there are a number of individually tailored, cost-effective options available.
• Outage reporting: The NEC Service Desk maintains a list of key stakeholders for each Hearings Manager customer. In the unlikely event of an unplanned outage, emails are sent to those stakeholders notifying them of the outage. Periodically, they are given updates as to Incident Management progress, estimated time of resumption and eventually, root-cause analysis. Additionally, the URL is redirected to a screen informing users of the outage and offering an anticipated recovery time. Planned maintenance outages are agreed with the User Group or with individual customers (running on dedicated cloud infrastructure) and posted in advance on the logon splash screen.

NEC are members of the Cyber Network Reporting Service (CNR) that helps the NCSC to rapidly notify organisations that might be affected by malicious software.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: NEC implements a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system which provides alerts and reports that enable log sources to be processed in accordance with GPG13. Custom rules can be defined to detect and alert on suspicious behaviour. The InfoSec team reviews the SIEM alerts and reports on a daily basis to check for any anomalous behaviour. The NEC security monitoring policies and practices are aligned with incident management policies and practices. Any significant security issues identified will result in the NEC InfoSec team raising a security incident in the NEC service management system to initiate the detailed analysis process.
• 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: Incident Management is part of our ISO27001:2022 certified Information Security Management system (ISMS). All incidents are handled within the same process. Users report incidents through the Service Desk, and a Security Incident is then raised on the ISMS. This is reviewed by the Security Team and is managed in accordance with the Security Incident Management Process. The security incident is kept updated, and once the Security Incident is closed a full report is produced which is used to identify any lessons learnt.
