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
Developers are trained on OWASP top security risks and new code is reviewed by at least one experienced engineer, in addition to self-review by the writing engineer.

We also scan third-party libraries against known vulnerabilities, using Github dependant.

Libraries are then upgraded or mitigated when vulnerabilities are found.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
For application vulnerabilities:
- Github’s vulnerability database service creates security alerts on each code repository containing a vulnerable dependency; and
- A scan of all container images deployed on Laiye’s Kubernetes clusters is performed weekly using Trivy. An email report is sent to Laiye’s technical team.

For global, high-level vulnerability and threat intelligence:
- The Laiye technical team subscribes to security bulletins.

Security fix deployment timelines
For critical security issues an emergency fix will be deployed within two business days.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402

For critical security issues an emergency fix will aim to be deployed within two business days.
