- What the ISO/IEC 27001 doesn’t cover
- Netcall's ISO 27001 is certified around the protection of the Confidentiality Integrity and Availability (CIA) of data assets for all platforms, products, services and suppliers relating to the processing of data. The governance also extends to the premises where the assets are hosted. The Statement of Applicability is a comprehensive scope that takes almost a week of onsite auditing by an external auditor working closely with the critical teams from Operations (including Info Sec) the business and other stakeholders such as the client , data centre managers etc. The Netcall process owners also include the facilities, legal and finance teams. Therefore ISO27001 will only exclude policies, controls and components that are not explicitly defined within the scope of the Statement of Applicability published for Netcall. The priority will always be to protect the CIA of the client data as per the Netcall solution and product design proposed to and contractually accepted by the client. So the actual likelihood of any risks remaining unmanaged/missed through the comprehensive scope of controls in the SOA is low.

Escalations are through our tracker system as part of the Risk Assessment/Vulnerability Management Process. These scans form evidence used to our InfoSec accreditations. The scanning vulnerabilities are prioritised within the reports, fed into the tracked Risk Assessment and resolution Process, reviewed by Netcall’s operations and relevant process/risk owner for resolution. Where necessary threat control and corrections/prevention tickets are raised and linked to the original vulnerability to audit the fix and risk.

Compromises are monitored, tracked, recorded in a number of ways: being raised by customer/production support calls, via the account managers, after changes, risk reviews, actual security incidents, picked up via IDS/IPS systems or event identification. The owner is the Information Security Manager working with the respective Process Owners and impacted stakeholders to resolve any compromises and apply preventative actions.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- Netcall uses native and licensed software to manage risks and is ISO 27001:2013 compliant for Incident Management.

Our commitment to the environment extends to our customers, our communities, our employees, our suppliers and other countries in which we operate. Our Carbon Reduction Plan is based upon the following principles: 1. Comply with, and exceed where practicable, all applicable legislation, regulations and codes of practice; 2. Integrate environmental and sustainability considerations into all our business decisions; 3. Endeavor to reduce our environmental impact year on year; 4. Ensure that all employees are fully aware of our Environmental and Sustainability Policy; 5. Ensure all employees are committed to implementing and improving our policy; 6. Ensure clients and suppliers are aware of our Environmental and Sustainability Policy, and encourage them to adopt sound sustainable management practices; 7. To review, annually report, and to continually strive to improve our environmental and sustainability performance. 2. Commitment • Cisilion are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and to achieving our goal of becoming net zero by 2050. • We will partner with Ecologi, a Carbon Avoidance organization. • We will plant 7,500 trees throughout Financial Year 2024 (“FY24”).Covid-19 recovery
Cisilion External Statement Cisilion are closely monitoring the developments both at home, and around the globe with respect to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition to our commitments to supporting our customers, Cisilion views as one of its highest priorities the health and wellbeing of its employees. Because of this, we have a clear business continuity plan and sickness procedure which the Company will continue to adopt in the pandemic situation, following the World Health Organisation (WHO) pandemic level definitions for triggering our response. In accordance with government guidelines issued on the 23 of March, and previously as the situation developed, we have initiated a program where our employees are able to continue to work from home in isolation. The measures that we have taken are designed to ensure that there is the minimum of disruption to services to our customers as well as minimising the risk to our staff at this difficult time. We ask our customers to understand that despite this, there is an increase in demand on parts of our services. We are prioritising the support of our customers with services which are vital to the efforts to contain the pandemic. This may mean that there could be some minor delays in responding to issues and project work, although we are working to keep this to a minimum. Due to the current situation with enforced social distancing, project and engineering work requiring site visits, is having to be risk assessed on a case by case basis. Our own infrastructure which is used to support our clients continues to operate as normal. As a flexible organisation, all internal systems are accessible to our employees from remote locations. We have facilities in place already to ensure all employees have the equipment needed, to work from alternative locations seamlessly.Tackling economic inequality
Learning and development plays a huge part in Cisilion’s culture. This includes our induction and awareness training, as well as creating platforms for unlearning and unconscious bias. Cisilion conduct all learning and development via LearnAmp, our online Learning Management System. As part of our induction process, we include Diversity and Inclusion Training, along with enhanced Grievance procedure outlines and Anti-Harassment training. Employees are then required to complete refresher training every 6 months. Diversity and inclusion play a key role in Cisilion’s core business objectives and values. Cisilion recognise that as a Company, more can be done to improve our diversity and inclusion practices and this will continue to be a working directive through the organisation, to support underrepresented groups. The recruitment teamwork within our People function at Cisilion and therefore liaise continuously to ensure proactive recruitment identifies a diverse set of candidates and supports those throughout the interview processes. While we understand that not all individuals feel comfortable in disclosing their identity, we continue to monitor and track our performance against self-created targets for LGBTQIA+, gender and ethnicity within the recruitment processes and within our workforce, where at all possible. Cisilion engage with current employees from underrepresented groups, who feel comfortable in doing so, to address any other areas of suggested improvement, and to include their voice in future initiatives.Equal opportunity
Invest in our economy to provide equal opportunities for employment, innovation and growth. Each month, a mixture of the HR, People and Recruitment team members alongside the Cisilion management team, will provide a mixture of 2 hour workshops and 1 hour long one to one sessions. The workshops will be run by our Recruitment team, covering topics such as interview best practice, CV formatting and job hunting tools available. Individuals will also be able to register for one to one advice with a member of our management team as a coaching session and more personal advice related to the unemployed persons experience so far. Cisilion have been running apprenticeship and graduate schemes for the past 5 years and partner with 3 specialist recruitment and training providers who are experts in finding work for and training unemployed young people. Cisilion are a Microsoft and Cisco gold partner, who are keen supporters of assisting young people into work. Cisilion often engage with Cisco and Microsoft for support with apprenticeship programmes and are familiar with other employment initiatives that we will be able to share with the unemployed people during the workshop sessions. Cisilion are also aware of and understand the current Quick Start government scheme of which we will be able to provide details and guidance to unemployed individualsWellbeing
Cisilion operate a robust health and wellbeing programme, partnering with Vitality Health and Medicash. On an annual basis, all 160 employees on our scheme conduct an Online Health Review, giving employees an understanding of specific areas of health that they need to improve upon, i.e. cholesterol, blood pressure, alcohol intake, physical activity levels and blood glucose level. If employees do not know the figures for these key areas, they can take a free health assessment to provide them with this data. Vitality Health offer their Member Zone to all members, giving access to videos, tips and our monthly Vitality calendar covering a range of topics from women’s health to mental health and nutrition
