Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability

99.9% uptime availability as per EULA
Privilege Manager Cloud utilizes Azure SQL Databases, which are based on SQL Server Database Engine architecture adapted for the cloud environment in order to provide 99.9% availability. - Approach to resilience
-
Privilege Manager Cloud utilizes Azure SQL Databases, which are based on SQL Server Database Engine architecture adapted for the cloud environment in order to provide 99.9% availability. The architectural model is based on a separation of compute and storage and model relies on high availability and reliability of Azure Premium Storage that transparently replicates database files and guarantees no data loss if underlying infrastructure failure happens. Premium storage utilizes locally redundant SSD storage for replication. Locally redundant storage keeps three copies of the data within a single region. For regional disaster recovery, full database backups are performed weekly, differential database backups are performed approximately every 12 hours, and transaction log backups are performed every 5-10 minutes to protect the customer's business from data loss. The backups are stored in geo-redundant storage for 35 days.
Privilege Manager Cloud uses Failover Groups with geo-replication which asynchronously replicates data from the primary region to a paired secondary region located in an alternate Azure region. The asynchronous replication results in a 5-second RPO in the event of failover. A critical component for many customers is auditing. Because of the data loss during a failover event, failovers are not performed immediately. - Outage reporting

- Vulnerability management approach
- Vulnerability scans occur before every major application release and as needed as part of our SSDLC. We also monitor and protect against the most critical web application security risks,like SQL injection,cross site scripting,OWASP Top 10 and Automated Top 20 threats. Our threat data is continuously updated to protect against the latest attacks.We are subscribed to threat newsletters and vulnerability lists for Microsoft, Amazon AWS, SANS, and US-CERT. When these feeds are updated we review them and take necessary action if there are any findings. We also subscribe to direct vulnerability feeds for software vendors we use if they provide them.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- We perform regular vulnerability & penetration testing, monitor threat data and updates. When a security report is filed from a customer or discovered internally, the same process occurs. First, each individual reported item is validated and given a CVSS score. If the vulnerability is of a certain rating, it is addressed immediately. The assessment then is evaluated by a team lead. If any reported are valid, the response to that item includes when the issue will be addressed and temporary security measures that can be taken. The customer response must take place within 24 hours from receiving the request.
- Incident management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402

Fighting climate change
As an organisation that works closely with the public sector, Somerford is keen to demonstrate our commitment to supporting the achievement of the Net Zero target of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Management and staff at Somerford have been conscious of our impact upon the environment even before the Climate Change Act was introduced, and we’ve adopted environmentally friendly practices as the business has grown. Consequently, Somerford ‘s business already has a reasonably low carbon footprint, and will continue to strive for further reductions wherever possible because this is beneficial for our business, our stakeholders and the environment.
We will use our influence as a value added reseller of leading edge software products and supporting professional services to select supplier-partners whose own carbon reduction philosophy and plans are aligned with ours, and who can show commitment to the Net Zero target. In practical terms, this means we participate in a carbon-net-zero supply chain in the delivery of the solutions from our supplier-partners to our customers.

Covid-19 recovery
During the Covid-19 pandemic, our robust business continuity measures, prudent fiscal policy, and the benefits of a highly flexible team, meant we were well prepared for the difficulties ahead.
Staff wellbeing has been at the forefront of our Covid-19 recovery plans, taking care of their physical and mental health, including;
* home working to avoid unnecessary exposure to the virus
* providing safe office space where staff personal circumstances dictated
* regular contact, albeit remotely, to prevent isolation
* organised e-based social events to maintain interaction;
As a result we have been able to:
* give uninterrupted service to our customers
* move our staff to home working
* avoid compulsory redundancies and minimised furlough
* in 2020, gain an 11% increase in revenues
* continue to grow the workforce by over 10% in the same year
* take on new partners to enhance our solutions portfolio
* invest in staff education to meet future customer needs.
Changes in business practices due to Covid-19 have shown that flexible work patterns can be very effective, and we’re unlikely to fully return to our previous style of working.
Our solutions have also helped customers to cope with their changing work patterns too - supporting their Covid recovery by providing the infrastructure, tooling and monitoring to support their own remote, flexible and sustainable ways of working. - Tackling economic inequality

Tackling economic inequality
Somerford is a healthily growing business, and actively strives to create employment opportunities that are inclusive of all socio-economic groups. For example:
* In the past 5 years, 20% of our staff entered our employment from leaving school, college or university;
* We have supported 12 apprenticeships;
* We run an internal academy scheme to build a broad range of technical skills in those who have the inherent skills, attitude and capability to become our next generation of experts;
* We actively participate in the Armed Forces Covenant Scheme and help to redeploy and reskill leavers from the Armed Forces. So far, 16 staff have joined us in this way;
* The ethnic mix of our staff is more diverse than that of our local community.
Strong technical skills are key to the delivery of services to our customers, so we’ve invested heavily in staff training - in 2020 alone, staff successfully completed over 100 technical courses. - Equal opportunity
