Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability: Atos guarantees 99.9% monthly availability for G-Cloud services, measured across core components. This SLA is monitored via Atos ServiceNow and cloud-native dashboards. If availability falls below the guaranteed level, Atos can apply service credits, calculated as a percentage of downtime against monthly charges. Our SLA covers infrastructure, platform, and managed services, excluding planned maintenance windows (communicated in advance). Atos also offers enhanced availability options (up to 99.95%) for customers requiring higher resilience, supported by redundant architecture and proactive monitoring. All SLA breaches also trigger root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
Approach to resilience: Atos services operate within UK Tier III data centres that feature N+1 redundancy for power, cooling, and hardware. We utilise an active-active setup, with synchronous data replication and automated failover across geographically distinct locations. Our network connects via diverse fibre routes to eliminate single points of failure. Disaster recovery plans undergo annual testing, and business continuity procedures adhere to ISO 22301 and UK NCSC Cloud Security Principle 2. These strategies guarantee continuous service, even if individual components or entire sites fail.
Outage reporting: Atos can provide real-time outage notifications via email and SMS to nominated contacts. Critical incidents trigger direct communication from account managers. Post-incident reports with root cause analysis are shared within agreed timelines. Customers can perform API integrations to automate status updates ensuring timely and transparent communication.

Reporting Structure: Security governance is overseen by a board-level executive supported by regional security officers and service managers.
Policy Enforcement: Compliance is maintained via mandatory security training, automated monitoring, and regular internal audits. All changes undergo risk assessment and approval through our ITIL-aligned change management process. Non-conformities trigger corrective actions and are tracked to closure.
As part of standard practice, Atos also conducts annual penetration tests, continuous vulnerability scans, and monthly governance reviews with customers.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach: Atos applies ITIL-aligned Configuration and Change Management processes under our ISO/IEC 27001-certified ISMS. All service components are recorded in a Configuration Management Database, tracking assets from provisioning through decommissioning. Changes follow a formal workflow: impact analysis, security risk assessment, and approval by a Change Advisory Board (CAB). Security reviews include vulnerability checks and compliance validation against UK NCSC principles. Automated tools provide version control and rollback capability. Every change is logged, auditable, and linked to governance reporting to ensure transparency and zero compromise on security.
Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach: Atos complies with recognised standards for vulnerability management, including CSA Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) v4.0 and SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402.
Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach: Atos uses ISO 27001-certified protective monitoring integrated with SIEM and SOC operations. We identify potential compromises through continuous log analysis, anomaly detection, and threat-intelligence correlation across sources such as NCSC advisories and vendor feeds. Alerts are triaged by our 24/7 Security Operations Centre, applying automated and manual investigation to confirm incidents. Once a compromise is suspected, containment actions are initiated immediately, followed by root cause analysis and remediation. Critical incidents are responded to within the stipulated time, with complete resolution tracked under ITIL processes.
Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach: Atos operates predefined incident processes via its UK SOC, MDR and DFIR services. Users raise incidents through the service portal or dedicated SOC email/phone. Incidents are triaged, investigated and contained using playbooks and automation, then eradication and recovery follow. Post‑incident, we deliver reports with timeline, root cause, indicators, affected assets and corrective actions via secure channels. Processes run 24×7 and align with public‑sector requirements across cloud and hybrid environments.
