Information security policies and processes
As a data processor for our clients, and a data controller for our own employee data, we ensure that we process only information required in the operation of the Eli onboarding solution and the management of our business.

Our primary responsibility to that data is to keep it safe and ensure any data no longer required is destroyed appropriately and fully.

Access to the Eli system is restricted and based on the Principle of Least Privilege (PoLP).

A matrix of all Eli roles and corresponding access rights is decided with the client at the initial scoping meeting, client roles are then modified and configured uniquely for each client depending on specific security and access requirements. Accounts can be deleted, suspended or deactivated either by a client administrator or by a CA3 employee with appropriate administrator privilege to that client company account.

A full infosec data document is available on request.

Environmental policy

We recognise that we have a responsibility
to the environment beyond the legal
requirements. We are committed to reducing
our environmental footprint by:
• Reducing energy use - turning the lights off
when leaving office, or not using them when it
is not necessary during the day.
• Reducing water use or ensuring we are not
wasting water - checking for dripping taps
and pipes.
• Minimising waste and recycling more –
we have recycling bins in the office and
recommend double-sided printing
were possible.
• Promoting use of non-motorised transport
- if possible, encourage all our people and
associates to walk, cycle or use public
transport when getting to the office. One of
our benefits is also a cycle to work scheme.
• Reduce our use of plastics
• Work with suppliers and partners who are
focused on reducing their environmental
footprint as well.
Equal opportunity

Equal opportunity

Inclusion and diversity are fundamental to our
culture and the success of our business. Every
person in CA3 has a responsibility to create and
sustain an inclusive environment, where every
one feels like they can belong.
We believe that no one should be discriminated
against because of age, ability, ethnicity, gender,
gender identity and expression, religion or
sexual orientation.
As our business grows having a rich diversity of
people in CA3 will help us serve our clients better
and create an incredible internal culture. Variety,
after all, is the spice of life!
