Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
Lyniate have developed an implementation methodology for the delivery of our software and services, including Envoy, that is clear, streamlined and outcome focused.
Upon engagement with our services team, we will work with the customer team to confirm the scope. deliverables and the detailed interface business requirements using standard proven tools and methodologies.
Our Project Manager will provide a base project schedule which details the Lyniate and customer tasks, indicative timelines, and resourcing. Once timelines are agreed the Lyniate Project Manager will co-ordinate and manage the communication with the customer’s assigned project manager/point-of-contact to ensure that all dependencies are made available to Lyniate, and that the scheduled tasks and deliverables are completed.
Infrastructure and environment setup, interface development including unit testing and migration to the production environment, as well as post go-live support will be performed by Lyniate. UAT is performed by the customer. - Service documentation
- No
- End-of-contract data extraction
- No data is extracted, the Envoy platform does not hold data since it is essentially middleware and only parses data between systems.
- End-of-contract process
-
The customer should provide the correct term cancellation notice as per the contract with Lyniate.
Lyniate would terminate the service in line with agreed dates and no further service would be provided, the platform would be 'switched off' essentially .
1. Discus and sign-off termination with customer (confirm archive details and termination time and date).
2. On termination date, execute data extraction processes and send to the customer over previously agreed channels.
3. Advise customer when complete.
All actions are included in the price.

Availability and resilience

- Approach to resilience
- Envoy is built on infrastructure-as-code principals on AWS. Any AWS issues and be detected an either immediately remedied by re-starting in another availability zone or alerted so an on-call engineer can resolve the issue. AWS provides 3 data-centres (AKA availability zones) in London and another 3 in Northern Ireland. If all 3 separate data-centres in London fail, the whole service can be switch to Northern Ireland as part of a disaster recovery process.
- Outage reporting
- Outages are available via the customer's service dashboard. These are also communicated via email. If the outage is serious enough to affect message processing, we will escalate this as appropriate with the customer via a phone call.

- Vulnerability management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- All Envoy designs or design changes undergo a threat modelling exercise. Regular penetration tests are used to expose potential threats. Patches that do not require any service outage are deployed instantly. Patches that require a service outage are planned with the customer to fit in with their testing and change control processes. Potential threat information comes from the Envoy SOC (i.e. Anitian Sherlock).
- Protective monitoring type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- The TrendMicro Deep Security toolset is embedded into all Envoy components and audited via the Envoy SOC. All other auditable actions are also sent to the SOC. Any potential security issues are immediately alerted to the on-call engineer. Any security related events are considered to be a P1 event and are handled immediately.
- Incident management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Incident management approach
