The product includes an in-built chat feature that allows users to connect directly with a human support representative. In addition to in-product support, users can also initiate a web chat by visiting our website and clicking the support icon located at the bottom right, enabling them to request technical assistance, raise queries, or seek remote support.
During weekends and holidays, any chat that does not receive an immediate response is automatically converted into a support ticket within our ticketing portal to ensure timely follow-up. This approach ensures continuity of support, preserves customer confidence, and guarantees that issues are either resolved promptly through chat or escalated for further investigation when required. Overall, the chat system strengthens the customer experience and reflects our commitment to dependable, high-quality support. - Web chat accessibility testing
-
While specific documented testing with assistive technology users is underway, we are actively prioritising accessibility standards for our live chat widget. Our current focus centres on integrated features designed to enhance usability for all individuals.
Key accessibility implementations include:
Mouseless Navigation: The widget is fully functional without a mouse. Users can navigate forward using Tab, backward with Shift-Tab, and make selections via the Enter key.
Visual Adaptability: To ensure visibility across various devices, the application supports zoom controls ranging from 80% to 125%. Users can also customize text readability by selecting small, medium, or large font sizes to suit their preferences.
Screen Reader Integration: As a text-only interface, the widget is compatible with screen reader extensions. This allows focused areas to be read aloud, ensuring content accessibility for visually impaired users.
Compliance has been verified through manual testing for navigation and readability. We remain committed to refining these features as we advance toward full accessibility compliance, ensuring a seamless communication experience for every user across our digital platform regardless of their specific navigation requirements and individual technological preferences throughout the entire user journey. - Onsite support

Internal traffic between services, storage systems and disaster recovery sites is encrypted to prevent unauthorised access. ManageEngine operates fully controlled data centres with restricted physical access, continuous monitoring and dedicated security systems. Network protections include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, and segmentation to isolate sensitive components and limit lateral movement. Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel following strict authentication, logging and approval processes.
Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- ManageEngine guarantees an average monthly uptime of 99.9% for its Cloud solutions. The standard SLA covers monthly service availability. If the service falls below this threshold, customers may be eligible for service credits according to contract terms
- Approach to resilience
-
Application data is stored on resilient storage that is replicated across data centers. Data in the primary DC is replicated in the secondary in near real time. In case of failure of the primary DC, secondary DC takes over and the operations are carried on smoothly with minimal or no loss of time. Both the centers are equipped with multiple ISPs.
We have power back-up, temperature control systems and fire-prevention systems as physical measures to ensure business continuity. These measures help us achieve resilience. In addition to the redundancy of data, we have a business continuity plan for our major operations such as support and infrastructure management. - Outage reporting

-
ISO/IEC 27001 certifies our Information Security Management System (ISMS) and confirms that we have appropriate governance, controls, and continual improvement processes in place to manage information security risks within the defined scope of certification.
The certification does not certify individual products or specific technical features in isolation. Instead, it applies to the management framework, policies, processes, and controls that govern how information security is implemented and operated across our in-scope services.
Activities, systems, or services outside the formally defined ISMS scope are not covered by the ISO/IEC 27001 certification. This may include third-party services or infrastructure not operated or controlled by us, or internal systems not directly involved in the delivery of certified services.
ISO/IEC 27001 also does not replace or automatically include other standards (such as ISO/IEC 27017 or ISO/IEC 27018 - Which Zoho Corporation has obtained both certifications), which address cloud-specific controls and protection of personally identifiable information and are assessed separately where applicable. - ISO 28000:2022 certification

ISO 9001:2015 certifies our Quality Management System (QMS) and confirms that we have defined, implemented, and continually improved processes to ensure consistent service delivery within the certified scope.
The certification does not certify individual products, features, or technical performance in isolation. It focuses on the management framework for quality rather than guaranteeing specific service outcomes, configurations, or performance levels for individual services.
Activities, systems, or services outside the formally defined QMS scope are not covered by the ISO 9001 certification. This may include third-party services, customer-managed configurations, or internal processes not directly involved in the delivery and support of in-scope services.
ISO 9001 also does not address information security, privacy, or data protection controls, which are covered separately under standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and related certifications. - Quality management systems (QMS)

- CSA STAR certification
- Yes
- CSA STAR accreditation date
- Monday 4 August 2025
- CSA STAR certification level
- Level 1: CSA STAR Self-Assessment
- What the CSA STAR doesn’t cover
-
Zoho’s listing in the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR) is based on a STAR Level 1 Self-Assessment, which documents how our cloud security controls align with the Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM).
The STAR self-assessment applies to the security control framework and governance practices for our cloud services. It does not certify individual products, specific service configurations, or customer-managed settings in isolation.
Activities or services outside the scope of the published STAR self-assessment, including customer-controlled configurations, integrations with third-party services, or infrastructure not operated or controlled by Zoho, are not covered.
CSA STAR also does not replace other standards covering information security, privacy, or quality management, which are addressed separately through certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 and related standards.
In summary, CSA STAR provides transparency into our cloud security controls within scope, but not independent certification or coverage of out-of-scope services or configurations. - PCI certification
