API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
Causeway365 offers an extensive range of API interface options for interacting with the application, and our preferred approach is to interface with your underlying systems to provide our analytical capability on up-to-date information without any additional administrative overhead for your internal teams. We have connectors built for common applications, but our API is flexible and configurable allowing other data sources and systems to be integrated. The API:
· can be used to export data to a database, a web service or an attachment on an email
· can be used to automatically populate and synchronise information from your data warehouse or golden source of information. Multiple sources can be combined.
· accepts data “pushed” to it from another system, or can “pull” data from any source
· can be used in real time or based on a schedule or trigger
There are no limitations on the number of users who can be granted permission to make changes through the API. Role based security controls which users have permission to use the API.

Configuration and change management approach
There is a structured approach to configuration and change management. System patches and updates are managed via a range of automated tools such as WSUS and SCCM. Change to systems, infrastructure and application are managed through a formal change management process – with assessment and authorization granted via the Change Advisory Board (CAB). The CAB meets on a weekly basis to assess proposed changes for implementation during the following weeks change window. Emergency changes require the same approvals but expedited procedure. All changes undergo a retrospective review to ensure the change went as planned or if further action is required.

Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Causeway’s programme is a fully integrated approach to managing all the assets and products. The assessment process includes reviews across the development cycles, release and deployment. The program combines both internal and external scanning solutions. An external qualified third party are engaged at various points during the year to conduct a combination of application and infrastructure pen-testing and vulnerability assessments. The Qualys CloudGuard Vulnerability Management and Web Application Scanning tool is deployed for internal scanning. Vulnerabilities are defined and prioritized according to the CVSS and CVE releases. All reports are review by the Compliance team and issues defined and actioned.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
The asset and infrastructure are monitored using the Solarwinds network monitoring tool, this ensuring the capability to track the overall health of the network, infrastructure and other assets – using event logs, threat detection, capacity thresholds and activity alerts. these are actively monitored in real time across our international established support teams. The process meets the guidelines set out in both the Cyber Assessment Framework V.3 and also NIST SP800-137 (Network Security Monitoring)
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
The Causeway incident management procedure is fully aligned with industry best practice standards – the process is managed in two parts allowing for the appropriate prioritisation of activities, controls and mitigating actions – 1. The Cyber / security incidents are aligned to ISO 27035 2. Support and other technical incidents are managed within the ITIL Framework / ISO 20000.
