Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
CIRRUSinsite is built to be inherently intuitive to use and has minimalist design ethos. As such, there is a very short and manageable learning curve. To support the learning process online training via a series of short, pre-recorded video lessons is provided; the videos explicitly show how the software works and provide a demonstration of the in-built tools. In addition, a short user guide is provided which gives instructions on how to use the software as well as its key functionalities and benefits. This is built into the system itself under the help section.
In addition, a support line is open during office hours which can be called upon for problem solving and any initial issues.
At additional cost, onsite training can be provided. Prices can be negotiated upon request. - Service documentation

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- Configuration control is performed using source code management and version numbering. Our change management process is invoked whenever a change to the system is required. A change management plan is created, including identification of risks and associated mitigation. Software changes are managed in accordance with TickITplus accredited quality framework and taken through rigorous testing cycles. Before installing in the live environment, a rollback plan is formulated and any required downtime agreed. The changes are installed in live environment and checks performed to ascertain the change was successful. Where problems arise the rollback plan is initiated restoring system to baseline state.

Service failure severity types:
Severity1 •Constitutes Service loss, preventing system usage •Critically impacts activities of Authority that depend system use; •Causes corruption of Authority Data.
Severity2 •Prevents operation of particular sub-system. Could potentially: •Adversely (majorly) impact Authority activities that depend on system use. No workaround available •Cause disruption to Authority - more than trivial but less severe Severity1
Severity3 •Reproducible, has adverse impact on the activities of Authority. Can be reduced to moderate adverse impact, if workaround available.
Severity4 •Intermittent/ non-reproducible. Minor adverse impact on End user service provision.
Severity5 •Cosmetic flaw. Doesn’t undermine End User's confidence in displayed information.

Fighting climate change
Atkins is committed to fighting climate change as evidenced through becoming carbon neutral in 2021 as we drive our carbon emissions down to our net zero target by 2030. We have signed up to science based targets to reduce our own emissions through the global Race to Zero initiative.
Our commitment does not stop here; we are supporting our clients to meet their environmental reduction targets too. That is why we are upskilling our staff to understand the environmental impact of decisions, and to use these as considerations throughout the delivery lifecycle to provide better solutions for our clients. We will work hand in glove with our clients, helping provide awareness of the climate impact of the decisions that could be made such as circular economy opportunities.
CIRRUSinsite enables clients to minimise site visits, by capturing data from surveys and ensuring it is retained and available for future use. For example, measurements can be taken using relevant existing data without the need for additional site visits.
Atkins is also committed to creating a healthy workplace and we do this through our board-sponsored Health and Wellbeing Steering Committee. We’ve taken a data-led approach to developing our health and wellbeing framework which is focussed around physical, mental and financial wellbeing. Our industry-leading plans encompass a diverse range of initiatives and campaigns, such as mental health first aiders and volunteering days.
CIRRUSinsite can support reductions in the EHS risks clients face by making best use of survey data. For example, measurements can be made from drone survey data without the need to physically work at height.
