The exact makeup of this team will depend on the skills required in order appropriately identify and resolve the issue, however all reports from this team will be returned to the Information Security Manager.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls
• Configuration and change management approach: All changes should be requested via raising a support ticket with the Customer Success team. The request will then be triaged, and allocated to the relevant internal team. The change will be assessed for any potential security or availability impact, and if appropriate a quote provided to the customer. Once agreement is in place a change request is raised. Where the change is judged to have a possible affect on the security of the site, or requires a change to a global setting to be changed the CR is escalated to a senior manager for review.
• Vulnerability management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Vulnerability management approach: Where available we subscribe to security feeds from all our suppliers. When notification of an issue is received, we immediately assess these based on the CVSS score and the use of the feature or application within our environment. Using this data we decide if the patch can be deployed as part of our regular monthly patching schedule, or if we need to directly contact customers in order to arrange an additional at-risk window.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: Full monitoring is implemented for the server hardware, virtual machine OS and where available the application itself. This includes monitoring of the server exception logs, so that any spikes in application or OS errors can automatically be flagged. Our gateway firewall hardware also includes IPS systems which scan and log all traffic. IPS signatures are automatically updated to ensure new threats are covered.
• Incident management type: Supplier-defined controls
• Incident management approach: Full details of this process are documented in the Cantarus Incident Management Policy. Users who suspect an issue should immediately report this to the Information Security Manager. Depending on the scope of the potential incident, this may then immediately be escalated to the board of directors. Once an event has been verified as a potential issue, this will also be raised with the customer. On completion on the investigation and and remediation activity, the customer will be provided with a full incident report.
