Users can export their data directly from ServiceDesk Plus through built-in export options available across areas like: Users, Requests, Problems, Changes, Releases, Purchase Order, Solutions, Attachments, Category, Vendor, Workstation, Asset, Components, Consumable Quantity Details, Consumable Allocations, Conversations in Requests, Problems, Changes, and Releases. Data can be exported in either CSV or XLSX format and only the first 3,000 rows of data will be exported during a single export.
Customers can additionally request a full data export on demand, which is made available for download from the Data Administration section. Upon contract termination, if the customer has multiple instances, only one instance is downgraded to the Free Standard edition (up to five technicians), as only a single free Standard instance is permitted per account. This is typically the first instance eligible for downgrade. Any additional instances remain active until the next scheduled cleanup cycle. If the account continues to remain inactive, these instances—and their associated user data—are automatically deleted as part of the periodic cleanup process. - End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract, the ServiceDesk Plus instance is deprecated to the Standard edition that is free for up to five technicians.
Upon contract termination, user data is first removed from the active database during the next scheduled cleanup cycle, which occurs every six months if the account remains inactive. Backup data is then securely purged within three months of active data deletion. During off-boarding, customers are provided options to export their data, and all sensitive information is securely transferred or deleted in alignment with our privacy and data-retention policies. - Documentation accessibility standard
- None or don’t know
- How the documentation is accessible
- Upon sign-up, users are guided through a structured getting-started flow that clearly outlines what is required to set up the platform, including initial configurations, role assignments, and best-practice templates. Contextual in-product help is available directly within the interface to support users as they configure the service. If required, we will share further onboarding and off-boarding documentation on a case-by-case basis and on request.

- Other protection within supplier network
- ManageEngine protects data within its network using layered security controls. Data stored in Zoho data centres is encrypted at rest using strong encryption standards. 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

- What the ISO/IEC 27001 doesn’t cover
-
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
