Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Data restoration and migration are not part of this service by default. Both of these options can be purchased separately. Atkins is able to migrate existing client data into a new deployment. The price of this service is dependent upon the amount and variety of legacy data to be migrated and will be determined during a clarification exercise prior to the commissioning of any work.

End-of-contract data extraction
A standard database backup of the data will be made available to the client upon termination of the service.
End-of-contract process
Once the contract has ended we will perform a full database backup of the “data” schema of the database by default. The database backup is provided as a SQL Server BAK file. The buyer can then take this database backup file and use it to restore the data to an alternative environment of their choosing. If required we can also provide the data in other standard formats, this will be an additional cost option for the buyer to choose at contract end. The cost will be determined by the export format required and the volume of data to be exported,

DMZs in place to ensure separation between the web servers and backend application and database servers, plus separation between the Live and Dev environments. Connections between the various servers are locked down to the necessary minimum. Centralised identification and authentication is required (e.g. Active Directory domain). Servers only have necessary server roles activated. Access to the servers for authorised Atkins staff is provided via a secure VPN.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Our service provides 99% uptime during the agreed hours of service.
Approach to resilience
We utilise a Public Cloud environment built using the OnApp Cloud Management platform. It provides an environment that is: - Scalable through auto-scaling (up and out) - Highly available through automatic failover and full active-active High Availability. The system is deployed across a multi-node environment ensuring that node failures do not bring the system down, the cloud management platform continually balances load across nodes and moves running services across nodes when issues are detected.
Outage reporting
Real-time server monitoring provides alerts to our Cloud providers when services have failed, these outages are then reported to our clients through the Technical Support helpdesk.

Information security policies and processes

Atkins follows a Business Management System (BMS) approach that brings together all our business processes in one place. The BMS assures our clients through the certification of ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001, and forms a key part of the Atkins Governance Framework, which also includes our Group Policy Statements and Code of Conduct. BMS is key part of our governance process, translating the Group controls into a set of core processes that are applicable across the business.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
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. Changes are implemented and tested in a development environment first. 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 to restore the system to its previous state.

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 impact on End user service provision. Severity5 - Cosmetic flaw. Doesn’t undermine End User's confidence in displayed information.
