Information security policies and processes
We follow the processes defined within our ISO 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS). Our implementation team develops, defines and refines ongoing tasks through an identified security baseline, applying the agreed risk management process, and implementing the risk treatment plan to ensure that controls applied are effective. We measure, monitor, and review these policies and controls on a month-by-month basis.

Our support technicians report to the Head of Customer Success who reports to the Chief Technology Officer who in turn reports to the CEO.

Adherence to policies is ensured by evidencing actions driven by the process, reviewing procedures at least annually and again evidencing this to the ISO auditor.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
The Configuration and Change Management process is designed to facilitate the introduction of changes quickly and with minimal disruption to live services, ensure that changes adhere to agreed service levels/contractual agreements and do not introduce additional risk of disruption, error or security. A Request for Change (RFC) is required for any modification. All changes must be approved by the Change Advisory Board (CAB).
The CAB approval process serves as a risk analysis activity, ensuring any risk associated by the Change has been accepted by the appropriate stakeholders.

All changes are maintained in the RFC tracker.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
All vulnerabilities are prioritised through risk assessment, monitored through notifications and assessed and actioned through change management or incident response procedures.
Available patches are risk-assessed and vulnerability control decisions are audited.
The ISO Steering Group receives regular reports on the vulnerabilities, any additional controls in place and outstanding issues.
Compliant with ISO27001, annual IT-health checks enable remediation within 3-6 months. Additional vulnerability assessments are informed by any changes to our security framework.

We are advised of threats/vulnerabilities through a range of distinct channels including The National Cyber Security Centre, Vendor Channels(e.g. Microsoft), Government customers such as Ministry of Justice.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Our protective monitoring controls are based around the legacy GPG13 guidelines (deter). Alarms are automatically raised to our service team on suspicious behaviour. Any suspicious behaviour is treated as a priority 1 incident and will be dealt with within 4 hours. We have analysis tools that are constantly scanning our solutions to identify curious patterns of behaviour that may identify potential compromises and alert system administrators accordingly.
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
Incidents raised by users or detected by Meganexus support professionals are categorised and assigned to the appropriate team. Incidents involving security, high-significance or business-critical systems are immediately addressed by the CTO and technical teams.
We investigate the cause and resolution of the incident and restore the service while providing notifications to the client.

Solutions for common events are documented in the Known Error Database and available to support teams.

Incidents are reported through emails, the service portal or phone.

All incident details are recorded in the service portal.

Incident reports requested by the client are extracted from the service portal.
