- Adora is accessed through native mobile applications on iOS and Android. The service interface provides secure, authenticated access to personalised menopause education, conversational support, structured plans, symptom tracking, and optional clinician or nurse-led interactions. The interface is designed for ease of use on mobile devices, with clear navigation, readable typography, and accessible controls. Users interact via touch-based navigation, in-app messaging, and notifications. Administrative configuration and reporting for organisational customers is provided separately where required.
- Accessibility standards
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Accessibility testing
- Adora has undertaken an accessibility audit of its mobile application against WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA criteria. The audit included review of colour contrast, text resizing, touch target sizing, navigation structure, screen reader compatibility, and use of accessible labels and semantics. Testing considered common assistive technologies available on iOS and Android platforms, including built-in screen readers and accessibility settings. Findings from the audit informed design and implementation improvements, and accessibility is reviewed as part of ongoing product development. Direct usability testing with individual assistive technology users has not yet been conducted, but feedback from accessibility reviews and inclusive design principles continue to guide enhancements.
- API
- No
- Customisation available
- Yes
- Description of customisation
-
Adora supports configuration-based customisation without bespoke development. Organisational administrators can configure eligibility rules, access controls, onboarding flows, and which features or programmes are enabled for their population. Content emphasis, communications, and engagement prompts can be tailored to align with organisational priorities and policies. Reporting and insight views can be configured where applicable.
End users can personalise their experience through profile information, preferences, symptom tracking, goals, and interaction choices within the app.
Customisation is performed through secure administrative setup and in-app configuration options. Organisational-level configuration is carried out by Adora during onboarding, while individual users control their own personal settings. Customisation does not involve code changes or bespoke builds and is consistent across customers.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Adora operates as a multi-tenant SaaS platform. While the service is designed to scale, extreme or abnormal surges in usage by a single customer could temporarily affect overall service performance. To mitigate this risk, the platform uses cloud auto-scaling, load balancing, monitoring and rate-limiting controls to manage demand and maintain stability. Usage patterns are actively monitored and capacity is adjusted to minimise the impact of spikes. Service availability and performance are managed in line with agreed service levels.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
Adora provides a 95% monthly uptime target covering the core Adora service, including the application, user registration, and website. Availability is measured on a monthly basis and excludes planned maintenance.
Adora operates defined service levels for incident management, including acknowledgement of reported issues within 2 working days, and resolution of high-priority issues within 2 working days where no workaround exists.
Planned maintenance resulting in downtime exceeding two hours is communicated with at least 24 hours’ notice. - Approach to resilience
-
Adora is designed as a cloud-hosted service with resilience built into its application and infrastructure layers. The service is hosted in secure UK and EEA cloud datacentres with managed infrastructure, redundancy, and automated backups provided by our cloud hosting provider.
Core application services are deployed using scalable cloud components, allowing the platform to handle variations in user demand and recover quickly from component failures. Regular backups are taken and retained in line with our data retention and recovery policies to support service restoration if required.
The service is continuously monitored, with alerts in place to identify availability or performance issues. Incidents are logged, prioritised, and managed through defined operational and support processes.
While Adora operates as a shared service environment, safeguards such as rate limiting, monitoring, and operational controls are used to reduce the risk of individual usage patterns impacting overall service availability. - Outage reporting
-
Adora monitors service availability and performance continuously using automated monitoring and alerting.
In the event of a service outage or material service degradation, the Adora operations team is alerted automatically and investigates in line with our incident management process.
Customers are notified of confirmed outages and significant incidents via email to agreed operational or support contacts. Where relevant, updates are provided during the incident and a follow-up summary is shared once the issue has been resolved.
Planned maintenance that may impact service availability is communicated in advance via email, including expected duration.
Adora does not currently operate a public status dashboard or outage reporting API, but outage information and incident summaries are available to customers on request.

Security governance
- Named board-level person responsible for service security
- Yes
- Security governance certified
- No
- Security governance approach
-
Security governance at Adora is risk-based and proportionate to the sensitivity of health data we process.
We maintain documented security policies covering access control, secure development, incident management, data protection and supplier assurance. Security responsibilities are owned at leadership level and reviewed regularly. Changes to the platform follow controlled release processes, with vulnerability scanning and at least annual external penetration testing. Incidents are logged, investigated and remediated with defined escalation and notification procedures. We align our approach to the UK Software Security Code of Practice and continuously improve controls as the service scales. - Information security policies and processes
-
Adora follows a defined set of information security policies and operational processes proportionate to the sensitivity of the health data we process.
These include policies for information security, access control, data protection and GDPR, incident and breach management, secure software development, vulnerability management, backup and recovery, supplier assurance, and acceptable use.
Security governance is owned at leadership level, with day-to-day responsibility delegated where appropriate. All staff and contractors are required to follow these policies as part of onboarding and ongoing engagement. Access to systems is role-based and reviewed regularly.
Adherence to policies is enforced through technical controls, documented processes, code review, audit logging, vulnerability scanning and at least annual external penetration testing. Security incidents and policy breaches are logged, investigated, and escalated according to a defined incident response process, with corrective actions tracked to completion. - Software Security Code of Practice

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Adora operates supplier-defined configuration and change management controls aligned with industry best practice. All changes to application code, infrastructure and configuration are managed through version control, peer review and controlled deployment processes.
Changes are assessed for risk and impact before release, tested in non-production environments, and deployed using controlled release procedures. Emergency changes follow an expedited but logged and reviewed process. Configuration changes are documented, auditable, and restricted to authorised personnel only. - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Adora operates supplier-defined vulnerability management controls aligned with industry best practice. We assess potential threats using a combination of automated vulnerability scanning and automated penetration testing provided by Astra, alongside dependency and library monitoring for known CVEs. Findings are triaged based on severity and risk. Critical and high-risk issues are prioritised and patched as soon as practicable, typically within days. Vulnerability information is sourced from automated tooling, vendor security advisories, dependency alerts, and regular penetration testing results, with fixes verified through re-testing.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Adora uses supplier-defined protective monitoring controls aligned with industry best practice. We use cloud-provider monitoring, application logs, and automated alerts to detect potential security incidents, including abnormal access patterns, error rates, and unexpected system behaviour. Logs are centrally collected and retained for investigation.
Potential incidents are reviewed by the engineering team, who assess impact, contain issues, and remediate as required, including applying configuration changes or fixes. Incidents are prioritised by severity, with higher-risk issues responded to promptly during working hours. All incidents are logged and reviewed to support continuous improvement. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- Adora operates a defined incident management process aligned with operational security best practice. Common incident types (service availability, security alerts, data issues) have pre-defined response and escalation procedures. Users report incidents via a dedicated support email or support portal. Incidents are logged, prioritised, and assigned for investigation. Customers are kept informed of progress and resolution timelines. For material incidents, Adora provides post-incident summaries outlining impact, root cause, remediation actions, and preventative measures taken.
