Information security policies and processes
The security of our systems and how we develop our code securely is hugely important to us, which is why we have a strong security culture and have a documented security framework which applies to all of our decision, working practices, training and behaviour. This policy and associated processes are managed at director level within the company. It also applies to our supply chain and our clients’ own internal security practices.

Applications are located within a datacentre operated by AWS and is therefore ISO 271001/ SOC2 Type 2 and PCI-DSS Level 1 certified.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Configuration and code changes are assessed and tested for security impact, against testing scripts on representative testing environments, and only deployed to production on documented sign-off. Dependencies are audited regularly automatically and manually.

All changes within infrastructure are logged and controlled so they can be monitored and audited. We restrict access to network devices using authentication, based on fine grained access controls. Permissions are set at minimum level and are managed through a central directory for terminations and audits. Runtime and service updates are rolled out periodically to ensure that new versions of every service used are included.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Vulnerabilities with the application and its frameworks are monitored and mitigated via regular security patching. Our maintenance updates will highlight any security fixes and patches applied, and the urgency and impact of the issues that these fixes deal with. Numiko is closely tied into the Wagtail community's release process.

When we are notified of new updates, we assess the urgency and plan when to apply them within the schedule. Critical updates are applied immediately as soon as they are released. The criticality of other updates is assessed according to Wagtail's process (https://docs.wagtail.org/en/v2.14.2/contributing/release_process.html).
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
We monitor application layer for uptime and response times, as well as for patterns of suspicious traffic and activities using automated profiling. Our response is tailored to the threat model, and includes measures from traffic blocking by IP/UA through to system isolation and lockdown.

Our hosting provider uses an open source host-based Intrusion Detection System.
Both internal and external security monitoring scans of the underlying instances and infrastructure are run at least quarterly, or after any significant change in the network. The internal scan process addresses all “high risk” vulnerabilities and includes rescans to verify that these issues are resolved.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Our process establishes an incident’s key features;
1.Nature and scope
2.Severity
3.Target resolution time
4.Mitigation
5.Log intentional changes from 24 hours prior
6.Resolution & root cause analysis
7.Implications and risks
8.Managing business impact
9.Escalation / communication processes

Once all the above information is in place, incident management teams work to resolution, to agreed priority levels.

Reporting is via Jira service desk, or nominated phone/email.

Upon resolution we provide an incident report;
• Business impact
• Root cause analysis
• Investigation & resolution steps taken
• Communication review
• Process review
• Improvement areas
• Summary of actions/next steps

Fighting climate change

Numiko is actively engaged in efforts to combat climate change by implementing environmentally conscious practices across our operations. Our primary environmental impacts stem from our electricity use, necessary for powering web development hardware, and the disposal of outdated or redundant hardware. To address these, we have committed to a renewable energy tariff, ensuring that all electricity used is sourced from renewable resources. Additionally, we adhere to a strict recycling program that prioritises the recycling of old hardware, significantly reducing the volume of waste sent to incineration or landfill.
Beyond these measures, Numiko is dedicated to promoting sustainability in everyday workplace activities. All paper products are either recycled or reused, and we are diligent about switching off machines and lights when not in use to conserve energy. We also cultivate an eco-conscious culture among our staff, providing education on sustainable practices to encourage environmentally responsible behavior both in and out of the office.
Understanding the environmental impact of commuting, Numiko supports flexible work arrangements, allowing staff to work from home to lessen their carbon footprint. For necessary travel, employees are encouraged to use public transport or participate in our Bike to Work scheme. This initiative facilitates staff in purchasing bicycles in a cost-effective manner through salary deductions, promoting healthier, eco-friendly commuting options. These comprehensive actions reflect Numiko’s commitment to playing a proactive role in environmental stewardship and supporting global efforts towards climate change mitigation.

Covid-19 recovery

Numiko is committed to supporting COVID-19 recovery efforts by leveraging our digital expertise to assist organisations in adapting to new realities and enhancing their digital presence. Recognising the critical need for robust digital solutions in the wake of the pandemic, we focus on creating user-centric platforms that facilitate remote interactions, ensuring businesses and educational institutions can continue operating efficiently and safely.

Our approach includes developing intuitive and accessible websites and applications that enable seamless remote services, from e-commerce systems to virtual learning environments. We also help organisations improve their online communication channels to maintain engagement with their clients and stakeholders during and beyond the recovery phase.

Additionally, Numiko provides strategic consulting to organisations looking to digitise their operations or enhance existing digital infrastructure to better serve their audiences in a socially-distanced world. By implementing advanced analytics and data-driven insights, we assist clients in understanding user behaviour changes due to the pandemic, enabling them to make informed decisions that support recovery and growth.

Through these efforts, Numiko aims to play a pivotal role in helping communities and businesses recover from the pandemic, ensuring they emerge stronger and more resilient.

Tackling economic inequality

Numiko actively tackles economic inequality by engaging in community-oriented initiatives that support local charities and foster the growth of the digital sector within our region. We understand that economic empowerment is vital and extend our resources—both financial and expertise—to stimulate local economic development and reduce disparities.

Our involvement with local charities is multifaceted: we not only donate financially but also commit our staff and management time to these causes. Moreover, we are dedicated to nurturing the future of the digital industry locally. Numiko team members frequently guest lecture at regional schools and universities, sharing knowledge and inspiring the next generation of digital professionals. We also hold events open to the public and invite the community into our offices, making the digital sector more accessible and promoting inclusivity.
Through digital platforms like Twitter and Facebook, we support and amplify the reach of charity events and community projects, leveraging our digital marketing skills to raise awareness and increase engagement. We encourage our employees to actively participate in personal fundraising efforts for charities, supporting them in securing sponsorship from colleagues and the wider network.

By integrating our business operations with community support and digital education, Numiko plays a crucial role in addressing economic inequality, ensuring our contributions help pave the way for a more equitable future.

Equal opportunity

Numiko is dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment that champions equal opportunities across all areas of its operations, ensuring compliance with diversity principles and preventing any form of discrimination or unfair treatment. Our comprehensive approach includes rigorous policies and practices covering recruitment, procurement, supply chain management, and internal promotions.

Our commitment to equality is especially evident in our hiring practices. Numiko's equality and diversity policy is integral to our operations, ensuring that all recruitment decisions are made impartially and free from bias—both conscious and unconscious. To support this, we provide focused training for our staff to recognize and eliminate potential discriminatory practices during the hiring process.

Promotion within Numiko is rigorously merit-based. Management is trained to objectively assess each employee's performance and potential, ensuring that all promotion decisions are fair and based on clearly defined, transparent criteria. This practice guarantees that all employees, regardless of their background, have equal access to growth opportunities.

Through these efforts, Numiko aims to cultivate a supportive and equitable corporate culture that values and respects the contributions of every individual. This commitment to diversity and equality is not only a moral imperative but also enhances our operational effectiveness and fosters a richer, more creative workplace.

Wellbeing

Numiko is deeply committed to fostering the health and well-being of its staff by promoting a supportive work environment and encouraging healthy lifestyle choices. Recognising the importance of work/life balance, we implement flexible and hybrid working arrangements that allow our team members to tailor their work schedules to fit their personal lives. This flexibility supports not only daily productivity but also overall satisfaction and mental health.
In addition to work flexibility, Numiko encourages physical wellness through various initiatives. We organise an annual walking weekend in Cumbria, which is not only a team-building experience but also an opportunity to reconnect with nature and step away from the digital world. For daily commutes, we advocate for walking and cycling, supported by a Bike to Work scheme that makes cycling an easier and more affordable option for our employees. Within the workplace, we offer healthy food options, such as fresh fruit, ensuring that our staff have access to nutritious snacks.
Our commitment to well-being extends into our professional output; user experience design is central to our projects. We ensure that our digital solutions are accessible to all, promoting inclusivity. By co-designing with communities and conducting rigorous testing, we ensure that our services enhance online communities and meet the diverse needs of users, reflecting our holistic approach to well-being in both our internal and external practices.
