End-of-contract data extraction
Within Apps you can easily create simple data export string. These string are specific to your needs and makes extracting data simple.
End-of-contract process
You extract your data from Apps you have created within the platform. You then notify your hosting provider that your ready to terminate the VM and they will destroy the information within the VM. This makes it incredible simple and secure.

Differences between the mobile and desktop service
Within the mobile interface information open below the feed information, in the desktop (Larger Screen) version it open to the right of the feed. The App builder within the mobile interface has three separate sections with navigation at the top, the desktop version display them in a line. Writing Javascript for input triggers is more difficult within mobile version, due to screen size.
Service interface
Yes
Description of service interface
We have both Mobile and Desktop service interfaces, accessible via a web browser (thin client).
Accessibility standards
WCAG 2.1 AAA
Accessibility testing
We've used postcss-high-contrast to develop the high contrast interface and use attributes defined by browser standards.
API
Yes
What users can and can't do using the API
It has an external submit API. This allows information to be submitted from Forms or other services. They create these external handlers within Apps and manage the data structures needed. We don't put limitation on the number of "calls" but they are charged as additional users.

API sandbox or test environment
Yes
Customisation available
Yes
Description of customisation
You can personalise Apps within the solution using the frameworks low code App builder. These Apps are personalised to suit end user needs and organisation work-flows.

Automated real-time work-flows can be personalised to integrate machine learning, visualisation and integration of other solutions.

Hooks can be created to extend the platforms functionality using multiple languages.

Real-time output streams empowers your organisations to provide visualisation on a complete data set easily.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Each service is a unique node that scales laterally, allowing you to control resources. The cloud infrastructure (Hosting service) used will manage the dependant Linux VM and you will need to ask for the hosting services for VM access guarantees. Our phone support can offer advice on this.

Analytics

Service usage metrics
Yes
Metrics types
We have a administration dashboard which covers, System information, Memory Usage, System Process Usage, Processes with highest Memory usage, IO input and Output, Total HTTPs request, Scheduler Usage, Errors, Users, Local Apps, Total Database Size.

Other data at rest protection approach
- Email credentials use Salted/236 sha hash.
- Password uses Blowfish encryption.
- Data blocks have a two stage encryption. Firstly a one-time-pad and then use 256 AES encryption.
- Data blocks use HMAC signature for read verification.
- You can bring your own encryption key (BYOK).

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
This depends on the cloud infrastructure providers SLAs you have chosen to pair the cloud software with. You can monitor reporting within the Admin interface.
Approach to resilience
It uses a laterally scaling/clustering functionality, that provides resilience. The event-driven functionality, means each event is isolated without shared memory. This mean if an event crashes due to bug or denial of service attempt, other events will not be interrupted.
Outage reporting
Email alerts.

Identity and authentication

User authentication needed
Yes
User authentication
  • 2-factor authentication
  • Username or password
Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
Governance is defined at a input level for specific users and groups for data blocks. There are four user types within the interface framework. The administration user which access metrics for the platform and has the ability to create users and apps. Data Container Administrators have access to their specific data container, can add users, create apps and information. The third type users can create information. Lastly there are secondary users these can only collaborate on information created.
Access restriction testing frequency
At least every 6 months
Management access authentication

Security governance approach
G8CC is Cloud Software solution that is configured on demand within Cloud Infrastructure that suits your needs. We don't have any access to your data or service, we offer encryption by default within the cloud software, but security and governance of the cloud software is dependant on the cloud infrastructure provider and your organisations needs.
Information security policies and processes
Security reporting for the virtual machine GARNET8 provides is done directly to GARNET8 Limited and our internal processes will offer patches within a responsible time. This time depends on the information provided by the reporting organisation.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Nodes within the network are monitored through the registration process when your create/delete a service. Configuration of your services aren't stored within our infrastructure, due to privacy. All system components within the platform have unit tests, code reviews and we use internal code checking tools. These tools have been developed internally with exceptional knowledge of the language, to monitor for possible security issues.
Vulnerability management type
Undisclosed
Vulnerability management approach
The solution creates logs and all ports should be closed except ssh 22, 80 (redirecting to 443), 443 and server to server port of your choice, e.g. 5280. Data is serialised when read from ports and we use a strongly typed language for the platform. This means your can't get around the type settings. A function will only allow what it expect otherwise it crashes and uses the event platform to manage this. Patches are deployed through the account admin and easily updated in running cluster.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Monitoring IP addresses that make requests on paths that don't exist. We also monitor client types that users log in on and if they login from a new device they will be asked to confirm the log in with a string.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Shut down the server, check logs looking at what data they've accessed if any, blacklist the IP address and report any incidents needed by law. Then startup the server and repeat if it happens again.
