Conduit's standards comply with ISO27001:2005 and ISO27002 (formerly ISO17799) guidelines. Within the ISO27001 Standard, consideration is given to specific legal requirements (such as PCI-DSS, Data Protection Act, and General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR]) to ensure that any risks are identified, measured and mitigated with controls (i.e. policies, training or technical restrictions.
Conduit Global's management has set a clear policy direction and demonstrated support for, and commitment to, information security through the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the Information Security Management Systems policy throughout the organisation.

- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402

- Conduit Global actively monitor events across our infrastructure, and partners with a third party company who carries out analysis of data collected. The monitoring is carried 24/7 and any suspicious behaviour is raised with Conduit Global on a real time basis. Conduit Global also uses antivirus on server and client device equipment to ensure Malware is identified and correctly addressed. We also utilise IPS/IDS technology to identify possible compromises/threats. This overall approach ensures that Conduit Global respond to any incidents within 24hrs of occurrence. If a potential compromise is found it is treated with the utmost importance and responded quickly.

Incidents will be classified so they can be handled as quickly as possible. Incidents are given an initial classification according to the category and severity of issue. The priority will be determined by the impact and urgency of the resolution.
Incident report updates are provided via email or via the management portal. Once resolution has been applied a final report will be produced and sent to the senior management team.
