Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- All changes are specified and approved at a technical management level before being approved for development. The development manager assess all developments and these are discussed for their impact on other parts of the system including any security, performance and ongoing support implications. All developments are managed with source control and tracked through their development life-cycle using GitHub and Trello. Testing is conducted on a number of test and development systems. All changes to the production system are reviewed for both code quality and final system impact by the Sitemorse Technical Director before they are allowed to go live.
- Vulnerability management type
- Undisclosed
- Vulnerability management approach
-
Sitemorse conducts internal auditing from time to time. No sensitive client data is stored by Sitemorse. As the Sitemorse service is software as a service, any patch to address a potential threat can be deployed straight away. This has no impact on any client system.
Sitemorse provides software as a service and the service is hosted by Rackspace in the UK. Rackspace also have their own procedures for monitoring and assessing vulnerabilities for hardware and operating system. - Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
In the worst case scenario of unauthorised access to Sitemorse, a hacker might obtain a list of names, email addresses, and the content of tests of clients websites (which is almost always pages from their public web sites). We do not store any confidential or sensitive information on our servers.
Potential compromises are tracked with audit trails for all Sitemorse staff and all Sitemorse clients. Should a compromise be detected, we respond to it as soon as possible. Services or individuals can be suspended instantly. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
-
Software errors generated by client access to the system are monitored by Sentry. Notifications automatically sent to technical staff and these are managed appropriately depending on the severity of the issue. Automated server processes monitor the health of the service and will, for example, restart failed processes.
Issues can also be reported by clients as part of the support process. This is by phone or email. Response to an incident depends on the severity of the incident. For example, an unavailable service will be addressed straight away.
Sitemorse reports any incidents to clients as needed depending on the incident.
