Information security policies and processes
On a general basis the governance framework is based on:
• Understanding the criticality of information and information security to L3C and our clients
• Reviewing investment in information security in relation to our business strategy and risk profile
• At a Board level endorsing continued development and implementation of a comprehensive information security programme
• Regular reporting of the programme’s relevance and effectiveness:
Consequently, we:
• Define and review the policies and best practices
• Define a systematic approach to identify any risks
• Assign ownership and a Plan-Do-Check-Act model that analyses and assesses risk, identifies possible alternatives to mitigate and implement the solution

Information security is reviewed at Board level and considered a Board level responsibility.

L3C has a dedicated policy for risk assessment, which includes:
• Methodologies to calculate risk impact
• Plans for risk mitigation
• Risk treatment
L3C Information security team holds regular meetings to review security processes, risks, weaknesses and incidents. Items are raised at Board level as required.

Any actions are assigned owners and tracked to completion.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
All the assets that make up the Cloud service are described and their configuration status held in our CMDB. Any configuration change is subjected to change management and the CMDB is audited every 6 months for discrepancies. We cover the lifecycle of all our assets from onboarding to offboarding and recycling.
A Change Advisory Board (CAB) supervises changes which are categorised as standard or emergency. The change process includes; steps to implement the change including order and dependencies; responsibilities; timelines and escalation procedures. Standard changes are proven and low risk, emergency changes are implemented as soon asap.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
L3C utilises an annual penetration test performed by an external body CREST Approve body (BSI) and holds the Cyber Essentials certification. Additionally our Internal services are scanned and tested regularly for compliance with the security policies in the company to ensure we retain our ISO 27001:2013 certification.
Critical patches are deployed within 24 hours but our cloud infrastructure runs on IBM Power servers which are amongst the most secure on the commercial market place. Therefore we receive our information about potential threats from vendors such as IBM, as well as Linux vendors such as RedHat.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
We can provide our protective monitoring process on request to a potential user. If we find a compromise we implement our incident management procedure as described earlier. The response time will depend on the priority assigned to the incident and the associated change management procedure.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
We have pre-defined processes for security events, hardware failures and problems reported by our clients. Users can report incidents using a Priority Classification (1,2 and 3) to our service desk and each is responded to within a strict SLA. Incidents can be reported electronically via a service desk tool or by phone (24x7). Incident reports are provided to the user on an agreed basis (the standard is monthly but the frequency can be tailored on request). Our proactive monitoring may also identify incidents and similarly we will assign a priority to them and address accordingly
