Vulnerability management approach
Potential threats to the solution are continuously monitored and assessed. Regular scans are carried out to determine if there are any vulnerabilities in the overall solution.
If there is a need for any security patches to be produced and applied these are produced immediately once a threat has been identified and applied as soon as possible in accordance with any regular maintenance windows or if the threat is severe enough will be applied immediately once confirmation has been sought from the client.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Endpoint protection is deployed to prevent malware, exploits and zero-day threats from compromising the hosted solution.
Memory is monitored to identify compromised processes or applications and behavioral analysis ensures unusual user behavior is reported.
Access monitoring ensures that the appropriate Security Information Policy is applied to the platform and that the approved use of this policy is monitored and can be reported on. It allows only authorised users
or processes to have access to the platform and ensures any deviations are reported for remedial action.
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 then discuss possible next steps and follow up actions directly with the client and agree a way forward. A full root cause analysis report is then produced and circulated at Director level within ROCC before being signed off and supplied to the client.
Users can report incidents to the ROCC helpdesk 24 hours day.
