- We have attained level 2 at NHS Business Partner Status in the IG Toolkit and all staff receive information governance training yearly. We have a Caldicott Guardian and a Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO). We have information risk registers, information asset registers etc. All staff are aware that any breaches are reported directly to the SIRO, and the SIRO then reports on to the Information Owners (our capacity is as information processor and never owner). We apply all of the principles laid out in both of these information security policies in the design of our systems. We have role based access control, pseudonymisation where necessary, no clearly identifiable personal data etc. We also comply with the NHS Code of Practice – Confidentiality and the Data Protection Act.
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- We have a complete change management log in which all change requests are submitted, evaluated, prioritised and implemented (or not depending upon the evaluation process) according to established priority. We work to an Agile development methodology and so continually improve and update our products. We utilise industry standard version control techniques. Redgate SQL Source Control is used to assist in config management within all of our back end objects, and Team Foundation Server is used to manage all middleware and front end code objects.
- Vulnerability management type
- Undisclosed
- Vulnerability management approach
- Patches are deployed monthly unless there is serious risk, where patches are performed immediately. We get our information about potential threats from CERT/CC (Computer Emergency Readiness Team Coordination Centre) - US, National Vulnerability Database – US, and National Cyber Security Centre – UK.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
- All server logons and access requests are logged with a 3 year retention. Network traffic is monitored periodically to ensure that no breaches have occurred. Various reporting channels have been set up to record breaches depending upon the nature of the breach. Breaches are scored in terms of impact and the upward reporting flows change as the impact of a breach grows, as does the time frame within which the breach must be dealt with.
- Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
- We have incident management processes in place that are enacted in response to security incidents. We have a defined process for reporting security incidents experienced by consumers and external entities. We publish to consumers our definition of a security incident, along with the format, incident triggers and timescales for reporting such incidents.
