-
The system is being updated constantly so we test regularly. Whilst we do not do full testing for our frequent updates, one of our developers is visually impaired and cares deeply that we ensure our interface is easy to use. This enables us to do quick quality checks until our next scheduled full accessibility testing session.
Our sister company Big Red Square Ltd owns and manages Usability Testing Labs in our building (https://bristolsitelab.co.uk), which makes testing far easier to achieve regularly. - API

Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
We do not guarantee that users are not affected by others, however it is extremely unlikely.
Load from user interaction is fairly light, and caching is heavily used in order to reduce load.
The servers are considerably more powerful than any projected load by a very large factor.
Should general load increase, additional server resources can be applied in very short timescales.

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
- N/A
- Approach to resilience
-
The servers are virtual, and run on hardware for which multiple alternative machines are available. As such for a full hardware failure for whatever reason, new hardware can be rapidly deployed by restoring from a full VM backup.
If the entire server farm was compromised, then the files and database can be redeployed to any compatible server within an hour. The only limiting factors in this situation is DNS redirection, for which the TTL is kept intentionally low.
For any smaller failures, full file and database backups are maintained daily and can be re-deployed within minutes. - Outage reporting

Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
-
The system is software which is developed through Git Version control. Any new developments are tagged and each goes through a thorough testing process before being released to the production servers, and even then goes through further testing on that server before being released to the live service.
Git maintains a full history of updates, versions and resolved issues. - Vulnerability management type
- Undisclosed
- Vulnerability management approach
-
Our service is tiers upon an operating system, framework and the application itself.
The operating system is very regularly patched, and we follow security feeds which inform us of any potential vulnerabilities, even if not yet patched so that any necessary action could be taken.
The framework and its components have a similar system of released patches which are applied within hours if critical, non critical patches - such as those identified as non-threatening go through a testing process first.
The application itself has regular vulnerability testing, and is updated if necessary. - Protective monitoring type
- Undisclosed
- Protective monitoring approach
-
The entire file system is compared against an external version for any unauthorised changes.
Within the application key functionality is checked regularly and users are monitored for any unusual activity.
If a compromise is identified and confirmed, the response is instantaneous and depends on the severity of the threat.
Honeypots are also in use which will instantly block a user by IP address. - Incident management type
- Undisclosed
- Incident management approach
-
The application itself provides users with the ability to report any issues or incidents.
All incidents are logged in our ticketing system, alongside any issues, bugs or pending system changes. As such they can be seen in context with all ongoing work.
Reporting is a feature of the ticketing system, since all of the above ticket types are categorised and ranked, and can therefore be pulled into relevant reports.
