Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
-
At a technical level we work with the force infrastruture team to ensure integration with the required systems and agreement regarding the security of the integration model. The onboarding process includes training the Force trainers to support roll out to end users. The mobile application is expected to be sufficiently easy to use that training documentation for end users is unnecessary.
Video based training to deploy on the device is available at extra cost. - Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
- End-of-contract data extraction
-
Airpoint provides web services to allow customers to extract the data they need in the format they want it.
If the force doesn't want to use the provided web services, Airpoint have scripts to export the data to a specific file or database format. - End-of-contract process
-
Six months prior to the termination or expiry of the contractual agreement Airpoint and the Customer will engage in an Exit Plan. The Exit Plan will include a mandatory Termination Discovery which will define as a minimum:
• The method, format and return of Customer generated data most appropriate to meet the exit and security requirements
• Exit timetable and appropriate milestones for the return of hardware, software and other equipment
• The compliance requirements for secure destruction and sanitisation of media
• Health & Safety and Risk Assessments
• Service exit criteria.
Airpoint will agree a price for delivering the Exit Plan and will have 10 days to transfer all Customer generated data residing within the Airpoint solution. Upon reaching the termination date, Airpoint will ensure that all of the Customer data is deleted and destroyed in a secure manner.

- Accessibility standards
- None or don’t know
- Description of accessibility
- The mobile application is not strictly a web application and therefore the Web accessibility standards do not apply. However, we have reviewed the standards and where applicable applied the intent of the WCAG 2 standards to the mobile application e.g. providing text alongside iconised buttons.

- API
- No
- Customisation available

- Description of customisation
- Although the application remains a standard product across all customers, customers can take particular modules to include in the application. The customer can also request colour changes and other cosmetic changes to alter to the look of the application to represent the organisation.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Application usage is controlled via bandwidth load balancing in certain circumstances a customer may have a virtual organisation where resources will be dedicated to that customer community.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
-
There are three levels of service usage provided with the service.
Anonymous usage of features to show number of transactions for each feature e.g. to show how many person searches have been conducted.
Usage of features combined with the user data to show usage of each feature by each user. e.g. Officer Smith has made 67 PNC searches in April 2017.
The third level of metrics is to supplement the above with the details of the data actually viewed on the mobile screen. This is primarily to support professional standards investigations and to protect officers. - Reporting types

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
- Customer RFCs will be raised through the Service Desk and will be managed via a Change Advisory Board who will establish the service boundaries from 3 levels of functionality: • User Service Request • Minor Change Request • Major Change Request Upon approval the System Design Authority will be responsible for producing the High-Level Design and, the Low Level Design for any proposed change to a service. After which the following procedural steps will take place: • Test & Evaluation • Quality Check • Change Implementation • Back Out Plan • Request for Change Completion • Change Wash-up
- Vulnerability management type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Vulnerability management approach
- Each service goes through a stringent risk management and accreditation assessment to ensure the relevant security incident and event monitoring technology and processes meet the guidelines set by GPG 13. The platforms are tested for vulnerability threat assessment by accredited companies annually.
- Protective monitoring type
- Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
- Protective monitoring approach
- A number of SIEM best practices are employed in safeguarding and monitoring information within the managed service such as o Compliance o Access control o Perimeter Defenses o Resource Integrity o Intrusion Detection o Malware Defense o Acceptable Use In the event of a security incident the task of reporting the action will be carried out by Airpoint who will liaise with the relevant parties and collate the security information in accordance with MOD policy - GPG 13: • This information will be made available when requested by the customer authority
- 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
- • The Force service desk contacts the Service Desk (SD) to log the call and is provided a reference number and applied a priority. • The SD will then perform first-line diagnostics for the Incident. If the initial diagnosis and rectification action clears the Incident, then it is closed with the agreement of the ForceSD. • If the incident is still current, it will be assigned a resolution group. • If the incident is resolved and agreed with the ForceSD then it is closed. If however the Incident cannot be resolved within the SLA, then the escalation process will begin.
