- Information security policies and processes
-
Information is an asset that Storm ID has a duty and responsibility to protect.
Our information security management system (ISMS) sets our approach to managing information security and is approved by top management and communicated to employees, contractual third parties and agents.
Top management are committed to protecting the information that we store and process though good information security practices. To achieve this, and comply with regulations, we have established:
an information security policy
a commitment to customer focus and applicable regulatory requirements
information security objectives that are measurable and consistent with the information security policy
an ISMS describing our approach to information security
responsibilities, authorities and communication processes
a management review process
a process to ensure availability of resources
data access and security processes
a business continuity / incident management procedure
Top management believe that a commitment to information security is important in order to:
encourage information and cyber security awareness amongst employees, to develop and a ‘secure by design’ mindset
increase customer confidence, which helps build relationships with and retain customers
reduce our exposure to risk
effectively utilise our resources
Storm ID have Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation and are in the process of achieving compliance with ISO27001.
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
-
Change management is employed to evaluate, control and minimise risk and cost, and maintain the established standards and quality criteria. Our change management process is incorporated into our ITIL-based continual improvement process, that encompasses business objectives, creates baselines, defines measurements, and plans and implements improvements. Our change controls:
establish the purpose, category and nature changes
determine the potential consequences of changes
assess resource requirements for the changes
We use configuration management to establish and maintain consistency in our software’s performance. This includes configuration management for:
Project/work management
Source control
Build/release pipelines
Packages and artefacts
Azure CSP tenancies, subscriptions and Infrastructure - Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
- Storm ID apply our ISO13485 accredited Quality Management System processes, and Cyber Essentials Plus backed security best practices to the information and IT assets we handle, reducing risk associated with vulnerabilities by being able to identify, classify, prioritise, remediate and mitigate vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scans are run regularly to identify weaknesses in the configuration of systems and to determine if any are missing important patches or software. Remediation or mitigation is undertaken on any vulnerabilities identified according to the class and priority of the vulnerability.
- Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
We use ‘always-on’ proactive and protective monitoring to:
monitor the software performance
systematically identify risks
detect software faults when they occur
quickly initiate necessary corrective actions
Our proactive monitoring involves collecting meaningful and practical information. To do this we use tools such as:
Azure App Insights
Azure Log Analytics
StatusCake
Performance analytics
Service reports
Helpdesk calls and tickets
Customer complaints and positive feedback - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
-
Storm ID’s incident management process requires that all events and suspect events that could result in the actual or potential loss of data, breaches of confidentiality, unauthorised access or changes to systems, must be reported immediately to top management by email, telephone or in person.
Incidents are centrally recorded, and appropriate management measures, including escalation and notification procedures are in place.
Incident reporting procedures are included in employee training.
