Requests for changes are detailed on the Change Request form and logged in the Change Control log. The originator obtains sufficient information to complete the Change Request form. The Development and Service Delivery teams then reviews, determines the resource requirement and carries out a risk assessment identifying potential risks and any additional mitigating actions. The designated Board level member is then accountable for authorising the change and ensuring its completion.

These sources together with Microsoft provide us with information regarding potential threats.
The time to deploy patches is dependent on supply chain but any judged critical are notified to the client immediately. Our target is to patch within one working day. As our "live" environment resides in our clients private cloud the application of patches supplied by us follows their internal policy and process. - Protective monitoring type
