Onboarding and offboarding
| Getting started |
Key stages in the on-boarding process comprise the following, managed under Civica’s Project Management Methodology which is based on PRINCE2. • Customer signs order for payment channels required • Contract is signed between Civica and customer • Project meeting agrees responsibilities and project plan • Client and Civica consultant draw up and agree specification • ICON consultant builds and delivers test system • Training given to Customer staff with full user documentation • End to end testing is carried out • Test system is signed off and a date set for live operation • Go live • Post live project meeting |
| Service documentation | Yes |
| Documentation formats | |
| End-of-contract data extraction |
At the end of the fixed term period, Civica will provide 3 months notice of termination offering the option to renew for a further fixed term or following completion of a service termination form, an exit plan will be agreed including data extract arrangements. Data can be extracted in agreed formats. Data volumes over 50GB will require an individual extraction plan including agreement on extract media. After contract termination all live client data will be deleted. All customer specific backups will be destroyed. There is an additional charge for providing individual backup services. |

| Customisation available | Yes |
| Description of customisation |
The Coldharbour application has a wealth of system parameters that can be switched to alter system behaviour in many areas. In addition there are over 30 user definable fields that are typically configured at the point of initial system modelling, along with items such as drop down lists etc. All the above are typically configured by the client, possibly in conjunction with our implementation staff. It is not uncommon for our clients to commission bespoke development work to allow the system to reflect their own operational or organisational work practices. This development is carried out on a time & materials basis following the agreement of scope of the work. |
Scaling
| Independence of resources |
Underlying hardware is dynamically allocated and balanced using VMware Dynamic Resource Scheduler (DRS). DRS ensures virtual servers are allocated the appropriate physical hardware resources at all times. DRS also enables virtual servers to be migrated to different physical hardware so system availability is maintained during planned or unplanned maintenance. Storage is allocated via a flash storage array capable of maintaining high IOPS throughput. |

For external vulnerability scanning, Civica employs the services of an external ‘CHECK’ approved provider to perform an annual penetration test against the external management IP interface. Supporting this, Civica is also certified to the CESG approved Cyber Essentials scheme. For high value financial hosted system, Civica also maintains a PCI-DSS v3.2 certification. In scope systems are subject to month internal and external vulnerability scans as well as a full penetration test twice a year. |

Civica has a network monitoring solution in place ‘OpsView’ as well as a full antivirus and anti-malware solution. These technologies check the hosted services for errors, infections and unexpected network traffic and are support by Cisco IPS/IDS at the perimeter layer. This monitoring service provides defence in depth, against compromise, by detecting infections and suspicious networking activity within the environment. |
