Security governance approach

Additional details can be obtained through the audit reports available from the Service Trust Portal at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/TrustCenter/STP/default.aspx).
Information security policies and processes
Security is taken extremely important and is in the direct purview of the IT Director. Staff report directly about security matters and there is a no blame, and a report all, approach to security. This ensures that staff have not got any disincentives to report actual and potential security threats for further actioning.

In this environment staff feel comfortable checking the previous work of other staff members during regular security audits.

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
All changes are tracked using Microsoft's Team Foundation Service (TFS). No change can be made without being logged and as all builds, and tests, are automated, no release can be made without a change being recorded. From initial request to release is all performed, and tracked, within TFS. In the development early stages automated builds and tests act as gateways. A final manual test is run before release.
Vulnerability management type
Supplier-defined controls
Vulnerability management approach
Staff subscribe to multiple security mailing lists and websites to keep abreast of the latest in security vulnerabilities.
When patches are released we update our own systems first. If there are no regressions we update our production servers. Security patches are typically approved within hours if there are no immediate regressions. If there are we investigate the scale and make a judgement as to the impact of the security vulnerability versus the scale of the patch regression. This typically happens on the day of release.
Protective monitoring type
Supplier-defined controls
Protective monitoring approach
Intrusion detection software runs on all servers to monitor for suspicious activity. Anti-virus and anti-malware scans run regularly as well. On detection of a compromise resolution is the priority and all relevant staff are re-tasked to the job of resolution. Our preferred solution would be to restore from clean backups where possible onto a clean virtual machine, which leaves the original virtual machine free for forensics (In simulations this would take at most an hour).
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
The preferred method by which users can report events is through their assigned support contact who will provide up to date incident reports throughout the resolution process.
The staff have a number of predefined processes mostly designed to get the customer back up and running as quick as possible whilst allowing root cause analysis to be performed at a slower pace with no affect on the customer.
