All audit activities involving checks on operational systems within Mallon Technology are carefully planned and agreed to minimise the risk of disruption to business processes. All internal audits are performed manually. All Mallon Technology managers are aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that all security procedures within their area of responsibility are undertaken correctly to achieve compliance with Company security policies and standards. If any non-compliance or non-conformance is identified, managers will identify the cause, evaluate the need for actions to ensure that non-compliance's do not recur, determine and implement appropriate corrective/preventive action and the review the action taken. Further to this, the results of internal quality audits are evaluated and reviewed on a monthly basis at the Company Senior Management Team meeting. A companywide non-conformance log is also completed by all Mallon Technology personnel to identify and highlight any trends that might develop. If so, these are analysed and if possible, mitigated against. |
Operational security
| Configuration and change management standard | Supplier-defined controls |
| Configuration and change management approach | Changes are logged and managed with JIRA our project management tool. A change control board meets weekly to asses and schedule approved change requests. The change control board will assess potential security impacts as part of this process. |
| Vulnerability management type | Supplier-defined controls |
| Vulnerability management approach | We monitor the industry for potential threats and we take appropriate measures to mitigate the risks. We ensure all operating system security patches are installed regularly. We use a number of online software resources to generate vulnerability reports against our software. |
| Protective monitoring type | Supplier-defined controls |
| Protective monitoring approach | Our service provider monitors and protects against DDOS attacks and will inform us immediately when such attack occurs. We work with our service provider to identify any compromises and will inform clients of any potential breaches. |
| Incident management type | Supplier-defined controls |
| Incident management approach | Users can report incidents via telephone, email or via our online helpdesk. A predefined process for major incidents involves switching on our failover servers and redirecting all traffic to the failover. Our backup strategy already ensures that failover is relatively up to date with current data. |
