Onboarding and offboarding

Getting started
Data restoration and migration are not part of this service by default. Both of these options can be purchased separately. Atkins is able to migrate existing client data into a new CIRRUSmaps™ deployment. The price of this service is dependent upon the amount and variety of legacy data to be migrated and will be determined during a clarification exercise prior to the commissioning of any work.
Service documentation
Yes
Documentation formats
HTML
End-of-contract data extraction
A standard database backup of the data will be made available to the client upon termination of the service.
End-of-contract process
Once the contract has ended we will perform a full database backup of the “data” schema of the CIRRUSmaps™ database. The database backup is provided as a PostgreSQL dump file using the pg_dump tool. The buyer can then take this database backup file and use it to restore the data to an alternative environment of their choosing. In addition to the PostgreSQL data dump we shall also provide the Styled Layer Descriptor (SLD) files used in GeoServer to provide styling for the exported data. The buyer can then use these files to provide the styling for the exported data provided the new environment they are using supports the use of SLD files. If required we can also provide the data in other standard GIS formats, this will be an additional cost option for the buyer to choose at contract end. The cost will be determined by the export format required and the volume of data to be exported.

Scaling

Independence of resources
We use a Private Cloud platform that has been scaled by our service provider to support a very large customer base. Each on-boarded customer is allocated virtual servers for the service to run on, these virtual servers have an allocation of resources dedicated to them and so users are not impacted by the demands of other users.

Analytics

• Esri File Geodatabase
• Esri Shapefile
• MapInfo TAB file
• Autodesk DWG

Other protection within supplier network
Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database with security enabled, the database holds the information for the service and is not accessible from other systems. Access controls in place prevent users from accessing the database. Access to the data by Atkins staff is strictly controlled. Staff from our service provider only have access to servers in order to provide support and maintenance, they do not have access to the information held within the databases. Physical access is tightly controlled within the data centre, no member of staff has access without appropriate permissions, once logged on they cannot access the databases.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Our service provides 99% uptime during the agreed hours of service.
Approach to resilience
We utilise a Private Cloud environment built using the OnApp Cloud Management platform. It provides an environment that is: - Scalable through auto-scaling (up and out) - Highly available through automatic failover and full active-active High Availability The system is deployed across a multi-node environment ensuring that node failures do not bring the system down, the cloud management platform continually balances load across nodes and moves running services across nodes when issues are detected.
Outage reporting
Real-time server monitoring provides alerts to our Cloud providers when services have failed, these outages are then reported to our clients through the Technical Support helpdesk.

Identity and authentication

User authentication needed
No
Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
Users with administrative access are assigned an “Administrators” role. Only those users belonging to the “Administrators” role can access management interfaces.

Information security policies and processes
Atkins Aerospace, Defence, Security and Technology (ADS&T) holds ISO 27001 and all our UK businesses are independently certified as achieving the ISO 9001:2008 quality management standard. Atkins follows a Business Management System (BMS) approach that brings together all of our business processes in one place. The BMS assures our clients through the certification of ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001, and forms a key part of the Atkins Governance Framework, which also includes our Group Policy Statements and Code of Conduct. BMS is key part of our governance process, translating the Group controls into a set of core processes that are applicable across the business.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Supplier-defined controls
Configuration and change management approach
Configuration control is performed using source code management and version numbering. Our change management process is invoked whenever a change to the system is required. A change management plan is created, including identification of risks and associated mitigation. Software changes are managed in accordance with TickITplus accredited quality framework and taken through rigorous testing cycles. Before installing in the live environment, a rollback plan is formulated and any required downtime agreed. The changes are installed in live environment and checks performed to ascertain the change was successful. Where problems arise the rollback plan is initiated restoring system to baseline state.
Vulnerability management type

Protective monitoring approach
Atkins shall provide:
• 24 / 7 / 365 monitoring of server availability and performance with a restart option should the server fail out of hours
• Threshold monitoring to ensure potential problems are detected and addressed before they become critical
• Failover at any time of the day or night in the event of complete server failure
• Secure off site data backup
• Disaster Recovery procedures and management Business hours support services for non-critical incidents.
Incident management type
Supplier-defined controls
Incident management approach
Service failure priority types:
Priority 1, Critical: The problem is stopping all work on the system.
Priority 2, Major: The problem is preventing the operation of a major sub-system or a group of users.
Priority 3, Functional failure: The problem is affecting a particular function for a significant/high number of users.
Priority 4, Intermittent failure: The problem is affecting a particular function for a minority number of users. Is intermittent and impact to operation is low.
Priority 5, Minor: Minor issue. Very low impact to users or the problem is cosmetic.

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Atkins is committed to fighting climate change as evidenced through becoming carbon neutral in 2021 as we drive our carbon emissions down to our net zero target by 2030. We have signed up to science based targets to reduce our own emissions through the global Race to Zero initiative.
Our commitment does not stop here; we are supporting our clients to meet their environmental reduction targets too. That is why we are upskilling our staff to understand the environmental impact of decisions, and to use these as considerations throughout the delivery lifecycle to provide better solutions for our clients. We will work hand in glove with our clients, helping provide awareness of the climate impact of the decisions that could be made such as circular economy opportunities.
The CIRRUS suite of tools are cloud hosted to minimise their environmental impact. Accurate information systems also reduce the need for site visits.
Atkins is also committed to creating a healthy workplace and we do this through our board-sponsored Health and Wellbeing Steering Committee. We’ve taken a data-led approach to developing our health and wellbeing framework which is focused around physical, mental and financial wellbeing. Our industry-leading plans encompass a diverse range of initiatives and campaigns, such as mental health first aiders and volunteering days.
