Our security framework is designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer data. 

Our Security Framework

Our comprehensive information security programme is designed around the core pillars of the ISO/IEC 27001 framework to ensure complete data protection and operational resilience:

01 Governance & risk management
We conduct continuous risk assessments and maintain active executive oversight to proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats.
02 Identity & access management
We enforce strict Least-Privilege access controls, centralised Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across all internal systems.
03 Secure software development
Security is embedded directly into our development lifecycle (SDLC), utilising automated code analysis, peer reviews, and OWASP top-10 threat modelling.
04 Threat intelligence & hunting
We ingest global Cyber Threat Intelligence to track active adversary tactics, combining it with proactive threat hunting across our network logs to uncover hidden or emerging risks before they manifest.
05 Vulnerability & continuous monitoring
Our security team utilises real-time threat detection, automated dependency scanning, and centralised logging to maintain 24/7 visibility over our cloud environment.
06 Independent security testing
We complement internal security scans by engaging certified, independent third-party firms to conduct comprehensive annual penetration testing.
07 Incident response
We maintain a formal, thoroughly tested Incident Response Plan to ensure rapid containment, mitigation, and transparent reporting in the event of an anomaly.
08 Security awareness training
Every employee undergoes mandatory security onboarding and continuous, ongoing training to maintain a strong culture of privacy and risk awareness.

Compliance & Certifications: Independently Verified Security

Meshed has achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification, demonstrating that our Information Security Management System aligns with internationally recognised best practices for managing information security risks.

Security Operations & Continuous Assurance

Security is an active, ongoing mandate rather than a static project. We continually assess, monitor, and enhance our infrastructure to maintain a highly resilient cloud platform.

Vulnerability Management 

Automated scanning helps identify vulnerabilities, which are assessed, prioritised and remediated based on risk.

icon21.png

Continuous Security Reviews

Security controls, policies and operational processes are regularly reviewed and enhanced to address evolving threats and industry best practices.

Data Protection

Data is encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest using AES-256 encryption.

smart workflows.png

Access Control

Least-privilege principles and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) restrict access to authorised personnel.

Audit & Change Management

Security events and administrative activities are logged, while changes undergo peer review and testing before production release.

Business Continuity

Automated backups, recovery procedures and documented continuity plans help protect customer data and maintain service resilience.

Platform Reliability

Designed for Business Continuity

Educational institutions depend on reliable access to mission-critical systems throughout the academic year. Our operational practices are engineered to safeguard platform stability, manage operational risk, and ensure continuity of service.

Maintain Platform Resilience

We design our core systems to protect data integrity and maintain operational stability. By incorporating data replication and redundant recovery layers, we protect your institutional records against localised hardware or system failures.

Support Business Continuity

We maintain a strict backup regime featuring automated, regular backups replicated across multiple isolated availability zones. For maximum security, these backups are securely stored within an independent, logically air-gapped cloud environment, ensuring our recovery data remains protected against cross-account security incidents.

Manage Operational Risk

Our technical team utilises continuous monitoring and alerting systems to track platform health, resource utilisation, and system performance. This active oversight allows us to maintain visibility and address capacity or performance anomalies early.

Respond Effectively to Incidents

We maintain a formally documented Incident Management Policy with defined escalation pathways. In the event of an operational anomaly, our technical team is alerted to rapidly isolate the issue, restore service, and provide transparent communication to our clients.

Continuously Improve Platform Reliability

Every operational review and system update is focused on refining our infrastructure. By analysing performance trends and incident post-mortems, we continuously adapt our systems to deliver a stable, reliable platform that evolves alongside your institutional needs.
