Critical and High severity vulnerabilities are remediated with the highest level of urgency by the BlastIQ engineering team. Security Audit Reports are not provided to customers for security reasons.

Security Breach Notification

As required by law, Orica will notify customers and users in a timely manner of a Notifiable Data Breach. In addition, Orica will notify customers in a timely manner if any of their data in BlastIQ is the subject of a Data Breach.

Data stored in BlastIQ is primarily located in Azure centres in Singapore. For data security information relating to infrastructure platforms, please refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/overview/security/

Data Backup

Automatic backups are taken on a minimum of a daily basis for all datastores, critical transactional systems have much shorter backup windows. 

System Availability

BlastIQ Systems are hosted as distributed cloud services with zero downtime upgrades for most deployments. Historical availability and planned Maintenance or Incidents impacting availability of the BlastIQ system components are published at https://status.blastiq.com, and customers can subscribe to receive notifications of planned maintenance outages and incidents affecting availability.

Change Management

BlastIQ is offered as a multi-tenanted Software as a Service offering. Customers are not consulted for approval of changes, however, Public APIs are versioned for breaking changes and customers have time of concurrent versions operating to facilitate upgrades.

Public notifications of application updates can be subscribed to via https://status.blastiq.com with release notes published for end-user applications on the BlastIQ Support Centre https://support.blastiq.com/release-notes

The BlastIQ system changes are all tested in Development and Test environments prior to release, these environments contain mock data for security reasons (A Customer’s data will not be removed from the Production Environment).

All code changes are peer-reviewed, then tested in development and test environments using automated test suites and manual testing prior to release to the production environment.

Secure Application Development

The BlastIQ Engineering team practices secure application development in accordance with a documented Secure Application Development standard.

All code changes are peer-reviewed and merged using source control systems with audit records and history of changes.
