1. Policy Statement

Maintel is a leading communications services company and this policy applies to
all Maintel employees and any other party or individual who processes data and
personal data on Mantel’s behalf and/or the use of www.maintel.co.uk (“Our
Site”), the Maintel Integrated Management System (IMS) and all of the company
locations and applicable work sites.

Maintel consider Information Security aspects as a top priority for customer
confidence, legal, regulatory and contractual compliance and the protection of
the Maintel brand. We understand that your privacy is important to you and that
you care about how your personal data is used and shared. Maintel respect and
value the privacy of everyone and where required in its ordinary course of
business, Maintel must often necessarily control and process information about
data subjects, i.e. Prospects, Customers, Suppliers and Employees. When handling
such information, Maintel or any party that controls or processes personal data
on Mantel’s behalf, must comply with all current regulations and relevant
contractual obligations. The relevant regulation for this policy is The General
Data Protection Regulation (EU 2016/679) “GDPR”. Accordingly, Maintel commits to
ensuring all information is handled in a secure manner whilst maintaining the
IMS to meet regulatory requirements and elected certifications and
accreditations.

Our Site may contain links to other websites, and wherever that occurs, it is
important to note that Maintel will have no control over how your data is
collected, stored, or used by such websites. Maintel advise you to check the
privacy policies of any such websites before providing data to them.

Maintel take compliance with this policy very seriously. The importance of this
policy means that internal failure to comply with any requirement may lead to
disciplinary action under our procedures which may result in dismissal.

Please read this Data Protection and Information Security Policy carefully and
ensure that you understand it. Your acceptance of this policy is deemed to occur
upon first use of Our Site, entering pre-contract negotiations and contracted
procurement of products and/or services.

Maintel will:

 * Ensure that Maintel management, employees and any other individuals acting on
   behalf of Maintel will comply with the requirements of the Data Protection
   and Information Security Policy and that confidentiality of information will
   be maintained to protect both Maintel and its Customers physical and
   electronic information assets from all threats, both internal and external,
   deliberate or accidental, including those related to data subjects personal
   data and card holder data throughout the organisation.
 * Protection of information is set out in terms of;
   * Confidentiality: ensuring only persons who are authorised have access to
     information.
   * Integrity: ensuring the purity, accuracy, and completeness of information.
   * Availability: ensuring information, associated assets, and systems can be
     accessed when required by authorised persons.
   * Regulatory: regarding regulations, laws, and codes of practice in each
     country where it operates as a minimum standard in its Information security
     management standard.

 * Minimise the risk of damage to company assets, information, reputation,
   hardware, software, or data.

 * Ensure that Maintel people and computer systems do not infringe any
   copyright, licensing, or laws.

 * Set out clearly the company’s policies relating to all aspects of the
   management of information, personal data, hardware, firmware, software and
   prevention and detection of malware.

 * Define a systematic approach to risk assessment by identifying a method that
   is suited to the Maintel Integrated Management System (IMS), the identified
   business information security, legal and regulatory requirements and setting
   policy and objectives for the IMS to reduce risks to acceptable levels.

 * Maintain Business continuity plans and test them as appropriate (as far as
   practicable)

 * Provide Appropriate training for all employees

 * Maintain the IMS by a schedule of Internal audits carried out by competent
   auditors

 * A commitment to continual improvement of the information security management
   system

 

The Head of Information Security has direct responsibility for maintaining the

All managers are directly responsible for implementing the Data Protection and
Information Security Policy within their business areas, and for adherence by
their staff.

It is the responsibility of each member of staff to adhere to the Data

The overall responsibility for ensuring that the Policy is implemented,
developed, and reviewed effectively rests with the Chief Executive Officer. This
responsibility will be delegated throughout the management structure reflecting
our continued commitment to Information Security at all levels throughout
Maintel.

This statement represents our general position on data Protection and
Information Security issues, and the policies and practices we will apply in
conducting our business.

2. Business Continuity

The purpose of the Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery is to ensure that all
critical Company business activities can be kept at normal or near-normal
performance following an incident that has the potential to disrupt business
operations. All Maintel offices are included within the scope of this policy;

The following areas are covered within the BCP;

 * Building Inaccessibility
 * Civil Unrest – Act of terrorism
 * Civil Unrest – Chemical attack
 * Civil Unrest – Public Disorder
 * Communications Outage
 * Fire Event
 * Flood or Water Event
 * Industrial Espionage
 * Natural Disaster
 * Pandemic / Epidemic
 * Power Outage
 * Severe Weather disruption
 * System Outage from a Cyber Attack

 

Areas covered by the BCP are reviewed, at a minimum, annually and at the time of
an event and adjusted, as necessary.

It is our Policy to ensure that:

 * Provision of products and services is maintained as near to normal as
   possible
 * We identify through appropriate risk assessment, the events that may cause an
   event and mitigate those risks as far as possible
 * An incident timeline is minimised during any disaster event and operations
   return to as near normal as possible in the shortest time frame.
 * All teams are aware of how to identify, report and safely work during a
   disaster event
 * Regulatory and legislative requirements are met
 * Appropriate communication and training will be provided for all employees
 * Our BC/DR is maintained by a schedule of tests and Internal audits

 

Each department is responsible for preparing and maintaining current and
comprehensive business continuity plans (BCP) for its operations. Certain
departments, such as Systems/IT, are also responsible for disaster recovery
plans (DRP) to ensure that any damage or disruptions to critical assets can be
quickly minimised and that these assets can be restored to normal or near-normal
operation in a minimum time frame.

When a plan is completed, approved, and implemented, each plan will include
procedures and support arrangements which ensure on-time availability and
delivery of customer products and services. The BC/DR plans are certified
annually through external audit.

Maintel recognises the importance of an active and fully supported BC/DR program
to ensure the safety, health and continued availability of its employees and the
production and delivery of services for customers.

To drive continual improvement within the BC/DR, Maintel set objectives on an
annual basis as part of the Management Review Process; these objectives ensure
the system is appropriately monitored and measured.

All objectives are communicated to staff and include key responsibilities,
timescales, and appropriate measures of success.

use of your data for direct marketing purposes (including the ability to opt-out

provided in emails and at the point of providing your details).

You may also wish to sign up to one or more of the preference services operating
in the UK: The Telephone Preference Service (“the TPS”), the Corporate Telephone

These may help to prevent you receiving unsolicited marketing. Please note,
however, that these services will not prevent you from receiving marketing
communications that you have consented to receiving.

section 6.

5. Risk Management

The purpose of this policy is to describe Maintel risk management framework and
how risks will be identified, assessed, monitored, and reported within the
business at the corporate level.

Risk management is a process which aims to help businesses understand, evaluate
and take action on all  their  risks  with  a  view  to  increasing  the 
probability  of achieving their objectives and  reducing  the likelihood of
failure.  Risk management gives comfort to stakeholders that the business is
being effectively managed and helps the business confirm its compliance with
corporate governance requirements.

It is our policy to;

 * identify risks in relation to the achievement of our objectives
 * assess their relative likelihood and impact
 * respond to the risks identified, considering our assessment
 * review and report on risks to ensure that Maintel risk profile is up to date,
