3 Introduction Cloud computing has brought about a step change in the economics and sustainability of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The UK Government has recognised this and has therefore committed to make central government savings by encouraging a major shift to Cloud computing commodity services. As you are probably aware, it has introduced a Public Cloud First Policy mandate to strengthen and accelerate the government-wide adoption of Cloud computing services. Known as the G-Cloud, the initiative focuses on cloud computing s capability for economic growth, capitalising on Cloud cost savings and flexibility to create a more efficient, accessible means of delivering public sector services. The G-Cloud will deliver fundamental changes in the way the public sector procures and operates ICT and is designed to help public sector organisations: Achieve large, cross government economies of scale Deliver ICT systems that are flexible and responsive to demand in order to support government policies and strategies Take advantage of new technologies in order to deliver faster business benefits and reduce cost Meet environmental and sustainability targets Allow government to procure in a way that encourages a dynamic and responsive supplier marketplace and supports emerging suppliers. Central government departments are now mandated to consider public Cloud first in any IT procurement and the wider public sector is strongly recommended to take the same approach. In practice, this means that when considering procurement of new or existing services, public organisations must have considered and fully evaluated potential Cloud solutions before they consider any other option. Central government departments have a target to achieve 50% of new IT spend on Cloud and 25% use of SMEs by value, by These figures effectively illustrate that the UK Government has acknowledged the potential benefits of enabling the public sector to engage directly with small, diverse and innovative companies and bring a range of agile new solutions to address existing and new issues. This move away from predominantly large suppliers to SMEs providing services on a pay-asyou-go basis is changing the ICT procurement landscape for public sector organisations. Rather than typically relying on several large suppliers, G-Cloud now opens the way for smaller firms to provide a range of Cloud-based ICT services to government organisations. Subsequently, public sector agencies will no longer need to negotiate complex and expensive contracts with large IT vendors. Opening the SME market to the government agencies is a groundbreaking prospect for the Public Sector. For the first time, government agencies will be able to take advantage of the agility of SMEs knowing that there is no need to go through a lengthy accreditation and approval process as each SME has been vetted prior to joining the G-Cloud. 3 Phone: Fax: info@

4 However, the movement away from large players to SMEs represents a whole new ball game a ball game which many government organisations will not have played before. Teamwork needs to be established, trust needs to be built and a process of unlearning and relearning needs to happen between government and SMEs to make the relationship and services truly work. What is G-Cloud? Government Cloud Computing, called G-Cloud, is a UK Government programme to encourage the adoption of Cloud services across the whole of the public sector. It aims to simplify how public sector agencies buy and deliver services by creating a marketplace of pay-as-you-go commodity services that can be easily scaled up or down, based on the changing needs of a business and its users. At the time of writing, the third G-Cloud procurement framework, G-Cloud iii, has just been launched. G-Cloud iii is the only framework dedicated to public sector Cloud services, and with approximately 75% of suppliers categorised as SMEs, it is designed to be a quick and easy route for public sector organisations to buy what they want, when they need it. The G-Cloud framework includes: CloudStore - launched in February 2012, CloudStore is the online marketplace for the whole of the UK public sector to buy Cloud computing commodity and support services. It lists the details of all of the G-Cloud suppliers and their Cloud service models including public, private and hybrid, with offerings under four lots: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS); Platform as a Service (PaaS); Software as a Service (SaaS) and Specialist Cloud Services (SCS). Today, CloudStore offers more than 800 suppliers and more than 7,000 services. All the services listed on the store are part of the G-Cloud framework so are immediately available for the public sector to procure and use by following the guidance on the G-Cloud website. Government agencies may purchase cloud services from CloudStore on a pay-as-you-go or yearly contract basis. G-Cloud Authority - oversees and enforces standards and certifications for commodity services. It also provides support for the public sector and resolves any cross-organisational issues. Data centre consolidation - an ongoing effort to close unused or underused data centres across UK Government agencies to reach an optimal number of data centres. This part of the G-Cloud initiative seeks to move government services to common Cloud architecture, constructed of public Cloud, private Cloud and hybrid Cloud environments. The UK Government states that a public sector organisation s first port of call for its IT needs should always be the CloudStore. 4 Phone: Fax: info@

5 Types of accreditation: Business Impact Levels Working with public sector systems can be a new concept for some companies, and often misunderstood by many more. When working with government systems and ultimately public sector information, there is always a need to make sure that information stored in them is appropriately protected. This is central to the effective and safe management of public sector data. A comprehensive understanding of its workings is an essential prerequisite for any company wishing to take advantage of the G-Cloud opportunity, to get its services accredited and available on the G-Cloud CloudStore and ultimately sell direct to UK Government agencies. Any Government information held, which could range from local council information available to the public, to patient records, right up to highly secret national security information, undergoes a Technical Risk Assessment. This assessment evaluates whether the IT system satisfies the technical and security protocols required for the adequate protection of the information to be held or processed by it, and ultimately to identify which level of protection is required.these protection levels are currently grouped into six Business Impact Levels (BIL), which are often written simply as IL. Managed under the CESG Government Framework, the Business Impact Levels classification protects the vital interests of the UK by providing a common set of standards that lead to a consistent approach to assessment and adoption of services, as well as providing policy and assistance on the security of public sector communications and electronic data. The Business Impact Levels are currently defined as: IL0 Unclassified (no impact) IL2 Protected IL3 Restricted IL4 Confidential IL5 Secret IL6 Top Secret (severe impact). Business Impact Level classification and associated government accreditations are not merely confined to the IT systems and services being supplied or the data centre services on which they reside. Every aspect of the life of the information asset has to be considered and must also include the users, their locations, the endpoint devices via which they access information and the communication channels used to access and transfer these assets between systems and partners. It also covers any individuals with privileged access to the systems including systems administrators, third party application providers and support organisations such as The Bunker. Key considerations when selecting your colocation provider from the CloudStore will be the selection of a Cloud hosting solution to manage your IT systems who has already achieved IL3/IL4 accreditation at their facilities as Infrastructure as a Service platform (Lot 1)* with experience of working in partnership with a number of clients who provide services directly at IL restricted levels. * The G-Cloud framework covers infrastructure, platform, software and specialist Cloud services, which are arranged into four Lots: Lot 1: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Lot 2: Platforms as a Service (PaaS) Lot 3: Software as a Service (SaaS) Lot 4: Specialist Cloud Services 5 Phone: Fax: info@

6 Who will be using G-Cloud? In line with Government policy, where a public sector organisation s first port of call for its IT needs should be the CloudStore, all UK public sector organisations will have access to purchase services via the CloudStore, including: Here at The Bunker, we have teams of experienced and knowledgeable consultants, solution architects and project managers who can ensur that at every stage you are secure in the knowledge that you are making the right decisions for your business. Central government departments and agencies The Armed Forces National Health Service Law enforcement and other blue light services Local authorities UK s Critical National Infrastructure, including power and water. In terms of SMEs using the G-Cloud, at the time of writing, there are currently 800 SMEs and 7,000 services available on the CloudStore, who are allowed to offer services such as hosting, storage, , document management systems, collaboration tools and virtual desktops as well as other Cloud services including accessibility tools, anti-spam and captcha, gamification and learning management. We understand that the move to Cloud Computing as mandated by the UK government can be daunting for Public Sector organisations. We also appreciate that the CloudStore is a minefield of service providers and presents a potentially challenging prospect for any business, public or private sector, to wade through the myriad of companies, in order to select the one most appropriate for your operations. The barriers to G-Cloud In general, G-Cloud solutions can be deployed through one of four standard Cloud service models: private; public; hybrid and community. Standard Cloud models: Private Cloud : Infrastructure is managed and operated solely for an organisation Public Cloud: Infrastructure is owned by a Cloud provider and accessible to the general public or a large industry group Community Cloud: Infrastructure is shared by several organisations. However, the government s chosen direction is to use public and community Clouds, which will rely on multi-tenancy to reduce costs. However, this shared infrastructure, multi-tenancy option will naturally raise major security concerns, unless the required security levels have been accounted for within the service providers Cloud architecture. 6 Phone: Fax: info@

7 Any business signed up to provide services to G-Cloud or in fact any government, police, emergency service must guarantee that: All IT equipment is operated at IL standards All IT equipment is located in a IL rated facility An IL applicable Risk Management & Accreditation Document set (RMADS) is completed All services are signed off by a CESG Listed Advisor Scheme (CLAS) auditor as certified. These requirements are set out by the Cabinet Office s Security Policy Framework (SPF), with guidance on satisfying them supplied by CESG, the national technical authority for Information Assurance. They are in place for a very simple reason: the G-Cloud procurement framework is intended to provide public sector organisations with a catalogue of accredited suppliers offering certified and complete solutions, negating the need for any additional effort or spend, and in turn substantially reduce the time and costs involved in making a purchase. G-Cloud Colocation services We have already highlighted that the UK Government s chosen direction for G-Cloud is to use public and community Clouds, which will rely on multi-tenancy, Colocation and shared infrastructure services, in order to reduce costs. However, this G-Cloud approach will naturally raise major security concerns, unless the required security levels have been accounted for within the service providers cloud architecture. And to secure public sector business in the G-Cloud, Colocation providers must be able to offer reliable Colocation with 100% availability at a secure, IL certified data centre facility. Working with The Bunker, as the UK s most secure Colocation provider, government agencies can rest assured we provide of the above combined with 24/7/365 support with expert on-site technical and security staff. Reasons to Colocate with The Bunker 1. Our data centres are housed in ex-military nuclear bunkers to provide the ultimate in physical security. 2. Our data centres have been independently CLAS assessed to provide Colocation data centre services to clients hosting HMG Protectively Marked information assets up to RESTRICTED (IL3) for confidentiality and integrity and up to IL4 for availability. 3. Our facilities are ISO accredited. 4. We are the only UK provider to offer true, 12-point, PCI DSS compliance. 5. Move the Cloud swiftly, safely and securely. 6. We re based within easy reach of London but away from the power shortages, natural disaster or terrorism risks ever present in central London. 7. Housing IT equipment in an Ultra Secure off-site environment makes your business less vulnerable to physical loss or damage to critical business systems. 8. Give your business ultra availability whilst you focus on your core operations. 9. Our data centres are carrier neutral and are staffed 24/7/365 by skilled network, technical and security experts. 7 Phone: Fax: info@

8 We believe having a multi-pronged approach to security that covers physical, digital and human factors is essential if any one of the elements is missing, security is compromised. To this, we ve added The Bunker Protocol, ingraining security into our culture. It includes: Data floor access policies Staff background checking An ITIL v3 based service desk The highest standards of data security designed by world renowned experts, we call it The Bunker Protocol. In essence, Colocating with The Bunker can save costs, improve security, mitigate risk, improve reliability whilst you enjoy better connectivity, but most importantly meet all the strict Government regulations and helps you embrace Cloud computing simply and securely. Why Ultra Secure G Cloud? Here at The Bunker, we have always regarded security as the number one consideration and G-Cloud is no different. That is why we have very carefully examined all the technologies available and the processes and procedures necessary to remain Ultra Secure, to ensure that you can safely benefit from the rewards that cloud services can offer. Our experienced and knowledgeable teams of consultants, solution architects and project managers will walk you through your journey ensuring that at every stage you are secure in the knowledge that you are making the right decisions for your business. Cloud Computing: the checklist The model for Cloud computing is still maturing, which is why our experts will always discuss your needs and advise on the most appropriate way for you to get the best balance of business advantage and data security. As a major G-Cloud computing partner, we recommend you consider the following security issues: Privileged user access: Sensitive data processed outside the enterprise brings with it an inherent level of risk, because outsourced service providers are not all subject to the same access security controls that internal IT departments are. We believe it is important to always understand who manages your data, who has access to your data and how your data is protected. Regulatory compliance: Clients are ultimately responsible for the security and integrity of their own data, even when it is held by a service provider. Traditional service providers are subjected to external audits, security certifications and government accreditations. Data location: If you use a public Cloud, you may be unaware exactly where your data is hosted. In fact, you might not even know what country it will be stored in and what local privacy regulations apply. You should always ask your potential G-Cloud provider to commit to storing and processing data in specific jurisdictions and to make a contractual commitment to obey local privacy requirements on behalf of their clients. With The Bunker, all your data stays in the UK. You always know where it is and which laws apply. Data segregation: Data in a public Cloud, as the route proposed by G-Cloud, is typically stored in a totally shared environment alongside data from other customers. You may be sharing firewalls, storage and processing leaving yourself exposed to 8 Phone: Fax: info@

9 risks. As a G-Cloud provider, we employ segregation policies for all customers in a way that reduces risk to the low levels as low of a private Cloud. With us, no server contention disrupts your quality of service. You have a dedicated blade server, backed by a meaningful SLA and 24/7/365 support, monitoring and alerts. Best practice summary: Know where your data will reside and how it is protected Check on adherence to data protection laws in the relevant jurisdictions Ask prospective suppliers about their physical security and staff vetting controls Check which third parties the supplier deals with and whether they can access your data Ask about exception monitoring systems and processes Check the supplier provides a 24/7/365 ITIL based support and service desk Ask about service level availability guarantees and penalties Check whether the Cloud provider will accommodate your own security policies Seek an independent security audit Talk only to potential G-Cloud providers with recognised security certifications. The Bunker s Ultra Secure Cloud services can help you realise all of the benefits of the G-Cloud without the risk. You can rest assured in the knowledge that your applications are being hosted in an Ultra Secure environment that makes them ultra available.
