Delivery model (how administration is performed)
This summary explains how Virtus Group performs administration and delivery activities inside a client’s ICT environment in a secure, auditable way.
Work is performed using client‑approved devices, accounts, and credentials (e.g., client user accounts or delegated admin roles), not shared generic credentials.
Where permitted, we use named accounts for each resource with role-based access and MFA enforced.
Administrative activity is logged and traceable to an individual.
Access principles
Least privilege: access granted only to what is required for the task and revoked when no longer needed.
Time‑boxed elevation: privileged roles are used only for the duration of approved work (where platform supports).
Separation of duties: critical changes require peer review or dual approval where agreed.
Secure remote access: client-approved VPN/conditional access; no direct inbound exposure required.
Privileged access and break‑glass controls
Break‑glass accounts are limited, monitored, and stored securely (vaulted).
Use of break‑glass access is recorded with a reason, ticket/change reference, and post‑use review.
Credential rotation follows incidents, offboarding, and periodic hygiene routines.
Tooling, evidence, and handover
Changes are executed via documented runbooks and change control (ticket/CR, approval, rollback plan).
Evidence is captured for material changes (screenshots, exports, logs) and provided to the client on request.
At close-out, we deliver a knowledge transfer bundle: runbooks, access matrix, and handover notes.
Offboarding and data handling
Access removal: accounts disabled/removed promptly when a resource leaves or an engagement ends.
Client data is returned or securely destroyed per contract and retention requirements.
Devices used for client work follow sanitisation and disposal procedures at end-of-life.
