What happens if the director is unavailable?
Continuity is designed in. Every platform documents itsel in oor knowledge base, every release is biggit and recordit by continuous integration, credentials are haudit in Haven, and access is forby available tae a person haudin a power of attorney if the director canna work. Oor Business Continuity Policy sets this oot, and the team grows wi oor work.

Customer deployments are set per agreement and can be entirely in the Unitit Kinrick, or on the customer’s ain servers. The sub-processors are listed on the data-processing page.
