    Availability

    Availability means all functions of the Powered by Jumbo Platform are available to Client users in a live production environment as per the Platform Capabilities.

    The system is available for customer transactions on average 99.9% of this which means there is a maximum of 60 minutes non-scheduled downtime in a month. This is subject to any circumstances beyond our control, which may affect this timeframe.

    Scheduled Maintenance & Downtime

    Our development systems and processes are built around the Agile approach, which provides that frequent small releases to the Powered by Jumbo platform occur on a daily basis. This means that:

    • Releases in nearly all instances only affect one component of the larger Powered by Jumbo platform.
    • Releases typically occur between the core hours of 7 am – 5 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST), Monday to Friday;
    • Application releases last between 0 (no downtime) and 5 minutes, with an average downtime of fewer than 30 seconds.
    • More significant or risky changes that require extended downtime may be done out of these hours.

    Response Time

    The speed with which the application will respond to a mouse click or page change is = < 1s, with the current average around 250ms to be maintained +/- 20%.

    In the case of Routine requests, Response Time is the time between that request and the system providing a response.

    Incidents

    Incidents mean a condition that has an adverse impact on the operation or performance of the Powered by Jumbo platform capabilities, as described in Platform Capabilities.

    Priority is made up of two factors:

    Urgency – how quickly the business needs a resolution

    Impact – the degree or amount of harm to the business

    Urgency is determined by the client and Jumbo, but Impact is always determined by Jumbo.

    Urgency

    Level Meaning
    Critical The damage caused by the Incident increases rapidly. Work that cannot be completed by staff is highly time-sensitive.
    High The damage caused by the Incident increases considerably over time. A minor incident can be prevented from becoming a major Incident by acting immediately.
    Low The damage caused by the incident is unlikely to reoccur or increase over time.
    Medium The damage caused by the Incident only marginally increases over time. Work that cannot be completed by staff is not time-sensitive.

    Impact

    Level Meaning
    Critical A core business service is impacted in a significant way. All customers are affected and/or acutely disadvantaged in some way. The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be high.
    High A large number of staff are affected and/or not able to do their job. A large number of customers are affected and/or acutely disadvantaged in some way. The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be moderate.
    Medium A moderate number of staff are affected and/or not able to do their job properly. A moderate number of customers are affected and/or inconvenienced in some way. The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be minimal.
    Low A minimal number of staff are affected and/or able to deliver an acceptable service but this requires extra effort. A minimal number of customers are affected and/or inconvenienced but not in a significant way. The damage to the reputation of the business is likely to be unaffected.

    Determining Priority

    Low   P3 P4 P5
    Medium   P3 P3 P4

    Examples Of Incidents

    Priority
    Level
    Definitions and Examples
    P1 • Site completely down or unresponsive
    • Account registration or Login
    • Add to cart
    • Checkout
    • Tickets not purchased with provider
    • All customers are unable to complete core sales processes
    • All customers are unable to receive emails
    • Data breach ≥ 1000 affected individuals
    P2 • Unable to use a specific high-volume payment method during the sales process
    • Ticket scoring unavailable for all users
    • End of Draw unable to be completed
    • Non-core system unavailable during critical window
    • Unable to create new draws
    • Unable to create new draws (i.e charity content)
    • Data breach (> 1 but < 1000 affected individuals)
    P3 • Secondary or non-core business process unable to be completed
    • Core business process unable to be completed due to inability to use existing data tooling
    • P1 or P2 items that have an acceptable workaround
    P4 • Moderately urgent items affecting individual customers
    • Non-urgent data fixes for a group of customers
    • Data breach (1 affected individual)
    P5 • Request for information
    • Non-urgent updates to a single customer record

    Timeframes For Rectifying Incidents

    Priority Level Acknowledgement Time Targets Update Frequency
    P1 30 mins 2 hrs Every 30 mins
    P2 1 hr 4 hrs Every 3 hrs
    P3 4 hrs 3 days Daily
    P4 & P5 24 hrs 3 weeks Weekly

    Acknowledgment Time means the time between the Client reporting a defect to us and us providing a response/notice which acknowledges the defect and providing the first Defect Update.

    Targets means the target timeframe to resolve the defect or have a suitable workaround in place.

    Defect Update means written notice from us to the Client during the Time to Fix including:

    1. An estimate of when a Workaround (if available) will be provided;
    2. An estimate of when a Fix will be provided;
    3. Any actions which can be performed by the Client to mitigate the impact of the Defect; and
    4. The current status of the work being done to provide the Workaround or Fix

    Business Continuity Plan (BCP) & Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP)

    We have the above plans which will be made available for a nominated representative to view in a secure environment upon written request.

    Restore Time Following A Disaster

    The time it would take to restore the platform following a catastrophic failure, to enable customer transactions to recommence, is 24 hours.

    Recovery Time Objective

    If the datastore encounters a catastrophic failure the maximum amount of non-recoverable data is 1 hour, due to the back-up regime.

    Triage is the procedure of assigning levels of priority to tasks to determine the most effective order in which to deal with them.
