Before you start
You will need a named senior responsible owner in a Commonwealth department.
Your service must have a data protection impact assessment before it holds personal data.
Non-production environments are provisioned immediately; production requires a passed assessment.
How to use this service
Tell us about the service
What it does, who uses it, and what data it holds. This determines the security profile we provision.
Get your non-production environments
Development and staging environments are available within three working days, with logging and monitoring already configured.
Pass your service assessment
Production access is granted once your service has passed assessment. You can book that at any point.
Go live with support
We monitor the platform 24 hours a day. Your team stays responsible for the service running on it.
