Service Strategy & Commitments
This page explains what we deliver, who we serve, and the commitments we make as an ISO 20000-1:2018 certified IT service provider.
Our Service Value Proposition
Unicis delivers cloud-native GRC (Governance, Risk, Compliance) software to help EU SMEs navigate complex regulatory frameworks — NIS2, GDPR, DORA, CRA, ISO 27001.
What we provide:
- Platform for compliance control mapping and management
- Pre-built control libraries for major EU compliance frameworks
- Risk assessment and remediation tracking
- Compliance evidence documentation
What you get:
- Reduce time/cost of compliance program setup (weeks → days)
- Stay compliant with changing regulations
- Demonstrate due diligence to auditors and regulators
- Centralize compliance data in one system
Service Scope (What We Manage)
In Scope (Unicis Responsibility):
- ✅ SaaS Platform (platform.unicis.tech) — application, APIs, user interfaces
- ✅ Self-hosted Infrastructure — servers, databases, security monitoring, backups
- ✅ Deployments & Updates — code review, testing, production releases
- ✅ Customer Support — technical assistance, onboarding, feature guidance
- ✅ Security & Incident Response — vulnerability management, incident handling
- ✅ Uptime & Performance — monitoring, alerting, optimization
Out of Scope (Your Responsibility or Vendor Responsibility):
- ❌ Your data classification or privacy decisions — that's your choice
- ❌ Your compliance obligations — we provide tools; you define your scope
- ❌ Third-party platforms (Mautic, Dolibarr, Nextcloud, etc.) — vendors manage their security
- ❌ Your internal access control — you decide who in your org uses Unicis

- Maintainable (clear code, documentation)
For details, see ISO 20000-1 Overview.
Service Transition
Before every update:
- Code review (multiple eyes)
- Automated testing (catches bugs)
- Staging environment (test before live)
- Gradual rollout (catch issues early)

Service Delivery
After every deployment:
- Monitoring (uptime, performance, security)
- Support available (for customer questions)
- Incident response (rapid for critical issues)
