5.5 The Datacentre will re-affirm the validity of Authorised Users contained in the User Database each year by e-mailing them individually should they not access the service after a period of 12 months. If the Authorised User fails to respond within a given period (no longer than 1 month), access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps will be terminated.

6. Training and Information

6.1 The Datacentre will run a scheme of training for Site Representatives and Responsible Officers for Security at Authorised Institutions. The training will provide information on Authorised User Registration procedures, security of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps, the usage of Licensed Work and Digital Maps permitted under the Agreement and copyright arrangements.

6.2 The Datacentre will promote the availability of these courses widely across the higher education community and encourage Authorised Institutions to nominate relevant staff to attend. This activity will be ongoing throughout the period the Datacentre is contracted to manage the secure distribution and use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.

6.3 In order to re-enforce good practice amongst the users of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps at the Sub-Licensee, the Datacentre will develop and implement procedures as part of their delivery systems and /or within the the Sub-Licensee that: -

  • Display the copyright terms and conditions that apply to use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps whenever an Authorised User logs on to the Service.
  • Ensures that Authorised Users are required to read and accept the terms of Use for the Licensed Work and Digital Maps as part of the registration service.
  • Provide ready access to a Terms of Use summary for all Authorised Users accessing the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.
  • A copy of the Terms of Use summary are supplied with all copies of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps supplied to the Sub-Licensee.

7. Access Control to the Service

7.1 The Datacentre will, save as provided herein:

  • Ensure only Authorised Users can have access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.
  • Ensure that Authorised Users are only given access to those parts of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps and the Service to which they are eligible.

7.2 Access to the Licensed Work and the Digital Maps will be authorised by the Athens Access Management System. The Sub-Licensee is required to record authorisation for its users in Athens. Individual Authorised Users will also be required to register with the Datacentre in order to access the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.

7.3 On having been given access to the Service, the system is required to display a document setting out copyright terms and conditions for use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps. The Authorised User will be required to indicate acceptance of these terms and conditions before being given access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.

7.4 The Datacentre access system will be required to check that the Authorised User has correctly logged into the Service whenever that Service is accessed. lf the check is not positive then the Authorised User will be prompted to provide their username and password which will then be authenticated in accordance with paragraph 7.2 above. This ongoing checking process is required to ensure that bookmarking the Datacentre's Service does not by-pass the Authorised User authentication access controls.

7.5 The Datacentre access system will be required to provide specific access controls to each of the levels of Service provided including:

  • The Licensed Work and Digital Maps provided under the terms of the Sub-Licence
  • Support information provided for the benefit of Site Representatives and Responsible Officers for security of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps
  • The types of service available from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps such as:
    • Data download.
    • Digital Maps generated from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.

7.6 The Datacentre access system will be required to provide an automatic cut-out that will disconnect the Authorised User from access to the Licensed Work if they do not interact with the Service for a period of 20 minutes. Where such a cut-out occurs, before the Service can be accessed again, the system will require user details to be re-authenticated in accordance with paragraphs 7.2 and 7.3 above.

7.7 Downloading data. The Datacentre will:

  • Ensure that only the Authorised User who has requested the Licensed Work and Digital Maps in data form is able to download it.
  • Ensure that these procedures can offer a secure environment for data downloaded through FTP including a time limit for the period that the data is available for FTP download. This period must not exceed 3 days.

8. Identifying maps and data

8.1 The Datacentre will:

  • Watermark all screen images of mapping generated from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps and annotate the image with a standard crown copyright statement that will appear along the bottom edge of the image.
  • Watermark all hard copy map images printed from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps and reproduce a crown copyright acknowledgement along the bottom edge of the map area.
  • On all hard copy map images printed from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps include the Authorised User's name and the date of image production.
  • Identify the Datacentre as the source for any of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps products supplied in data form to Authorised Users along with the Authorised User name and the date the Licensed Work and Digital Maps was requested for downloading. This information is to be written into each data file.

9. Logging user activity

9.1 The Datacentre will log and monitor the use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps by Authorised Users as follows:

  • To record individual Authorised User activity for audit purposes by the Datacentre, and/or Ordnance Survey
  • To identify individual Authorised User activity by hard copy map extracts and data download
  • To make Site Representatives aware of the pattern of usage within the Sub-Licensee
  • To make Site Representatives and the Sub-Licensee
  • To make Authorised Users aware of any unauthorised use of their Athens account
  • To make the Datacentre aware of any unusual patterns of usage of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps either by individual Authorised Users or by Sub-Licensees
  • Save as provided in Clause 5.2.8, to record the transfer of data downloaded to an Authorised User from one Sub-Licenseeto another Authorised User at another Authorised Institution

9.2 All logs of use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps will be retained and made accessible by the Datacentre to Ordnance Survey and/or the HEFCE and/or Site Representatives for a rolling period of 5 years. In accordance with the Data Protection Act users will be notified that their use of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps is monitored and recorded.

10. Incident Procedures

10.1 Reporting of Incidents

10.1.1 Where a suspected incident of misuse of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps is detected by Ordnance Survey and/or HEFCE and/or the Sub-Licensee and/or an Authorised User, details of the incident will be relayed immediately to the Datacentre. The Datacentre will in turn notify the relevant Sub-Licensee and Ordnance Survey.

10.1.2 In all cases the Datacentre will document the details of the incident in a Security Incident Log. As the investigation into the incident proceeds, this log will be updated accordingly. Incidents will be classified as Minor or Major in accordance with the definitions in paragraph 10.2below. The content of the Security incident log will be made available at all times to Ordnance Survey and/or HEFCE. The Security Incident Log will be retained by the Datacentre for a period of 3 years beyond the cessation of service operation by the Datacentre.

10.2 Classification of Security Incidents

The Datacentre will be required to identify an incident under one of two categories as follows:

  • Major Incident - A failure to comply with the licence conditions of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps that raises significant doubts as to the adequacy of measures within a Sub-Licensee to protect the availability, integrity, correct usage or supply of elements of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps to Authorised Users only e.g. a systematic failure to acquaint users of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps with the terms of use and an environment which fails to provide the necessary checks and balances required under the terms of the licence for supply of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps.

  • Minor Incident - An isolated case in which some aspect of licence conditions was not fulfilled by a Sub-Licensee or Authorised User that raises some doubts as to the adequacy of the measures to protect the availability, integrity, correct usage or supply of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps to Authorised Users only e.g. an isolated incident of misuse of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps due to an Authorised User's misinterpretation of the terms of the licence agreement between HEFCE and the Sub-Licensee.

10.3 Resolution of Incidents

Minor Incident

  • When a minor security incident is identified, the Responsible Officer for Data Security at the relevant Sub-Licensee will report the details to the Datacentre where it will be logged in the Security Incident Log. The Responsible Officer for Data Security at the Sub-Licensee will in consultation with the Site Representative and the Datacentre as necessary draw up and initiate a corrective action plan.
  • The Datacentre will insist on regular reports from the Responsible Officer until the action plan to rectify the incident has been completed.
  • On completion the Responsible Officer will notify the Datacentre and the incident will be recorded as closed in the Security Incident log. A copy of the full Incident Log entry will be sent to Ordnance Survey for information.
  • When the Responsible Officer for Data Security at a Sub-Licenseeis unable to draw up a practical action plan to resolve the security incident to the satisfaction of the Datacentre, and in a reasonable time scale, the Datacentre will immediately inform Ordnance Survey.
  • Ordnance Survey and the Datacentre will then decide whether to escalate the incident to Major or to provide the Responsible Officer and the relevant Sub-Licensee with direct guidance to resolve the incident satisfactorily.

Major Incident

  • On identifying a potential major incident, the Responsible Officer for Security at the relevant Sub-Licensee having advised the Site Representative will notify the Datacentre immediately.
  • When a major incident is raised with the Datacentre whether by a Responsible Officer of Security at a Sub-Licensee or from another source, the Datacentre will immediately record the circumstances in the Security Incident Log and inform Ordnance Survey.
  • The Datacentre will Sub-Licensee Institution to take significant remedial action including a timetable for implementation. This timetable shall be agreed with the Datacentre and must not exceed six working weeks duration commencing from a current date.
  • The Datacentre will instruct the Responsible Officer for Security to provide weekly progress of the implementation of the remedial action plan.
  • Once the Responsible Officer for Security has reported that the problem has been resolved (assuming that it is within the timetable period) the Datacentre will require documentary evidence that satisfactorily demonstrates this resolution.
  • If the Datacentre is not satisfied with this evidence however, it will advise the Sub-Licensee at senior management level and require assistance in pursuing any further investigation to establish that the problem has been properly resolved. Ordnance Survey will be notified if this course of action is required.
  • Subject to this assistance being forthcoming and the necessary evidence of corrective action being provided, the Datacentre may, subject to agreement from Ordnance Survey declare the incident closed.
  • The Security Incident Log entry will be completed by the Datacentre to record the sequence of actions taken and the date the incident was closed.
  • If however the problem is not resolved to the satisfaction of the Datacentre, the Datacentre will recommend to Ordnance Survey and HEFCE that the offending Authorised Institution right to access the Licensed Work and Digital Maps be suspended. Examples of where this action will be applicable are as follows:
  • When significant abuse has actually taken place (rather than a weakness in procedures that creates the potential for abuse).
  • Where in the opinion of the Datacentre, having consulted with Ordnance Survey, the incident represents an unacceptable risk to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps and will take significant time to resolve.
  • Where the Sub-Licensee has failed to provide clear evidence of adequate remedial action within an agreed period of time.
  • Where there is evidence of a repeated lack of commitment within the Sub-Licensee to apply agreed security procedures.
  • Where following an on site examination by the Datacentre, the Sub-Licensee fails to show satisfactory evidence that the reasons for the major security incident have been properly resolved.

If the Datacentre's recommendation for suspension is agreed by Ordnance Survey and HEFCE, the Datacentre will take the following action within two working weeks:

  • Terminate all access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps or related Services provided by the Datacentre to all Authorised Users at the relevant Sub-Licensee.
  • Ensure that the offending Sub-Licensee has no access to the Licensed Work or related Services from other Sub-Licensees or their Authorised Users.
  • Place a moratorium on the continued use of Licensed Work and Digital Maps or outputs from the Licensed Work and Digital Maps already held within the offending Sub-Licensee and ensure that Authorised Users within that Sub-Licensee are aware that any continued use would be in breach of the terms of this Agreement. In this regard, the Datacentre will provide additional support to the Sub-Licensee Site Representative and Responsible Officer for Security.
  • Set a suspension period for the Sub-Licensee and notify the Site Representative and Responsible Officer for Security accordingly.
  • During the period of suspension, the Datacentre will support the Responsible Officer for Security and the Site Representative at the offending to implement the agreed action plan to resolve the security problem. The Datacentre will instruct the Responsible Officer for Security and the Site Representative to provide weekly reports on implementation progress.
  • One week prior to the end of the agreed suspension period, the Datacentre will review the corrective action taken and decide whether the security problem has been resolved satisfactorily. If this is the case, it will advise Ordnance Survey and HEFCE accordingly and recommend reinstatement of the Sub-Licensee. Subject to Ordnance Survey and the HEFCE's agreement, the Datacentre can initiate re-instatement action having recorded the decision in the Security Incident Log and the planned re-instatement date.
  • Ordnance Survey may prior to agreeing to re-instatement request that the Datacentre carry out a formal site audit of the Sub-Licensee and produce a written report of its findings. Copies of this report will be sent to Ordnance Survey and HEFCE to inform their decision on re-instatement.
  • If the offending Sub-Licensee is found not to have resolved the security problem to the satisfaction of the Datacentre, Ordnance Survey and HEFCE, then the Authorised Institution will be deemed to have terminated its right to access the Licensed Work and Digital Maps under the terms of the Ordnance Survey Data Sub-Licence Agreement.

In the event of the termination of an Sub-Licensee's licence to use the Licensed Work, the Datacentre will be required to take the following action:

  • Advise the Sub-Licensee formally in writing that its access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps has been terminated and the reasons for this decision.
  • Advise the Sub-Licensee (and supervise its compliance) to destroy all copies of the Digital Data held on the Sub-Licensee's systems.
  • Advise the Sub-Licensee (and supervise its compliance) to instruct all Authorised Users of the Digital Data within its establishment to delete all electronic copies of the Digital Data they may hold in their personal files. Failure to do so will mean the Authorised Users are in breach of Crown Copyright.
  • Advise the Sub-Licensee (and supervise its compliance) to instruct all Authorised Users of the Licensed Work and Digital Maps that they are not permitted to use Digital Maps until a new Educational Copyright Licence is negotiated directly with Ordnance Survey.
  • Delete all access codes to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps from the Sub-Licensee community.
  • Publicise within the higher and further education community that the offending Sub-Licensee no longer has access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps and that they may not receive the Licensed Work and Digital Maps from any other Sub-Licensee.
  • The offending Sub-Licensee may only be considered for access to the Licensed Work and Digital Maps under the terms of this Agreement (or any future replacement arrangements) after a period of three years.
