HCL BigFix Trust Center


Software security is critically important to HCL and our valued clients. It is also central to the way HCL BigFix is developed. The HCL security strategy covers all aspects of our business, including corporate and organizational security policies, incident management and response, business continuity and disaster recovery, secure software development processes, and privacy.

This web page specifically addresses the HCL BigFix secure development process, as well as our company and product certifications important to our commercial and government customers. It conveys how the HCL BigFix solution helps IT and Security teams secure their endpoint fleet.

Secure Product Development


HCLSoftware adheres to stringent development processes to protect the code we develop and provide to both our commercial and government customers. 

Highly Secure Controlled Location

Additionally, BigFix content is protected in several ways. First, the BigFix Content Servers are running in secure data centers. Second, file access control lists (FACL) limiting access and changes to authorized users. And lastly, BigFix content itself is cryptographically signed during the secure build process. Content that is not signed correctly is rejected by BigFix servers and logged as an error. As a result, content downloaded by our customers from the BigFix Content Servers is protected and secure.

Secure Product Support


Our Product Support teams protect our customer data and information by collecting only vital information, limiting access to customer contact information and case data to only those who are actively working to troubleshoot the reported problem, and encrypting customer sensitive information making it unreadable to anyone other than the intended party. Our data protection policy includes:

  • Collecting only vital company and contact information.
  • Communicating customer information and data via HTTPS and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
  • Sending diagnostic data via SFTP or HTTPS using TLS protocols and encrypting stored data using the AES algorithm.

The HCLSoftware Support organization has achieved ISO27001 certification. External auditors have reviewed HCLSoftware’s practices, policies, and procedures and found that our Information Security Management System (ISMS) meets the requirements of the standard. ISO 27001 compliance demonstrates our ability to protect our client’s data and information.

HCL BigFix Security Bulletins


The HCL Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) manages the receipt, investigation and internal coordination of reported security vulnerabilities for HCLSoftware product offerings. The PSIRT coordinates with product development teams who investigate reported security vulnerabilities and identify the appropriate response plan. Once a response plan is identified, the product teams communicate with internal and external parties in the execution of our vulnerability response process. For more information, visit the HCLSoftware PSIRT page.

 

The HCL PSIRT publishes Security Bulletins to our customers and partners. Each Security Bulletin describes the CVE and points to additional details and remediation. A list of HCL BigFix Security Bulletins can be on the HCLSoftware Community Forum.
