Incident Priorities

Incident tickets are categorised according to “priority,” which considers the overall impact the customer is experiencing. The incident ticket priority should be based on the guidelines as shown in the table below.

Priority	Criteria (Reseller)	Criteria (Aggregation)	Criteria (End-User)
Low	Issue affecting single end-user / single protected device.	All issues about product functionality, when platform protection is not impacted.	Issue affecting a single protected device.
Medium	Issue affecting single end-user / multiple protected devices.	A partial failure or degradation where a platform is not at full strength, but protection is not impacted.	Issue affecting multiple protected devices.
High	Issue affecting multiple end-users / protected devices.	A mild, non-critical Issue Impacting protection of a limited number of protected devices however, it can be readily circumvented with a workaround.	Issue affecting ALL protected devices. Recovery unavailable.
Urgent	Issue affecting ALL end-users / protected devices.	A severe issue or degradation preventing protection from an existing production environment.	Total service outage. Recovery unavailable.

Note. If a ticket is raised by email the priority will default to low unless the supplied information contains enough detail to classify the ticket using the table above.

Service Request Priority

All service request tickets will be assigned a Low priority. However this can be adjusted if the service request could impact the performance or protection capability related to the request.

Question Priority

All question tickets will be assigned a Low priority.
