  "summary": "For IT departments Door James is SaaS without its own user management: sign-in runs through OpenID Connect against your directory, groups drive permissions, and deactivated accounts lose access automatically. No servers, agents or inbound network ports are required; the setup effort sits with app registration and permissions.",

      "heading": "The effort sits up front, not in operations",
      "level": 2,
      "text": "With SaaS, IT effort shifts from operations to integration. For Door James that means concretely: one or two sessions with your identity owner, one app registration, consent for a manageable set of Graph permissions, and a decision about which room resources to synchronize. After that IT responsibility largely ends, because functional administration in the Admin Panel sits with the locations."

      "heading": "What you need for the security review",
      "level": 2,
      "text": "For a typical review we provide: an architecture description of the chosen hosting variant, the data processing agreement including subprocessors, the technical and organizational measures appendix, statements on encryption in transit and at rest, a description of the testing approach (OWASP ZAP, CAST, CI/CD) and the role and tenant concept. Where we do not have solid evidence, we say so – for example on the ongoing CIS benchmark implementation or the missing independent accessibility certification."

      "text": "Door James is public cloud SaaS with logical tenant separation. There is no on-premise operation, and a physically dedicated instance is not the standard model. If your security requirements mandate that, it is a knock-out criterion – and better known in week one than in the steering committee."

    {

      "answer": "The contractually agreed notification and response paths apply. Internal severity levels and target times are quality goals; binding commitments require a separate agreement."
