TECH SUPPORT CASE CLASSIFICATION

The severity of support cases are divided into four categories: Critical, Serious, Moderate and Minor.

We assign Critical priority to cases where users are not able to log into the system, access credentials or systems managed by CyberArk’s product at scale, or elevate privileges at scale

Examples of support cases categorized as critical:

  • Users are not able to log in to retrieve credentials or establish privileged sessions due to a failure in CyberArk system
  • Users are not able to establish privileged sessions, and there is no other way to access managed assets
  • CyberArk’s software is blocking normal office productivity applications or not allowing multiple users to log into their workstations
  • A business-critical application is not operational because it cannot retrieve its credentials
  • Exclusive accounts are not released in a timely manner
  • A critical business process for the customer is stopped, resulting in significant financial losses

These are high impact events that do not fall under the Critical category because they do not affect access to credentials or privilege.

As examples, CyberArk will treat the following situation as serious:

  • Loss of Redundancy
  • Performance issue that allows the users to perform their duties
  • Password management issues at scale that do not affect users’ or applications’ access to credentials
  • Audit data consistency
  • Intermittent issues that correct themselves without intervention

Most problems will fall in this category. Also, after an immediate Serious or Critical issue is resolved, we will conduct root cause analysis with Moderate priority

Examples of Moderate priority issues are:

  • Data quality issues
  • Individual user login issues
  • Issues with credential management functionality
  • Issues related to provisioning new functionality
  • Investigation of error messages
  • Issues observed in non-production environments

Examples Include:

  • Errors and clarifications about Product Documentation
  • Advice on best practices ˚ Questions about functionality
