Severity Levels

SterlingBio defines severity levels according to the following schedule:

• Severity Level 1 (S1)—A S1 issues is when the SterlingBio Cloud is down when online and connected to an Internet service provider.
• Severity Level 2 (S2)—A S2 issue is when a critical software function is impaired and/or not functioning according to specifications.
• Severity Level 3 (S3)—A S3 issue is when a non-critical software function is impaired and/or not functioning according to specifications.

Severity 1: When Production Goes Down

We understand that our SterlingBio Collaborative Cloud is the key to conducting your study – and every minute that our Cloud is down potentially delays the introduction of a life-saving therapy. When you report a S1, we’re not going to debate it – we’re going to respond. For this reason, every S1 issue receives a 1-hour response, 24/7 from our on-call team, which is notified immediately.
