OMNI Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Support Tiers
The following details and describes our Support Tier level:
Response and Resolution Times
In the service desk, all tickets are recorded and assigned a priority level. Within the agreement, the service provider will specify
the response times and remediation times for each priority level.
The following table describes the steps of ticket progression as well as how the time is measured.
For example: when a new ticket is submitted, the clock starts running and continues to run while the work is in progress.
However, if an analyst is waiting for input or delivery from the customer or a third party, the clock will be paused. It is only when
the ticket is completed and closed that the clock is stopped.
Support Options
In the unlikely event City of Laurel has a problem with a workstation or a server, and Systems has not already attempted to notify
you, City of Laurel should contact Systems. Phone support using our Help Desk is the clients' first and best contact option. If the
issue cannot be resolved with phone and remote support, an engineer will be dispatched to the site. Most Help Desk requests
can be answered and resolved remotely. All incidents, whether called in or reported via the ticket system, will be submitted as
tickets and available for tracking all the way from first report to final resolution.
Systems will respond to City of Laurel service tickets in accordance with this agreement as outlined above, and with best effort
after hours or on holidays. Service tickets may be opened by any employee, contact person, or by email to our Help Desk
(helpdesk@getsystems.net), Help Desk Client Portal (helpdesk.getsystems.net) or by phone (866.401.4846). Each call made to
the Systems' Help Desk will be assigned a service ticket number for tracking. Our escalation process is detailed in this
agreement and specific to the client. NOTE: Calls or emails directly sent or made to technicians will NOT be held to the
standards of this agreement or any other response times expressed or implied.

Firewall as a SenAce, (FWaaS)
Morrison-Maierle Systems' (Systems) Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) provides businesses with a layer of network security that
complements existing antivirus software while strengthening your network security.
This service will improve network security by establishing a barrier between your internal network and the internet.
• Every FWaaS appliance comes with the SonicWall solution which combines the hardware, licensing and all the services
needed for comprehensive network protection from a wide range of network threats—including viruses, spyware, worms,
Trojans, and keyloggers. Each device includes Capture Advanced Threat Protection, which revolutionizes detection and
sandboxing with a multi -engine approach, to stopping unknown and zero -day attacks at the gateway with automated
remediation.
® Systems' FWaaS helps protect against hardware obsolescence as well. This service allows for replacement of the
firewall appliance at end of life, or if necessary, to ensure our clients have up to date protection.
® As part of this agreement, Systems will fully maintain and manage the appliance, keeping the firmware and virus
definitions up to date.
® FWaaS requires a 24 month commitment outside of our Managed Services Agreement (MSA). Should the client
decide to cancel this MSA, the client will be responsible for buying out the remainder of the 24 month
commitment.
Cyberaware End User Security Testing and Training
End User Security Testing and Training provides employees with a monthly 2 -minute IT training video keeping security at the
forefront. Also included are monthly phishing simulations effectively testing employee security awareness and susceptibility to
social engineering tactics.

Managed Email Security
Quickly filters and sanitizes email -borne threats from every email before delivery to your mail server. This technology utilizes
virus scanning, spam scoring, real-time intent analysis, URL link protection, reputation checks, and various other techniques. We
provide you with the best possible level of protection for your business. Our global 24/7 threat operations center continuously
monitors the internet for new threats across all attack vectors feeding this intelligence into Essential's filtering technology.
ev Features:
Inbound Email Securit
® Advanced Threat Protection - Combines behavioral, heuristic, and sandboxing technologies to protect against
instantaneous and targeted attacks. Email attachments are automatically scanned detonating suspicious attachments in
a sandbox environment to observe behavior
a Anti-Phishing Protection - Integrates anti -fraud intelligence, domain name validation, along with behavioral and
heuristic detection to combat phishing attacks and sender spoofing (i.e., spammers spoofing valid email addresses)
® Malware Protection - Leverages the cloud for dynamic, real-time threat analysis, attachment sandboxing, and URL
protection to prevent email users from being affected
• Link Protection — Automatically rewrites URLs containing malicious code that can be invisibly downloaded to trigger a
