The data centers are functionally independent with distinct and redundant resources and are fully integrated through the provider’s network architecture, which allows for seamless intra-data center capabilities. The company’s highly trained engineers are available to provide onsite, enterprise-class services in the event that a non-automated function is needed.
The data center is SAS 70 Type II Certified and meets industry-recognized requirements for security and reliability. The exhaustive third-party certification assessment includes extensive testing of the control objectives and activities at all data center facilities, with oversight by executive management, operations and customer service, development and information technology organization, human resources policies and procedures, and risk assessment monitoring.
Additionally, the data center provider is self-certified with the US Department of Commerce’s US-European Union (EU) Safe Harbour framework, which verifies that the provider meets the EU’s adequacy standard for data and privacy protection. Self-certification and participation in the Safe Harbour framework is entirely voluntary.
