We take the security of your data very seriously. We employ the following security measures:

• Local Data Encryption
• Secure Data Transfer
• Secure Data Storage
• Restrict by IP
• HIPAA Compliant

>> Local Data Encryption

Before the data is transferred over your internet connection our software encrypts your data using the 128-bit Two-fish encryption algorithm. The key to unlock this encryption is chosen by you, this means that even we can't access your data. There have been no known successful attacks of this algorithm to date.

Using the worlds fastest super-computer as at the year 2000, it would take 876530835323573935 years to try all the combinations required to crack the encryption and view your data.

>> Secure Data Transfer

Once your data is local encrypted, it is transmitted to our data centre using 128-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer). This is the same technology which is used in Internet Banking. In other words your already encrypted data is encrypted again, using a different key, and sent to our servers.

>> Secure Data Storage

Our servers are located in dedicated, secure data centres, which maintain redundant power and internet connectivity sources. Additionaly they are under 24x7 security surveillance, allowing only authorised personal physical access to our servers.

>> Restrict by IP

If your business has a fixed internet address (IP), you can further secure your backup by only allowing backup and restore actions originating from your physical location.

>> HIPAA Compliant

"HIPAA" is an acronym for the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (USA), which is a strict standard governing the electronic storage, transfer and confidentiality of medical information.

HIPAA compliance is an issue to be considered through an entire organisation, however Secure Offsite Backup Solutions provides all the necessary mechanisms needed to securely exchange data and provide data intregrity as stated in the compliance rules. Read more about the HIPAA.
