Highly secure data centres
Protecting your business assets

Strictly controlled access ensures that we have some of the most secure data centre facilities in the industry.

The security of your business-critical data and systems is our primary concern. To this end, we have a permanent manned security presence at all of our data centres and use multi-layered physical security including a secure perimeter, biometrics and video surveillance.

Entry to each facility is tightly controlled – with strict procedures in place to monitor and control visitor access both into and within the data centre. Extensive CCTV video camera surveillance is in place across each facility, along with security breach alarms, biometric checks and controlled physical barriers.

Controlled access

Access to the buildings, data floors and individual areas is via individually programmed access cards – using biometrics and visual identification – ensuring secure, single-person entry. Standardised procedures ensure that you and your nominated staff can gain access to your equipment whenever required, day or night.

High security standards

To underline our commitment to security best practice, we have achieved the ISO27001:2005 Security Management standard, which ensures the proper selection of adequate and proportionate security controls to protect all information assets in our data centres.

Our UK data centres are audited by the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure, the Government authority which provides protective security advice to businesses and organisations across the national infrastructure.

Payment card security

In 2006, we were the first UK data centre provider to achieve Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) accreditation, the standard developed by Visa and MasterCard.  This standard has also now been applied to our data centres in Amsterdam. As a result, all of our customers storing credit card details, customer information and transactional data have the guarantee we comply with the 12-step security standard outlined by the leading card issuers.
