All data is saved, securely stored and backed up in multiple data centres that adhere to the most stringent global standards for data protection

  • Data is stored in multiple data centres that are accredited to PCI DSS, ISO27001, and SAS70 standards

  • The data is supported by multiple back ups per day and is physically stored in data centres in the US and Europe, remote from the UK data centre
  • Physical access to data centres is guarded with keycard- and biometric scanning protocols
  • Access to data centres is monitored with round-the-clock interior and exterior surveillance
  • Only authorised data centre personnel are given accredited access to data centres. No one else can enter the production area of the data centres without prior clearance and an appropriate escort
  • Every data centre employee undergoes multiple and thorough background security checks before they are hired
  • Only fully redundant servers, hard drives and routing equipment is used
  • Redundant heating, ventilation and air conditioning is used to ensure immediate backup should there be any failures
  • Every 90 seconds all air in the data centres is circulated and filtered to remove dust and contaminants
  • Advanced fire suppression systems are standard at all centres
  • Every server receives conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), with instantaneous failover if the primary UPS fails
  • On-site diesel generators are routinely tested on the ability to run indefinitely if an extended utility power outage occurs
