DSS provides unsurpassed Online security in a number of important ways.

• DSS encrypts and decrypts files using industry-standard ciphers such as RC2
or DES.
• Generates and manages password-derived and random cryptographic keys, making it one of the most secure Online solutions available today.
• Calculates one-way hash functions of files.
• Provides a client-side active component which enables your web-based application to perform all cryptographic operations directly on the user's machine for better security, flexibility and performance.
• Each suite of rooms has its own user access, file usage and space allocation set up by your business’ system administrator,
so that online transfers can be closely monitored and guarded.

Document Security Suites provides security from interface to infrastructure, through manpower and technology, to keep your information flowing smoothly, efficiently, safely. Add to that our precision environment that protects clients from system failures
in several key ways and you can rest assured your DSS rooms will always be open for business.

Our data centers are engineered to the standards required to support the Zero-Downtime Network. They are designed and maintained without compromise for security or redundancy.

• Every data center's HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) system is N+1 redundant. This ensures that a duplicate system immediately comes online should there be an HVAC system failure.
• Every 90 seconds, all the air in our data centers are circulated and filtered to remove dust and contaminants.
• Our advanced fire suppression systems are designed to stop fires from spreading in the unlikely event one should occur.

• Should a total utility power outage ever occur, all of our data centers' power systems are designed to run uninterrupted,
with every server receiving conditioned UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power.
• Our UPS power subsystem is N+1 redundant, with instantaneous failover if the primary UPS fails.
• If an extended utility power outage occurs, our routinely tested, on-site diesel generators can run indefinitely.

• Only fully redundant, enterprise-class routing equipment is used in our data centers.
• Fiber carriers enter our data centers at disparate points to guard against service failure.

• We require that the networking and security teams working in our data centers be certified. We also require that they be thoroughly experienced in managing and monitoring enterprise level networks.
• Certified Network Technicians are trained to the highest industry standards.

• Data center access limited to data center technicians
• Biometric scanning for controlled data center access
• Security camera monitoring at all data center locations
• 24x7 onsite staff provides additional protection against unauthorized entry
• Unmarked facilities to help maintain low profile
• Physical security audited by an independent firm

• System installation using hardened, patched OS
• System patching configured to provide ongoing protection from exploits
• Dedicated firewall and VPN services to help block unauthorized system access• Data protection with managed backup solutions
• Optional, dedicated intrusion detection devices to provide an additional layer of protection against unauthorized system access
• Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) mitigation services
• Risk assessment and security consultation by professional services teams

• ISO17799-based policies and procedures, regularly reviewed as part of our SAS70 Type II audit process
• Trained on documented information security and privacy procedures
• Access to confidential information restricted to authorized personnel only, according to documented processes
• Systems access logged and tracked for auditing purposes
• Secure document-destruction policies for all sensitive information
• Fully documented change-management procedures
• Independently audited disaster recovery and business continuity plans in place
