How Is My Business Data Secured Online?

May 26, 2010

Some small businesses owners are reluctant to embrace online data storage methods because of fears over the security of their data. At WinWeb we understand that small businesses need to know how their data is kept safe, but we can only reveal a certain amount about the steps we take to protect all the data on our servers before it becomes a security risk.

No security system is ever perfect, but there are data protection standards enforceable by law what we believe that WinWeb surpass by a huge margin. Our servers are located at the major Internet nodes worldwide to ensure the fastest possible connection.

For 15 years, the global backbone of WinWeb physical security has been provided by Telehouse Europe (http://www.telehouse.net/). The servers are housed in a fully air-conditioned and cleaned environment, coupled with an automatic fire prevention, detection and extinguishing system. WinWeb also house servers in a completely secure second location that continuously backs up all your data, ensuring that even in the very worst case scenario any potential data loss would only last for a matter of hours. Servers are monitored around the clock for any abnormal activity by our trained staff.

Our customers also have the option of exporting their own data as a backup if the data is of particular value and they wish to do so. Even the most cautious business owner should let the positive steps taken to secure our online data systems far outweigh any risks. In reality, small business data is more secure on our servers than on a USB stick in your home or office.
