How your data is protected
We use a multi-layered approach to security –
“Perimeter Security“ – All of our IT infrastructure is stored in a secure way. I am the only keyholder.
“Network Security” – All of the IT is further secured using strong password protection, using a mixture of alphanumeric and symbols. Your data is also held securely off-site with further protection provided by Microsoft OneDrive, who’s Privacy Policy can be found here.
Portable hard drives for use off-site and on location will not usually have personal information stored on them, and where they do they will have password protected encryption at the drive level. I ensure all my servers, routers, laptops, desktops, smartphones etc are kept up to date with the relevant security patches and updates by the manufacturer and have passwords.
“Privilege Based” – Only those who need to access your information will be able to access it. In most cases that is just one person – John O’ Connor . We use multiple alphanumeric passwords for access to all of my IT infrastructure. Where access is given to another person for technical support it is out of necessity and from a trustworthy company who abide by GDPR as well.
