SECURITY

IASO has taken several measures to store your data in a very secure way.
The security of the IASO Backup Bank is organized as follows:

• The systems are stored in a secured data centre (Level 3 Amsterdam and Düsseldorf, Interxion Schiphol-Rijk). The data centers meet the highest quality standards;  there are 19” sealable racks used and only authorized employees of IASO have access to them.
• Access to the backup servers is secured by a state-of-the-art firewall systeem (Juniper Netscreen).
• The communication between the backup client and the backup server happens via a proprietary protocol. The specifications of this protocol are unknown in the public domain. An attempt to hack the server will not lead to any response of the server. The server does not make itself public by broadcasting. The communication port will act if it is closed when there is not the right protocol.
• An user ID and password are necessary to get access to an user account.
• All client-side queries which are send over the TCP/IP network, are coded with the Diffie Hellman protocol.
• All data will be send to the Backup Server and is saved in a 128-bits AES encrypted format. The encryptionkey is NEVER present at the Backup Server.

The storage systems for our Backup Bank are double redundant executed, that means:

• All Backup Servers have a RAID-5 disc-save-system. Failure of a hard disk does not lead to the loss of data. 
• Every primary Backup Server has a continuous connection with a secondary Backup Server on another location (e.g. Amsterdam – Düsseldorf). The data between these two servers is continuously synchronized. This synchronization process takes some time, so there can not be guaranteed that the secondary backup is 100% up-to-date. There can be guaranteed that – except for situations of maintenance – the backup data on the secondary Backup Server is not more than 24 hours older than the backup data on the primary Backup Server.
