Security Overview

Backing up your business information is essential. Ensuring the security of this sensitive data is an integral part of that process.

When choosing an online backup provider you need to be sure that they have the infrastructure, technology and security framework to keep your data safe from the widespread threat of data and identity theft.

Zyvault ensures this peace of mind with an essential combination of key security practises.

Data Security          

Before transferring your backup data, it is first compressed and then encrypted on your computer using your unique encryption password.

This encryption password is generated by and unique to you. With this password, you and only you will be able to access this data. If you forget your encryption password neither you, Zyvault staff or anyone else will have access to that data and it is therefore essential to both protect this password and keep it somewhere safe.

Transfer security

Once encrypted, our software connects to our primary datacentre to transfer the already encrypted files. This is transmitted over an SSL connection. An SSL connection differs from standard internet connections in that it establishes a direct, encrypted connection between the server and your computer. SSL connections are therefore not vulnerable to eavesdropping as is the case with standard web connections.

Datacentre Security

Zyvault backup servers are housed in state of the art datacentres.

Our primary datacentre is based in London’s docklands with 24x7 security systems featuring: iris scanning technology, security barriers, 24x7x365 monitoring by on-site personnel and verification of all persons entering the building, CCTV video camera surveillance throughout, and security breach alarms. There are also systems in place to ensure a constant uninterruptible power supply.

Datacentre Replication

While some online backup providers rely on a sole data centre, Zyvault’s superior infrastructure gives you extra peace of mind.

In addition to storing your data at our primary datacentre, we use near real-time replication of our entire storage platform to our secondary datacentre, a former nuclear bunker across a dedicated high speed connection. This means that Zyvault can provide extraordinary resilience in the event of disaster.
