Planet DDS invests in security on multiple levels.
Planet DDS takes securing your data very seriously. Planet DDS uses state-of-the-art hardware and software firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) along with continuous Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to monitor and protect all critical systems. These systems are maintained in a secure data center with limited physical access. Remote access is protected via two-factor authentication and only available to a very limited number of key IT personnel. All systems are updated and patched on a regular basis to ensure any potential vulnerabilities are resolved in a timely manner. Vulnerability scans are performed on a regular basis to ensure the highest level of security.
To further protect you, we continuously replicate data to our Disaster Recovery site. In addition, we send backups off-site both nightly and weekly.
Planet DDS also provides Security Awareness training for all employees to keep them up to date on the latest techniques used by hackers.
