EdataSOS uses some of the most advanced technologies to ensure your data is protected. All data is encrypted, compressed and then transported over the internet using latest most secure methods to prevent unauthorized eavesdropping or tampering with your vital data.
Security is key at E-data-SOS. Our service is as secure as a safe
deposit box from an FDIC insured bank and as confidential as a Swiss
Bank account. Whether you're backing up your office data, saving
research materials, backing up copies of important insurance policies
or family photos, you can be assured that your files are being kept
confidential and always accessible. E-data-SOS and its suppliers
have dedicated the past four years to designing and implementing
a back-end infrastructure and architecture with the highest level
of security and confidentiality. We have combined the most advanced
online security protocols with state-of-the-art redundant security
systems, and created our own proprietary systems to ensure that
your files are as secure and confidential as technologically possible.
Security Protection Measures
File Encryption
During
transmission to our servers your data is encrypted using your choice of
various different encryption algorithms. Some of those choices are
56-bit Blowfish, 56-bit DES, 112-bit triple DES, 128-bit AES, 128-bit
Blowfish, and 448-bit Blowfish.

SSL Secure Sockets Layer Protocol
Whenever a secure transaction is performed online, the web browser
and the server are connected using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).
SSL operates by layering a security protocol of an underlying
reliable connection-oriented transport protocol. The combined
protocol establishes a connection with a remote host and then
performs a "handshake" between the two nodes to establish
a secure session. Once the security handshake is complete, the
protocol then encrypts and authenticates data sent from the local
host and decrypts and verifies data received from the remote host.
This is done in a manner transparent to the application utilizing
the SSL protocol. Once the SSL protocol is in place, to guarantee
the highest security, the encryption coding is continually modified.

Storage Facility Control
Our
storage facilities, or Data Centers, have limited personnel access.
Personnel can only access the storage facility with a combination of
special card keys, physical keys, as well as pin pad security code. All
access to the storage facility is monitored, recorded, logged and kept
on record. We also perform background evaluations on all employees, and
all employees are bonded. Authorized personnel must escort all
visitors. All facilities are kept in a Class A structure in a climate
controlled environment. The facility is protected by a fire suppression
system, redundant UPSs, and a backup power generator.

Firewall
A firewall is a set of related programs all working together
to protect your data from violation, unauthorized access, and
unauthorized distribution. Firewalls are a complicated form of
security: multi-layered and multi-faceted. A strong firewall is
your protection not only from the outside world, but from the
inside one as well. At its most basic level, a firewall will act
as a router, directing data to its appropriate place. Firewalls
are also frequently installed on a non-modifiable device; safely,
and protectively, separated from the rest of the network.

Transport Layer Security (TLS)
Both privacy and security are enhanced utilizing the TLS protocol between the backup client and server to reduce the possibility of "Man-in-the-Middle" (MITM) attacks.
