We work hard to protect you and your information from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction and have several layers of security measures in place, We protect ourselves electronically via gateway firewall in order to prevent unauthorised access via the WAN address. Each site is connected via a VPN to a secure firewall located in a remote Newbury datacentre. Ian Smith’s data is separated from that of other clients using vLANS. Our end users connect to their environment using a Microsoft terminal server. Access is restricted to the three offices which are located in West Bromwich, Norwich and Stoke. Any remote\home users can only connect via a secure SSL VPN tunnel which is managed through their bunker virtual firewall and which utilises individual active directory credentials as an extra layer of security. All endpoints are installed with anti-virus protection and any automated alerts generated by the system are received, managed and resolved via the CIS helpdesk and Sophos control portal. We have recently introduced group policies which force an automatic log off of end users after a certain period of inactivity. Users are also periodically made to change their access credentials. Users have been prevented from copying and pasting data from the terminal server connection to their local machine.
