Security & Monitoring

Physical Security
Colo5’s physical security procedures ensure that only authorized individuals have access to various physical locations, such as movement within corporate facilities along with access to the data center, and any other critical areas.

Employees, contractors, and vendors are provided with their own security badge and biometric identification. The badge and biometric provides access to predefined locations with the corporate facility. The datacenter is accessible only to authorized employees and is protected by a badge system, a key code lock, biometric system, and turnstile.

Visitors enter through the main reception area and are required to provide government issued identification. Identification is scanned into the visitor log. A badge is printed that includes photo identification.

Network Security
Colo5’s network security policies and procedures ensure the protection of company wide networks, related devices, and their services from unauthorized intrusion, modification, destruction, or disclosure. Network security provides assurance that a network performs its critical functions correctly, efficiently, and without any interference. Its primary goal is to provide a reliable and secure platform, designed specifically so that users and programs perform only the actions allowed.

Firewalls – Firewalls are utilized to provide dedicated, security specific processing hardware and a complete set of Unified Threat Management (UTM) security features including stateful firewall and web filtering.

Virus Protection – Antivirus software is installed on all Microsoft based servers and workstations. Automatic updates are configured to ensure latest signature download for system protections.

Logging – System logging occurs according to system settings defined by the administrator. Log records can be retrieved as needed. Successful and failed logon activities are logged by domain controllers.
