When you move your corporate data assets to offsite data storage, do you want them stored in a warehouse or in a steel and concrete encased bank vault? S2|DATA believes that secure offsite data storage should be just that, and warehouse storage just isn’t good enough!
S2|DATA has two high security, former bank vaults in Atlanta, GA situated on a 3-acre razor wire protected campus in extremely close proximity to fire and police protection. Security isn’t just a buzzword, it is literally built into the foundation of our facilities.
As a forensic and data restoration company that serves the legal and compliance market space, often discovering data for use in litigation cases there were common processes that occurred:
- The Legal team requests the investigation of data
- IT Operations instructs their offsite service provider to collect the required media
- The media is transported to S2|DATA, where upon receipt a chain of custody documentation is reconciled against a pick list
- S2|DATA performs the restoration & discovery work – all within our vault
- Upon completion the process goes into reverse
The client was often subject to the following problems:
- Depending upon quantity of media it sometimes took weeks to get to the S2|DATA lab for work
- The media list sometimes didn’t reconcile with the pick list provided
- Transportation provided further risk of data theft, delay or even loss
To many of our clients the solution to reducing these risks was obvious: use S2|DATA for their offsite data storage needs! Knowing there was a possibility of further discoveries in the future, removing the risk associated with transportation, logistics, offsite data storage and production was a top priority. S2|DATA’s High Availability Vault provides the means of storage and production of data in one location.
