Facility Security
 
Of significant importance is the physical security of your system. First Option evaluates the environment and depending on the level of risk a company is willing to bear, recommends and implements improvements to accomplish the company’s physical security goals.

Because there are numerous levels of security that can be considered, companies may elect to maintain minimum security measures in-house, or opt for more comprehensive off-site hosting to guarantee an always available, operational system.

First Option works with Invision, our Data Center partner, to provide complete hosting services. Our fully hosted clients benefit from a highly secure Data Center with full scalability, redundancy, and 24x7 access. This environmentally controlled hosting environment provides the high degree of reliability that is demanded in today's global e-business economy.

Invision has SAS 70 Type II compliance, assuring customers of the ability to fulfill HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley requirements for their IT infrastructure.

The goal of an offsite secure facility is to:

  • Avoid inadvertent misuse
  • Prevent intentional destruction by internal parties
  • Prohibit internal destruction by external parties
  • Guard against natural disasters
