Security and Redundancy...Automated

With SimpleSignal Backup, all backed up data is automatically transmitted to two off-site, geographically-dispersed, data centers via a secure Internet channel. If you currently store backups on portable media such as tapes or disks, our online method would prevent the loss of data in the event of a natural or man-made disaster such as fire or theft.

Encryption

SimpleSignal Backup is a secure online data backup service which encrypts each file using 256 bit AES encryption technology. Only you will have access to this encryption key. It will never be transmitted over the Internet and it is never stored on our servers. This means that only you can access your online backup files. Each file that you backup is encrypted using this key and remains encrypted until you restore it and it returns to your computer.

Transmission

In addition, the software communicates with the backup servers using SSL (Secure Socket Layers) technology. This is the same encryption technology used by Internet browsers when a user enters a secured site such as an online bank. As a result, the online backup of data is encrypted twice. It is encrypted at all times using the 256 bit AES encryption, and it is encrypted again while it's being sent over the Internet.

Storage

Your data is stored (in encrypted form) in two, Tier-4, SAS70 Type 2 certified, online data backup centers, located 500 miles apart. Each data center has 24/7 monitoring and advanced security measures such as biometric controlled access as well as backup generators and redundant connections to the Internet.
