We monitor system and application activity logs to identify any unusual activity, from authorized and/or unauthorized individuals accessing our systems and/or making changes to stored information, for investigation. We regularly perform preventative system maintenance and monitoring to ensure the security of our data systems.

Our servers are maintained in professional facilities in secured access, locked facilities. The data center is monitored 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Backup tapes are made and retrieved daily.
