IT Security & Backup Systems
At MedStar we don’t provide commodity-managed services. We customise to suit the specific requirements of your practice. You can choose the level of support you require either on an ad hoc basis, (where you call us when you need us), or by signing up for our
‘1 CARE’ MANAGED SERVICES PLAN
Whichever you choose MedStar will keep your practice operating to its maximum capability.
Quite often most businesses mistake backing up data as full data protection. The ability to recover the backed up data is never tested. It is too late to test, when that service is actually required.
When a disaster strikes, insurance will cover the physical and ICT infrastructure, but it does not protect the information, which is the life force for any practice. MedStar understand the importance and confidentiality of patient files.
These are some key questions most organisations should ask…
- How safe is your Data?
- Is your Data Backup disaster-proof?
- In the event of server failure, how soon are you back in action?
DATA SECURITY
When we install the Backup system on your computer(s) we configure it to copy all your important data from your computer to a remote server. Our software takes advantage of new cloud based technologies that allow most files to be copied even if they are in use.
HIGH LEVEL ENCRYPTION
Before your data is sent to our server the following security measures take place....
- Your data is compressed (zipped).
- Your data is then locked & encrypted.Not even we can access your data stored on our backup server without the password you choose.
SECURE TRANSFER OF DATA
Once your data is encrypted it is transferred to our remote server via SSL. This is a secure file transfer protocol with the same level of encryption used by banks and e-commerce websites.
MANAGED FIREWALL
In addition to the above security measures, our servers are located behind a managed firewall. By the time your data is stored on our servers it will be safer than it is on your own computer.
MONITORED
Your backups are continually monitored and in the event we do not receive a scheduled backup, you will be notified.
EASY DATA RETRIEVAL
You have access to your backed up data 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In the event you need to restore your data, we can easily download and restore individual files or groups of files
DATA REDUNDANCY
Multiple copies of your data are maintained at secure locations separated by physical distance to maintain redundancy.
