   3. All backups are securely encrypted and stored offsite.
   4. All data is instantly replicated in a secondary hosting centre.
   5. Data backups are extremely granular (so we can restore anything from one record to many databases).

   7. Within SHOWOFF any access to client data is encrypted via SSL.
   8. SHOWOFF operates a strict password policy for all users of the CMS.
   9. We ensure that every server runs the smallest software footprint possible (i.e. we don’t install additional software unless it’s really needed and all non-essential services are disabled by default).
   10. ASP runs a Defence in Depth approach to information security. This is reflected in the layered approach to webserver, data security and network structure.
   11. All of our sites utilise a 3rd party WAF (web application firewall) as an additional layer of protection to help further mitigate risk.
   12. When someone connects to the servers (e.g. visiting a home page), chances are we know if they are ‘suspect’ and are alerted appropriately.
   13. ASP runs real time server monitors from 2 sources and are aware of any drops in service or speed immediately.
   14. ASP runs Adobe ColdFusion applications and develop to the OWASP standard. Their software installations are monitored by third party vulnerability scanners.
