Scaling
- Independence of resources
-
Access into supplier network is protected by firewalls and a VPN solution.
Supplier network then has strict internal security policies that segregate the internal network using virtual firewalls and virtual LANs.
These segregate data between systems that are customer specific and shared services used by multiple customers.
Customers are as a result only able to access shared systems or customer specific systems.
Supplier is ISO 27001 certified and datacentres are accredited both physical and Network by Home Office to IL3/Official sensitive.
