Stargate Technologies have adopted a “security in depth” policy. Stargate control the physical environment with door locks, cameras, security passes for all staff and alarms. Additional layers are employed such as smartcards, password authentications, 128 bit SSL encryption of data and multiple firewalls. To guarantee uninterrupted processing, a diesel generator and multiple ISPs are used. All system data is backed up daily and stored offsite by an external security firm. Finally, Stargate maintains a complete and ready to use disaster recovery site in the unlikely case of major mishap.
