At SGC, we believe that your website and digital presence should be treated with the same care and level of security as your corporate data and servers. Very often it represents your identity in the digital world. If it is down, or infecting others, or hacked, it leaves a bad impression. We also believe that it is better to have direct control and knowledge of the situation rather than having it in some unknown and inaccessible data center (or the basement of someone’s house), possibly in another part of the world. Our solution includes the ability for us to have fast direct access to this solution, the data center operators (under contract), the backups and the data. We know where our “Cloud” is!

Our solution is located behind a first level enterprise class firewall in privately owned KW Datacenter – a local 7×24 managed data center with multiple redundant internet feeds.

It is further protected by SGC’s Industry leading Active Security & Filtering L3 Firewall Appliance with

• Intrusion detection: PCI-compliant IDS sensor using industry-leading Snort database from Sourcefire.
• Anti-virus and anti-phishing: flow-based protection engine powered by Kaspersky.
• Identity-based filtering and L7 application aware bandwidth management.

To further safeguard your data and intellectual property, we also offer a backup and retention solution that almost all other providers charge extra for or don’t have. Not only do we have automated off-site backups to Stratford, we also do a fail-safe backup with extensive retention (daily (7), weekly (4), monthly (12), annual) to our cTera backup solution which runs on a completely different hardware platform and doesn’t count towards your usage quota.
