Take advantage of three primary levels of protection-physical, network and server level security. A dedicated team of security engineers manages these, along with the Parsv Update process.

Physical Security: The Parsv data centers were designed with security in mind. From the main entrance to the receiving docks, security and reliability are the primary focus of the building design.

Network Security: Parsv's network security features a secure back-end administration network, hardened router configurations, a fully switched network and comprehensive access policies.

Server Security: The key to Parsv server security is a proprietary, hardened server build process. Risk-prone services are locked down to minimize the chance of exploits.

Parsv Smart Update: Security threats are evaluated for level of risk, and then an action plan is created based upon the nature of the threat and the degree of exposure to Parsv clients. Our dedicated team of security experts then sends out a security alert to effected clients. They architect and test a solution before deploying patches to your operating system.

Our stringent security standards are confirmed by a SAS 70 Type I and II certification. Parsv also completed a rigorous and well documented logical and physical security regimen to achieve TruSecure certification. The successful results of these demanding tests verify the effectiveness of our security controls and Parsv Services.
