Security
Cloud Clarity invests considerable human and capital resources to ensure levels of security and protection in which you can have full confidence. Our facilities are SSAE16 Type II audited, which attests to our high standards for security. Our network security, infrastructure security, and privacy protection are paid the same level of attention.
It seems that every day brings another story of a massive hack or unprecedented data breach. And while big businesses make the most news, small businesses have just as much to fear. According to the National Cyber Security Alliance, over 60% of small businesses are hacked each year.
These numbers suggest that every business should be concerned about security. But that doesn’t mean you have to lose sleep over it. We understand that if you’re to trust us with your data, you need to understand how we’ll protect it.
