Things like CD-ROMs, tape backups, and microfilm last only about five to eight years if they are not stored in the proper environmental conditions, and right now companies are legally obligated to keep their records for much longer than that.
Legislation such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA has attached large fines and even criminal penalties of up to 10 years in prison for failing to protect vital business documents, medical records, and digital media.
It doesn’t take a catastrophic fire to destroy computer media and other valued records; fluctuations in temperature or humidity, dust particles, magnetic fields, and UV light can be just as dangerous and ultimately as devastating.
The complete FIRELOCK® Fireproof Modular Vault assembly endures a grueling 5-hour test under the UL-72 ASTM-119 Time Temperature Curve. The FIRELOCK® vault greatly exceeded previously documented levels of protection.
The security of server rooms is a hot topic among IT executives because data breaches make headlines in the mainstream media. Consequently, protecting IT infrastructure is an important part of a comprehensive information security program.
