In today's threat-prone world, an IT solutions company had better be rock-solid secure and reliable. At Great Lake Systems, we've built our technology infrastructure from the ground up to go beyond the expected-higher and more nuanced levels of security and reliability, both in our physical locations and with our hosted services:

• Premier SAS 70 Type II data centers featuring layered security and monitoring.
• Network architecture to ensure maximum uptime, with direct connections into Canada.
• Discreet, interconnected data centers for robust failover capability that you can count on.
• Innovative service provider practices, enabling multi-tenant software solutions in a facility-based, security-oriented hosting environment.

Naturally, we also help protect our users against spam and identity theft, while offering complete support in helping you meet your regulatory compliance requirements.

We integrate security into our standard business practices. In order to support compliance regulations such as PCI, HIPAA and SOX, access to the data center is restricted to pre-approved customers. Any outside vendors are required to follow strict security protocols. We feature biometric access points and video monitoring of activity within the centers. All of our network technicians, engineers and service teams undergo background checks and are security certified.

SAS70 Type II audits provide you with assurance that Great Lake Systems facilities are keeping with today's best practices and standards. Conducted by external accounting firms specializing in Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, a SAS 70 Type I audit verifies that a service provider has documented controls. Type II includes Type I plus an actual audit over a specific period verifying that documented controls are effectively in use.

Great Lake Systems partner completed the SAS 70 Type II Audit for all five of our data center locations in Seattle, Everett and Bellingham. While we have always supported high security practices, customers now have added assurance that their information and data is safe with us.

We're in business to do more than just deliver a secure environment for your data and business applications. We're here to provide peace of mind. Our software systems have layered password and encryption protection. Processes and safeguards limit any individual Great Lake Systems employee from accessing sensitive data. Systems log access and log files are regularly reviewed to ensure ongoing security.
