At XcellHost we
understand that
security is
foundational to
ensuring an
effective, reliable
hosting solution and
therefore it should
play a key role in
the early design of
your hosting
solution. We have
designed our service
offerings on the
belief that your
hosting solution's
security must come
first. To ensure the
security of your
critical digital
assets we utilize a
methodology known as
XcellDefense.
XcellDefense is a
practical strategy
for achieving the
highest possible
Information
Assurance (IA) with
the least possible
sacrifice, commonly
known as the balance
of risk versus
reward. This model
follows a
multilayered
approach in which
each layer is
mutually exclusive.
Security controls
are designed to
progressively weaken
an attack.
The security
community has
identified three key
categories of
paramount security
concerns: People,
Technology, and
Operations.
People
Within any
organization,
statistically,
people are the
weakest link in the
security chain.
XcellHost requires
all staff members to
undergo
comprehensive
background checks to
ensure your
confidence in our
team. Using thorough
security training,
our staff maintains
privacy and best
practices from
initial setup
through daily
operations.
XcellHost's support
and security staff
are certified
professionals that
are available to
assist you 24/7/365
to ensure the
security of your
solution.
Technology
Even with the best
business model, a
security flaw can
threaten your
solution's
Confidentiality,
Integrity and
Availability (CIA).
Our security
services suite is
designed to go
beyond industry
standards and
maintain the CIA of
your solution.

Operations
Operational Security
is best described as
a culture.
XcellHost believes
in and fosters this
culture across all
levels of our
organization.
Operations are the
actions associated
with policies and
procedures. Even our
minimum
facility and network
requirement policies
go far beyond that
of standard hosting
providers. Our fully
redundant data
center and network
infrastructure will
give you peace of
mind, even under
extreme
circumstances.
All of our policies
are designed with
security in mind.
Utilizing
XcellSecure Managed
Security Services we
can integrate your
policies with ours,
allowing for
customized responses
for any situation.
XcellHost can even
provide your
business with policy
templates should
your business
require them.
XcellHost employs
strong access
control measure
across multiple
aspects of our
operations. Some of
these include:
security entry
cards, biometric
hand scanners, thin
clients, two factor
authentication,
e-mail encryption of
sensitive data, and
PIN number
verification for
account access.
