Infrastructure
The infrastructure of our facilities provides a solid foundation for efficiently and securely processing millions of applicant screening reports annually.
The cornerstone of this capability is our proprietary electronic workflow system, which tracks each applicant screening research component through its completion, allowing unparalleled control and oversight of the process from start to finish. All our systems are supported by standardized hardware platforms and communications protocols supplied by world-class vendors.
We address the critical need to ensure the privacy and integrity of applicant screening information through comprehensive security measures for both our IT systems and our physical locations.
Access to our Web-based report management system is available only to authorized users through a multi-tiered risk based authentication process. Within the system, all transmitted information is encrypted to ensure it cannot be intercepted or viewed by unauthorized parties. Our network security is certified by Verizon Cybertrust Security, a leading risk management service provider.
Business continuity
Certiphi Screening recognizes the vital importance of the continuous availability of our services and has established numerous redundancy and security measures to prevent and protect against potential disruptions.
Our IT team continually monitors the performance of our servers and systems using a variety of detection programs. The team follows a formal escalation procedure to efficiently investigate and resolve any production issues that arise.
We’ve implemented redundant hard drives and networks for our servers; back-up servers for key systems; and multiple Internet connections and T-1 communication lines from separate providers to ensure continuous Internet connectivity.
Our multiple data centers operate in an active/fail-over configuration. Separate power and phone grids, and distinct utility providers support all facilities, enabling efficient transfer of our operations to an alternate location if necessary. Additional safeguards include backup power through Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and generators, and backup HVAC systems for continued climate control. And, we protect data centers at all locations from fire with FM-200 suppression systems.
Physical security measures such as iris scan biometric technology, badge access systems, video cameras, motion detectors and protective window film control access to our facilities, and further prevent potential disruption of our operations. Our 24/7/365 security monitoring system enables an immediate proactive response to fire, flooding or unauthorized access.
