Email: Exchange: Security

At Rescott, we consider security fundamental to the premium service we provide our customers. In fact, our business is predicated on our ability to offer a more secure environment than our customers could deploy themselves on-premise. Our comprehensive approach to security has earned the trust of users who rely on our hosted Exchange services every day.

Security features

Security controls extend across every aspect of our business including:

• Data replication

  In addition to regular backups, Rescott replicates Exchange 2010 data in real time from one set of premium hardware to another. This protects the critical information your business keeps within Exchange, even in the event of hardware failure or database corruption. It also enables Rescott to rapidly restore the full functionality of your Exchange environment should an issue occur.

• Multi-tenant platform security

  Multiple redundant, enterprise-class firewall systems integrate firewall, VPN and traffic management to prevent unwarranted intrusions and ensure only authorized users access your Exchange environment. We also use an intrusion detection system (IDS) to detect malicious network traffic and computer usage that often cannot be caught by a conventional firewall.

• Physical security

  We invest a great deal more in physical security than most IT organizations could ever afford. Each of our five premium datacenters (four US-based, one UK-based) is closely monitored and guarded 24x7x365 with sophisticated pan/tilt closed-circuit TVs. Secure access is strictly enforced using the very latest technology, including electronic man-trap devices between lobby and datacenter, motion sensors, and controlled ID key-cards. Security guards are stationed at every entrance to the site.

• Email security and continuity

  Rescott offers a full suite of products that provides our customers with secure and always available email:

  • Antispam: All Rescott Exchange accounts include SpamStopper™, our advanced antispam software, to provide the ultimate in spam protection at no cost.
  • Antivirus: Rescott provides comprehensive managed antivirus protection of all Exchange mailboxes, free of charge. This advanced software catches 99.999 percent of all viruses that could potentially infiltrate and harm your mailboxes and Exchange environment.
  • Content filtering: Exchange customers can limit email content to comply with acceptable business use policies, company, state and federal communications regulations.
  • Encrypted mail: Email between mailboxes on our system is natively encrypted. Clients can also use our Secure Mail to communicate externally with military-grade encryption of email and attachments.

• Dedicated security staff and employee controls

  Rescott offers a dedicated, full-time security staff, led by a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) analyst. Every employee, regardless of their role, undergoes a rigorous background check.

  Employee access to passwords, encryption keys and electronic credentials is also strictly controlled.
