Open & Secure
Our clients’ communities are looking to collaborate and share information and data, but they also need to ensure privacy and confidentiality for users. Moving communications systems to web-based environments can pose significant challenges to maintaining data security. Heimes Communications embeds our solutions within highly secure software and hardware strategies that leverage the openness of web 2.0 tools while maintaining rigorous security protocols:
Software Security
All of our web portals are powered by Epiware, which is an open source software alternative for Enterprise Document Management. Epiware was originally developed for use in the United States Department of Defense as a strategy to allow authorized users to share classified data so that they could collaborate on mission critical projects. Using Epiware as the “backbone” of our web portals helps ensure that your mission critical data such as client contact information can be shared with authorized users and protected from unauthorized use.
Hosting Hardware Security
In cases where Heimes Communications hosts the web solutions for your organization, we partner with Verio, one of the top Internet Service Providers, to offer Virtual Private Server (VPS) technology. With VPS, a single physical server is divided into multiple private "virtual" servers. Each VPS is fully isolated with its own file system, processes, users, applications, and resource allocations. Furthermore, our servers are connected to the Internet through a tier-one backbone, which provides the fastest possible transfer of data, and housed in earthquake safe facilities equipped with bio-scan technologies to maintain physical security.
