Governance in Data Centre Security

Governance at MyHostingSpace is not just policy—it’s a structured framework that protects data integrity, manages access, and ensures accountability.

• Data Governance Policies: These policies define standards for data storage, access, transfer, and destruction, ensuring compliance with GDPR and other relevant regulations. They provide a foundation for how we handle data at every stage of its lifecycle.
• Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): RBAC and multi-factor authentication are enforced to limit access strictly to authorised personnel, ensuring a layered defence against unauthorised entry at every level.
• Transparent Audits and Reporting: Regular audits assess security practices and compliance with governance policies. This transparency ensures that security measures are continuously aligned with evolving threats and stakeholder expectations.
• Incident Response & Business Continuity: Incident response protocols and comprehensive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCP/DR) plans protect data availability and integrity. Our teams are trained and ready to act immediately, preserving operational continuity even in case of disruptions.

Compliance Standards and Certifications

Certifications validate MyHostingSpace’s adherence to internationally recognised security standards, showcasing a commitment to safeguarding client data with trusted practices.

• ISO/IEC 27001:2013: MyHostingSpace’s ISO 27001 certification verifies our information security management practices. This certification involves risk assessments, continuous improvement protocols, and over 100 security controls, covering encryption, access control, and system configuration.
• ISO/IEC 27017 & ISO/IEC 27018: Tailored for cloud security and privacy, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 set additional safeguards for cloud environments, protecting personally identifiable information (PII) with standards that address both virtual and physical security.
• Cyber Essentials Plus: The Cyber Essentials Plus certification, endorsed by the UK government, involves rigorous security testing, adding another layer of resilience against common cyber threats to our network infrastructure.
• GDPR Compliance: MyHostingSpace follows GDPR-compliant practices in data processing, consent management, and breach notifications, ensuring data privacy and transparency across all operations.

Physical Security Measures

Physical security is integral to our data protection strategy, ensuring facilities are highly secure and protected from unauthorised access.

• Controlled Facility Access: Access to data centre facilities is highly restricted, using biometric authentication, keycards, and PINs to verify identities. Role-based access controls further limit movement within the facility, granting access only where necessary.
• 24/7 Surveillance: Continuous CCTV monitoring and real-time alerts enable our team to respond instantly to any unusual activities.
• Environmental Redundancy: Redundant power systems, UPS, and fire suppression systems protect data from environmental risks, ensuring continuous uptime even during power disruptions.

Data Security Measures

Beyond physical safeguards, MyHostingSpace utilises advanced data security methods to protect data at every stage, from storage to transfer.

• Encryption: AES-256 encryption is used for data at rest and in transit, securing data against unauthorised access. Encryption keeps sensitive data confidential, even if intercepted.
• Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDPS): IDPS tools monitor network traffic, alerting teams to potential threats. Real-time monitoring allows for quick response, mitigating risks to client data.
• Backup and Recovery: Geographically separated backup systems with regular integrity checks allow quick restoration of data in case of accidental loss or hardware failure.

MyHostingSpace’s commitment to data security extends to building trust through transparency and client support.

• Detailed Security Reporting: Regular security reports, audits, and metrics provide clients with clear visibility into data security measures.
• Compliance Support: We support clients with specific compliance needs, such as HIPAA or PCI DSS, ensuring alignment with specialised regulations.
• Dedicated Security Teams: A dedicated team continuously evaluates and improves security practices, adapting to emerging threats to maintain robust data protection.
