Hosting365 Facilities utilize a proximity card access system with mandatory preapproved client lists and mandatory sign-in/sign-out procedures. Customers are issued proximity-cards upon each visit, after presenting valid photo identification. Customer names must be listed on a pre-approved client access list which is submitted prior to installation.

In the Centre, each area is protected by proximity-card lock. Customers must possess a proximity card to access individual customer space. In the event of a breach, Security personnel can disable the proximity-card entry system, denying access into the Data Center. All visitors and staff members are monitored in the Data Centre. Recordings are stored for 90 days.

All customer and visitor access is strictly controlled and all non-Hosting365 personnel are escorted continuously while onsite. On recruitment of personnel- Hosting 365 requires a full CV of previous employment and three relevant referees. Dates are checked and referees are contacted.
