Unlike paper source documents which are typically scattered throughout a research site, all SureSource™ source data resides in a state-of-the-art data center featuring the highest level of security, safety, redundancy and reliability. Below are a few of the general features of the facility:
- SAS 70 type II compliant
- Ballistic-rate exterior, including doors and windows
- Man traps on all doors
- 24/7/365 security guards monitoring all cameras, doors and badge access
- Redundant off site monitoring of security systems
- All electrical supply is configured in a 2N 1 model
- Redundant utility feeds, transformers, main switch panels
- 2 Megawatt diesel generator, 1 week continuous runtime without refueling
- Moisture containment basins and sensors ensure no moisture gets in data center
While SureSource™'s source data remains under the control of the Investigator, it is maintained far more securely than it could be if it remained at the research site.
At the conclusion of a traditional study, paper source documents are placed in boxes and stored in warehouses, threatened by everything from rodents to hurricanes. However, SureSource™'s source data is transferred to long-term storage servers where it remains safe and accessible for as long as necessary.
