Compare Security

We take a great amount of pride in supporting the latest security standards. We welcome you to view our dedication to security by checking out our third-party test results and compare how we stack up. See how we do at:

Immuniweb Compliance Tests
Qualys SSL Labs
CryptCheck
Security Headers by netsparker
HSTS Preload
Observatory by Mozilla

Compare our results to some of your favorite websites and let us know about any ways we can improve (or any new tests to try!).

Compare Cloud

Cloud pricing makes sense for certain on-demand workloads. However, when you check the dedicated monthly pricing owning starts to look a lot more appealing than renting. The average time between replacements for most servers is between 4-10 years. The following chart shows our usual one-time price of a hardware purchase versus the monthly rate of the three major cloud providers.

This doesn’t begin to touch on the benefits of hosting your data personally such as improved physical security, improved local latency, never having to worry if you’re online to access your own data, and the knowledge that your business’ foundation is set completely under your control. We’ll help you start your process of vertical integration by jump-starting your own IT department and providing support set on your terms.

We can also host copies of your data redundantly distributed off of your premises that are transferred and stored 100% securely. Even we can’t read them.

These are the closest available apples to apples comparisons to our “baseline” designs via our competitor’s online configurations (quotes circa February 2019 – check with us for updates).
