IST Data Security

As the technology world grows more advanced and sophisticated so do cybercriminals. They have raised the ‘professionalism’ of their business and amplified the scale of cybercrime to unprecedented levels. Threats to control systems can come from numerous sources but to protect against malicious attacks it is necessary to create a secure cyber-barrier. 

 

Staying ahead of this threat is a hard game to play but IST plays it hard and plays it well. Because IST’s security culture places a premium on data integrity, our clients can feel secure that we are ever vigilant against breaches of any sort. IST is a SOC2 Type 2 organization, with rigid ISO Policies in place, dedicated to adhering to stringent administrative, physical and technical safeguard standards all working in synchrony to give our clients peace of mind as their data leaves their offices.
