SmartVault Security

Security is of critical importance to SmartVault, and we store your documents in secure, fully redundant SAS 70 Type II compliant data center backed by proven procedures to ensure that your files are as secure as possible. Our information and physical security processes and data storage environment ensure that your data is safe and secure at all times.

User Security

Your SmartVault data is automatically treated as private and confidential by default. Data is only accessible to others if you decide to invite other users into your SmartVault account and give them permissions to share your data. All permissions for sharing can be revoked by the designated administrators of your SmartVault account. All user access to your account is always password protected, and all file transfers are automatically encrypted.

Application Access Security

SmartVault uses established, secure password and privilege techniques to validate access to all application data. Based on user privileges that you determine and control, SmartVault screens for proper access permissions before presenting data. If a user does not have permission to view a particular document, they won't even see that the document exists.

SmartVault stores data at a high tier-rated, SAS 70 Type II compliant data center that assures the redundancy, power and network connections needed to securely host your data and ensure the availability of information when you need it. These facilities provide a 99.9% network uptime guarantee and 24x7x365 monitoring. SmartVault's infrastructure is contained in a Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 Type II Certified hosted data center with full redundancy and load balancing. Firewall management and monitoring services are used as well as intrusion prevention systems to prevent unauthorized electronic access.
