Level III(UPS) - For Server room: 6+2 KVA on-line (40 minutes backup) Libert make For each workstation: 500 VA on-line (20 min backup) APC make

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Management

Successful offshore initiatives are built on a foundation of rigorous business continuity practices, disaster planning and recovery processes.

Our Disaster Recovery (DR) plan has evolved over a period of time through mock drills and investments in technology that will assist in leveraging value for the customer and ensure a seamless transition through the recovery phase. Our DR plan comprehensively addresses following three objectives:

Prevention minimizes the probability of business interruptions
Containment minimizes the impact of any business interruption through a focus on keeping the business running at the highest possible service level
Recovery ensures a prompt resumption of normal operations following any incident that gives rise to business interruption.

Plan takes into account the fact that an emergency takes many forms, including:

Natural calamities, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods
Fire
Infrastructure disruptions, such as power or communications failure
IT industry-specific issues:
- Systems failure or crash
- Virus attacks
- Cyber crime

Security and Confidentiality

Binary Semantics has policies in place for security and confidentiality of client's applications, data and business practices. We address the security aspect of the ODC for the client in the following areas:

Physical Security
Network Security
Data Security
IPR and Confidentiality

Physical Security

Physical security of the facility is ensured through:

Round the clock manned security
Fire
Issuing identification badges to authorized persons
Controlling and recording the entry and exit into the facility by Proximity Card based Access Control System
Restricting access to the server room and other sensitive areas further through the

Access Control System

Proper verification and recording of all materials including computers, media and documents entering and leaving the premises by security personnel
Provisioning of equipments such as fire and smoke detectors, zonal panels, warning sirens and a public address system.
Keeping a copy of backups of all data and in geographically remote locations

Network Security

Network security is achieved through multiple means including:

Isolating the LAN segment
Implementing firewalls
Secured VPNs
Use of specialized security hardware/software
Multiple-level access restriction through passwords
Virus scanners at Servers and workstations
Maintenance of IP Security policies

In addition, Binary Semantics and the client can jointly evolve the network access guidelines and security mechanisms to address specific security requirements.

Data Security

While natural disasters cannot be prevented, virus attacks and hacking can be prevented largely. We use Trend Micro/ McAfee AV software, which are regularly updated and distributed enterprise-wide. Even in extreme case of virus attack, the containment mechanism enables the impact at minimum level and recovery is achieved through vendor support.

The use of necessary firewall and other security techniques prevents unauthorized access and ensures the highest levels of data integrity and security.

Backups of all data and systems are kept in geographically remote locations for disaster recovery purposes.

IPR and Confidentiality

We have documented and implemented practices to ensure protection of intellectual property and confidentiality of clients' data and information. IP Protection is governed by the following agreements:

Non Disclosure Agreement/ contract with client
Employee contract
Binary's code of conduct
Maintenance of IP Security policies

In addition to the above, wherever required, Binary's personnel working in an ODC adheres to the specific security guidelines of client.

Hardware and Networking

Servers

We have multiple rack-mounted Intel and RISC based servers. Currently supported environment includes:

Windows NT, 2000,2003
LINUX
Solaris
OS/400

Desktops

Desktop environment is Windows 2000/ XP and specific office productivity/ development tools. Any specific hardware / software required for the operations of the ODC can be arranged for and responsibility for the installation and management of the hardware and software resources.

The access to specific hardware/ software applications required in the operation of the ODC is guided by operation/ process requirements in consultation with the client.

Network

Our enterprise-wide gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN infrastructure supports data, voice and video communication for software development and business process operations. Network infrastructure design follows multi-layer switching approach, to provide scalable, fault tolerant, and manageable network environment.
