Security & Compliance

Security and Compliance

The pillars that underpin every Fast2host service — from encryption and governance to physical security and accreditations.

Encryption

We protect data and systems with multiple layers of advanced technologies and best-practice security methods. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest — and, where applicable, also encrypted while in use. We use Acronis Cyber Protect for advanced endpoint security, secure cloud backup and proactive ransomware defence; Acronis encryption keeps stored and backed-up data secure at all times. We also use Email Authentication and Encryption Services (EAS) to keep sensitive communications confidential.

Governance Framework

Fast2host operates under a stringent governance and compliance framework — every policy, process and control is rigorously documented, audited and aligned with industry best practice. We are certified under the UK Government's Cyber Essentials scheme, developed by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and managed by the IASME Consortium, confirming our defences against the most common cyber threats including malware, phishing and unauthorised access.

Security Accreditations

Fast2host is ISO 27001 (information security management) and ISO 9001 (quality management) compliant, with our infrastructure hosted in our accredited Cambridge data centre certified to both standards and built to Tier III specifications. We also maintain UK Government Cyber Essentials certification and are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) under the Data Protection Act 2018 and UK GDPR — confirming our commitment to processing personal information lawfully, securely and transparently.

Vetting & Background Checks

All individuals working for or with Fast2host — whether employees, contractors or partners — undergo thorough vetting and background checks at the start of their engagement. These checks are repeated at regular intervals throughout the relationship to ensure ongoing trust and compliance.

Auditing, Logging & Alerting

Comprehensive logging, continuous monitoring and real-time alerting span our entire infrastructure, complemented by regular internal and external audits to ensure ongoing security and compliance.

Physical Security

Our facility is monitored 24/7 by CCTV cameras and a state-of-the-art alarm system to detect and deter unauthorised access. All areas use access-controlled door entry systems and are monitored 24/7/365 by on-site staff.
