Security
Testcertsonline.co.uk is very secure
Your clients download (just the once)
our secure reading software. The certificates
can not be read directly from a web browser.
You decide what user Name and Password to give them.
Having entered these, they are able to quickly and easily find and
print certificates relating to them.
Your competitors get no access to anything unless they are also
customers and then they also can only see certificates relating to
them.
Your certificates must be safely housed on robust secure servers
that are located in secure installations.
Having unique security encryption on all login details and each
different customer account has enabled us to now offer security
encrypting for all of the documents themselves as well. This removes
the weakness of complex expensive and potentially flawed encryption
systems when the key has to be passed somehow to and stored safely
by the recipient.
We have partnered with Web Fusion for over the last 8 years to
provide internet services. They are owned by GX Networks, formally
PIPEX before they sold their domestic services arm to Tiscali.

Operating system
Our Data Centre
Power
Our dedicated electricity supply was designed and
installed to meet our diverse electrical needs. Power is routed
through our lightning protection system, Generator changeover panel
and redundant UPSs before getting to the servers. This ensures that
all power to the servers is supplied at a smooth rate.
UPS
Two Uninterruptible Power Supplies protect our
network in case of power failure. Should the power to our network
fail, our high power UPS automatically kicks in to take the load of
all the servers and network hardware.Generator
As our second line of defence against power
failure we have installed 2 industrial generators, capable of
supplying enough electricity to our entire data centre and office
area for an indefinite period of time. This means that in the event
of a major utility power failure your web site will still be
available.Lightning Protection
To guard against the threat of lightning (which
could send spikes through the electricity supply and damage servers)
we have installed a Furse lightning protection system. If an illegal
spike is detected the system automatically takes this spike and
destroys it. This system provides protection between all sets of
conductors (phase to neutral, phase to earth and neutral to earth)
ensuring total protection and closing all transient paths to
equipment.Network Monitoring
We use Cisco 7206VXR routers and Enterprise Alpine
3808 switches. Should one of these network components fail, our
network will carry on with no degradation in speed or reliability.Fire Protection
Should
a fire break out in the data centre then our FM200 Fire Suppression System will be triggered, in seconds
FM200 gas will be released into the room extinguishing the fire.
FM200 is a computer friendly gas that will not harm computers or
leave a residue.
Air Conditioning
The data centre is equipped with sophisticated air
conditioning systems set at 20 degrees C and 50% relative humidity
to ensure the system operates as efficiently as possible. Water Detection
In the unlikely event that water leaks into the
data centre then sensors throughout the area will detect the leak
and sound the alarm to our network operations centre staff.
Servers
Our data centre is home to thousands of servers
including Sun, IBM, Compaq, Dell and HP servers.Sun Cobalt RaQ
We host more Sun Cobalt RaQs in our data centre
then any other hosting company in Europe. We have a special
relationship with Cobalt Networks (a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems)
that allows us to provide cutting edge support and service.High Security
Our data centre was constructed with security in
mind. Access is restricted by proximity reader access that records
all access to the data centre, and it is monitored by CCTV at all
times.
