Storage Guardian uses the industry-standard AES encryption algorithm. Your authorized personnel enter the key when installing the DS-Client software application on your premises. Because the Storage Guardian VAR does not escrow encryption keys, only your authorized personnel have access to the data.

• Data is always encrypted, compressed, and decrypted at your LAN location. This means that your data is encrypted before leaving your premises and remains encrypted at all times - even when stored off-site - until it is restored back at your LAN location.
• The DS-Client integrates transparently with your existing security access levels, so your LAN security is unaffected. You specify backup and restore permissions as required.
• Other security features include the creation and verification of digital signatures, authentication, backup set synchronization, user name, and password.
