In the digital age, safeguarding sensitive information is more critical than ever. At CIMS, we understand the importance of protecting cemetery data, ensuring it is securely stored and reliably backed up.
Our commitment to data security has led us to collaborate with a trusted third-party expert to enhance our security measures. Together, we have conducted an annual analysis of our systems, scrutinizing every aspect of data storage and backup processes. This approach ensures that we maintain the highest standards of data protection, providing peace of mind to cemetery administrators. By working with industry experts, we continually enhance our security measures, providing you with the confidence that your data is protected against any potential threats.
We are proud to share that we scored highly in our most recent evaluations, with no critical risks identified. Although a few minor adjustments were recommended, our comprehensive update last year addressed all these concerns and more, resulting in an even higher security score upon reassessment. This is why we enforce strict rules about strong passwords and other security protocols—to keep your data safe. We are committed to continuously staying on top of security measures, ensuring that your data remains protected against emerging threats and vulnerabilities.
One of the primary concerns for cemetery managers is ensuring that critical data remains accessible during natural disasters or emergencies. We address these concerns by leveraging the robust infrastructure of Amazon Web Services (AWS). Our data is backed up every night and stored in multiple locations nationwide. This redundancy means that even in the event of regional outages or catastrophic events, your data will still be accessible. Our commitment to nightly backups and widespread data distribution ensures that you can have peace of mind, knowing that your cemetery's data is secure and always available when you need it most.
Our nightly backups and commitment to strong password policies are just a few ways we safeguard your data. With CIMS, you can rest assured that your data is not only secure but also readily available, even in the face of unexpected challenges.
