Secure Los Angeles Media Vault:

• ADPSI's facility is built with multiple layers of security. Security can be thought of as both physical and logical. The security systems and methodology we employ are designed to make intrusion near impossible.
• Low profile stand-alone building.
• Alarm system with central station monitoring 24/7 and direct connection to Police and Fire Departments.
• Multiple closed circuit cameras viewing and recording all access points to the building, including loading area, main front door, lobby area, man-trap, rear parking lot, and interior media vault and office space.
• Steel media vault doors are 4-hour fire rated.
• Fingerprint access and monitoring systems.
• Door contacts and motion detectors throughout the building.
• Brick constructed building has no signage.
• Clients' names are not displayed on media.  All items are barcoded and recognized by our software system.
• Clients can determine the level of security/ authorization to be granted to their staff. Clients are issued authorization cards that are required in every transaction (requests, recalls, etc.).
• ADPSI's security systems are on a regular preventive maintenance.
• Unmarked environmentally controlled vehicle.
• Secure, climate controlled loading area for our courier vehicles.
• Secure Web access for your media.
  

Climate Control:

• The climate control system maintains the temperature inside the vault area within a range of 67-72 degrees with a relative humidity of 40%. This is optimal in the ANSI standards for storage of magnetic media.
• The system is designed to cool, heat, humidify and dehumidify.
• The conditioned air circulates 24/7-365.
• The media vault maintains a positive air- flow. That is, when the door is opened, air rushes out of the vault. This keeps the vault from being contaminated with dust particles.
• All climate control systems are monitored by outside central station for temperature deviations of plus to minus 10 degrees.
• Controlled electric static level of media vault.

Fire Detection and Suppression:

• ADPSI incorporates a complex control system designed to protect magnetic media.
• Heat/smoke detectors distributed throughout the media vault.
• Detectors are designed to detect heat, smoke, and the pre-flame chemical make-up of the air, thus detecting most pre-flame conditions.
• Environmentally controlled media storage vault equipped with FM-200 automated fire suppression systems (like those used in some of the world's finest museums), thus eliminating water and chemical damage caused by traditionally used sprinkler and carbon dioxide systems.
• As an organization concentrating on disaster recovery and protection of client information, ADPSI recommends to never sprinkle media with water.
• Exposure to fire is detrimental to magnetic media, but suppressing the flame with water is adding damage to the media.

Transfer of Data:

Our safely screened, bonded and uniformed couriers come directly to your site on your chosen day(s) to retrieve and deliver your data. By viewing the ADPSI issued ID card, our courier verifies the authority of the individual to release or receive the data. The data will be placed in our custom-designed 22-guage solid steel transportation containers with padlocks to protect your data from physical and thermal shock. These containers come in various sizes specific to your media needs. The containers are padded with anti-static foam for extra gauge security during movement. All containers include a solid steel padlock. The containers do not have the clients' names or addresses on them; they are simply barcoded for your privacy and protection. Your critical data is then loaded into our specially configured vehicles.

• Secured and alarmed cab and cargo areas
• Climate controlled cab and cargo areas
• Two-way communication
