13. Physical and Environmental Security

At Thru, we prioritize the physical and environmental security of our infrastructure to ensure the highest level of protection for our customers' data. As we leverage Microsoft Azure for our data center needs, we benefit from their physical security measures while focusing on securing our own office environments and operations.

13.1      Azure Data Centers

• We rely on Microsoft Azure's state-of-the-art data centers, which employ rigorous physical security controls.

• Azure's facilities feature multiple layers of physical security, including biometric access controls, 24/7 video surveillance, and professional security staff.

• Environmental controls in Azure data centers include redundant power systems, climate control, and fire suppression systems.

13.2      Thru Office Security

• Access to our offices is restricted through electronic access control systems and monitored entrances.

• Visitors must sign in and are escorted by employees.

• Surveillance cameras are strategically placed throughout our facilities.

13.3      Employee Access Control

• We enforce a strict access policy based on the principle of least privilege.

• Regular access reviews ensure that only authorized personnel have access to sensitive areas.

13.4      Asset Management

• All company assets, including laptops and mobile devices, are tracked and managed through a comprehensive asset management system.

• Strict policies govern the use and security of mobile devices that may access company data.

13.5      Remote Work Security

• We have implemented robust security measures for employees working remotely, including VPN usage and endpoint security software.

By leveraging Azure's secure data centers and implementing our own stringent physical security measures, we ensure that both our infrastructure and operations are protected against physical threats, providing a secure foundation for our Managed File Transfer services.
