Facility Security and Business Continuity Plans
At BioStorage Technologies, we have custom-designed security systems and business continuity plans to ensure the safety and integrity of your samples.
24-hour Building and Data Security:
- Surveillance—Around-the-clock surveillance protects our all-concrete reinforced facilities.
- Locked storage—All freezers and storage facilities are locked and stored within card-controlled access areas.
- Heat, smoke and motion detectors—On- and off-premises alerts immediately notify staff to reduce response time.
- Full lockdown procedure—In the case of a national emergency, a full lockdown procedure helps ensure complete security for your samples.
- Data back-up—All data, including our Intelligent Specimen Inventory Storage System (ISISS®), is contained on a hard-drive back-up, located off-site at a secure data center that receives top priority response.
Business Continuity Plan:
- Proven plan—We’ve considered every scenario and made extensive plans that are tested regularly with mock disasters.
- Back-up generator—Within seconds of an outage, power is transferred, maintaining sample integrity through continued temperature control.
- Equipment redundancy—Extra empty storage units are on-site and ready at any time, individually validated and maintained. All units are continuously temperature-monitored and have built-in battery back-ups.
- Guaranteed 24-hour resources—Resupply for diesel fuel, nitrogen and dry ice ensure that our business essentials are readily available.
