Security


Although this aspect of security is the responsibility of our clients, Gigas facilitates its correct implementation by including firewalls as well as putting a team of engineers at your disposal 24/7 who ensure that the platform is free from threats and intrusions that could interfere in the quality of our services.

Gigas collaborates with the maintenance of the logical security of its clients by offering a free standard firewall for all its Cloud Datacenters; this means that the first security layer is ALWAYS available from the moment that the Gigas cloud servers are deployed.

Gigas also offers Fortinet technology for its Cloud Datacenters; this is a leading manufacturer of advanced perimeter security solutions with proven experience in information protection, control, inspection and multi-layer traffic management, and strictly complies with the requirements of the largest corporations.

Gigas’ Advanced Firewall offers Cloud Datacenter users a comprehensive security solution using Fortigate VM that addresses the fundamental needs for protection, control of information, and access to Cloud resources.

In addition to ensuring the secure integration of the Cloud environment with the users’ original platforms and their mobility needs, Gigas’ Advanced Firewall allows the management of your specific security policies to be simplified by managing them from a centralized and comprehensive multi-platform.

Lastly, Gigas has its own engineering team, available to our clients 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition to ensuring the well-being of the platform, keeping it free from threats and intrusions that could interfere with the quality of our services, the team handles the administration of the Fortigate Advanced Firewall that our clients require.

Certifications


One of the main recommendations when choosing a cloud – and thus also the decision of where to store your business data – is to verify that it has up-to-date accreditations and certifications of recognized international standards

Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS)

Gigas is Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) certified. This certification establishes security standards that apply to all government agencies and public organizations in Spain, and service providers on which the public services are dependent on.


iso 27001

ISO 27001

This is the most commonly used standard when verifying that a company has the appropriate controls to manage the confidentiality, integrity and availability of its information and that of its clients. In order to obtain this certification, we had to demonstrate that we have a systematic approach and control in the management of every single aspect related to information security. In addition to policies and procedures for proper information security management, we offer specific security measures such as Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IDS/IPS) to filter attacks and intrusions, different firewall technologies that block authorized communications (but allow legitimate ones through), web traffic analysis and, of course, anti-virus and anti-spam systems.


iso 27018

ISO 27018

The double certification in ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 allows us to assure our customers that their data hosted in our cloud is guaranteed and will not be used for any purpose for which their consent is not expressly given.

Level 1 PCI DSS Certification

Not all clouds are the same. With Gigas Cloud PCI you are ensured the highest level of security for the critical payment data of your customers and, at the same time, we make it easier for you to obtain your own PCI. To reach this level it is necessary for a thorough audit to be conducted to ensure compliance with all the requirements required by this international standard; one that every company that carries out card payment processing must comply with. Failure to comply with this requirement entails substantial fines from any of the five PCI-DSS Council member companies: American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, and Visa.

RGPD & CISPE

One of the main recommendations when choosing a cloud, and thus also where to host one’s business data, is to ensure that it has recognized international accreditations and certification standards that are kept up to date. Gigas is committed to correctly complying with security policies in the matter of data protection by not disclosing any type of client information that may compromise the security of their data.

The company is audited every year to ensure that all processes with regard to this matter are treated correctly. Furthermore, the European CISPE certification code of conduct regarding the data security of our cloud solutions, coupled with our strict procedures to safeguard the integrity of data security, are a definitive guarantee for our clients that we have a reliable security policy in place.
