At Carpathia, we've oriented our entire business model around delivering infrastructure, services, policies and procedures that meet and exceed commercial, federal and Department of Defense (DoD) compliance mandates, and the IBX Vault is no exception. It was custom-built specifically to meet the mandates and requirements of our customers, many of which are civilian, defense and intelligence agencies.

Our Federally Compliant Application Platform (FCAP™) -- developed with over 10 years of experience with federal compliance mandates -- means that the rigorous security, certification and accreditation requirements are integrated into every offering.

Because of our Defense-in-Depth approach, the IBX Vault includes perimeter fencing, armed guards, IT and network security and multi-level biometric scanners. The data center is staffed with its own armed security force. In addition to escorting and monitoring anyone entering or leaving the facility, the security force also handles media, access control and background clearances.

In addition, the IBX Vault can be built out to support Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF)-level classified information.
