3 A History of Service Where You Store Your Backup Media Matters Companies that rely on tape for long-term storage or primary disaster recovery must depend on an experienced vendor to assure data integrity. Choosing the right storage provider is critical to protecting your company against a catastrophe you hope will never happen. The industry has established standards to define effective disaster preparedness. These can be used to help evaluate the claims of storage providers and determine the best solution for your company. When you compare the facilities, processes and experience of media storage providers, one company consistently rises to the top: First Federal Corporation. First Federal Trusted for Over 30 Years By Companies Like Yours Serving commercial businesses and government agencies since 1982, First Federal offers clients the security of independently certified media vaults not glorified warehouses. Designed specifically for storage of magnetic media, our purpose-built facilities meet the most stringent government and industry standards for data protection and security. Based in the Mid-Atlantic region, First Federal serves clients across the US through strategic partnerships with key media storage providers. First Federal can support you with a storage solution tailored to meet your needs. Off-site storage and delivery is available as a standalone service or can be one component of a fully integrated disaster recovery solution provided by our parent organization, Recovery Point Systems, Inc. Recovery Point offers a comprehensive suite of disaster recovery and business continuity services, including hot site, cold site and work area recovery services; cloud backup and recovery; managed hosting, colocation and disaster recovery planning.

5 Independently Certified, Safe and Secure Dedicated exclusively to the protection of computer and digital media, First Federal s environmentally controlled, high-security vaults are an essential component in the most secure network of off-site storage facilities in the Mid-Atlantic region. Our primary facilities are located in Gaithersburg, MD and Bethlehem, PA. First Federal s vaults are independently certified to meet a higher combination of physical security, fire protection, environmental control and magnetic shielding standards than any others in the nation. Equipped with fully redundant electrical and mechanical services and reserve power generation, our facilities are designed and built to assure uninterrupted operations and security. Physical Security First Federal s off-site media storage vaults are situated in single-story, unmarked, secure sites designed to eliminate single-point-of-failure risks in any critical service area. Static Magnetic Field Protection Continuous ferromagnetic plating creates fully shielded enclosures that meet NIST standards for protecting magnetic media against erasure by static magnetic fields. Fire Security First Federal s off-site media storage vaults are built and independently certified to the NFPA hour fire resistance standard. Fire detection, suppression and alarm systems for media storage vaults are independent of those protecting the balance of the facilities. Environmental Control Advanced environmental controls maintain correct temperature, humidity and positive static air pressure inside each vault. High efficiency filters and central vacuum systems keep interior air free of contaminants, while moisture-resistant epoxy membrane barriers seal each vault enclosure to further protect client media. Electronic Security Redundant, high-grade electronic security systems to manage badging and facility access are provided and are suitable for both commercial and secure government clients. Reserve Power In the event of a utility failure, the full building electrical load is automatically transferred to standby generator power provisioned with a one-week, onsite fuel supply.

6 Fully Compliant with Key Industry Standards Our purpose-built facilities meet and exceed stringent government and industry standards for data protection and security. First Federal maintains full compliance with key standards, including: PCI First Federal is independently certified to meet Payment Card Industry (PCI) Council Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Version 2.0 as of November 2013 by a listed PCI auditor. Clients may request a copy of the full PCI audit report. SSAE 16 (SOC2) First Federal annually publishes a fully compliant SSAE 16 SOC2 report. SOC2 audits replace the former SAS 70 Type II standard, improving requirements for service providers to demonstrate that their internal controls relating to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality as well as the privacy of their systems meet pre-defined principles and criteria established by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Trust Services. SOC2 has become the objective certification standard for offsite data storage service providers. Clients may request a copy of First Federal s October 2013 full report. In 2012, The 451 Analyst Group recognized Recovery Point as one of the few vendors that can support both legacy (tape) and emerging application architectures with extreme recovery point objectives (RPO) and recovery time objectives (RTO) demanded by mission critical applications. First Federal s vaults and facilities are independently certified to meet a higher combination of physical security, fire protection and magnetic shielding standards than other competitors. NARA First Federal is compliant with National Archives and Records Administration 36 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 1234 Certification.

7 Combining People, Processes and Technology Assuring the Integrity and Security of Your Data CMS: Improves End-to-End Media Management Managing your inventory of stored media and maintaining a reliable chain of custody are critical to data integrity. Clients are challenged to maintain data integrity as the volume of stored media increases. Lower Your Storage Costs. Pay only for actual storage used, not empty slots. Reduce Discrepancies. Verify each shipment and contents when the transaction takes place. First Federal meets this challenge by providing clients with a comprehensive online media management portal built on our proprietary Client Media System (CMS). Provided to all First Federal clients at no charge, barcode-based CMS eliminates paper transmittal forms, reduces errors and simplifies inventory management to create a fully documented, real-time, chainof-custody audit trail for all media leaving or entering our facilities. Enhance Library Performance. Easily import your existing reports. Scan incoming media directly into your CMS database. Increase Audit Accountability. Enjoy up-tothe-minute control of your off-site inventory. Manage Multiple Accounts. As your online interface to your off-site storage program, CMS lets you transmit updates to your off-site inventory database and critical disaster recovery plan documentation directly to First Federal.

8 Manage Multiple Accounts with CMS The CMS system was developed to integrate data from multiple locations and provide a consistent service across all sites for efficient reconciliation of data into a centralized interface. Authorized clients with senior privileges can access the searchable web-based tracking system for a global view and search across all of their sites. Example of CMS Global View

9 Transporting Media Securely, Around the Clock Because you may need access to your media at any time, First Federal provides scheduled rotation and two-hour emergency delivery services 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. When your media is ready to be picked up or delivered, First Federal uses its own trained and bonded couriers operating its own climate-controlled, unmarked vehicles to perform secure transportation. Standard media containers, constructed of 22 gauge or heavier steel, are included at no charge. Customized equipment is also available. Couriers receive extensive training in First Federal s advanced security procedures. Couriers are required to verify client ID badges at every pick-up and delivery event. First Federal will issue a tamper-resistant photo ID badge to each of your employees participating in the media storage program. These ID badges contain a security code used to confirm the authority of the holder to accept or disburse media. CMS helps you to help prevent unauthorized media access with easy-to-apply rules that let you restrict any employee s media transfer permissions based on time of day or type of activity. Barcode capture enters every transfer into your CMS inventory for the most up-to-date audit trail and chain of custody.
