• Utility power is delivered from two or more separate supplier substations.
• Multiple cooling towers and air conditioning units provide uniform and redundant cooling distribution.

Physical access to Thomson Reuters data centers is tightly controlled through multizoned, multilevel access controls and monitors. Our data centers employ a third-party security firm for 24/7 security monitoring and event analysis.

Thomson Reuters provides you with data storage on our secure servers while you create and revise documents on Firm Central as well as later when you save, reuse, and archive documents.

All interaction with Firm Central occurs inside secure hypertext transfer protocol sessions (https). This is the robust encryption and transport standard used by banks, brokerages, and other businesses for all Internet transactions.

• Data is encrypted on our systems both in transit and for storage with the same strong encryption protocols utilized by banks.
• Data is stored in secure Thomson Reuters data centers located in the United Kingdom.
• Data is backed up every night on our proprietary servers.
• Continual monitoring by intrusion-detection and virus-protection software.
• We tightly restrict employee access to customer-stored data, require appropriate security credentials, and closely monitor access.
