Vault Security Considerations

The vault should be isolated enough from your main facility to protect the off-site data from the kind of catastrophes you are prepared to guard against.

Example: Vault Security Considerations

• If earthquakes are the biggest threat you need to deal with, the vault should be in an earthquake-resistant building at some distance from your main site or even in another city or a different seismic zone.
• If fire or local flooding is the danger, a storage room in an upper floor of the building across the street might be enough.
