GSA Certified Safes

Security Containers, Storage Lockers and Cabinets

There are a wide variety of GSA Approved Containers to meet the needs of Federal Agencies, Contractors and organizations that store classified and top secret materials. Choosing the right security level for their requirements is often the biggest challenge that we help our clients with.

Class 5 vs. Class 6 | Which is the higher security rating?
This is one of the most commonly made mistakes by purchasers of GSA Certified Safes and containers. Most buyers and procurement officers understand the the Class 5 container is for the storage of classified and top secret documents and materials, it can also be used to store weapons, evidence, narcotics and cash. The Class Five Certification is a higher level of security than Class Six. Class 6 containers are for documents and materials up to classified and top secret - no other materials, keys, etc should be stored inside a container with this rating.

If you have specific questions, we can help. Call Toll Free 1-866-867-0306 today.

NISPOM & A look at Information Security Protection Measures

How ioSafe Hard Drives Improve Data Integrity & Availability

We often work with our clients to develop plans of action regarding NISPOM requirements, IPS containers and data backup, storage and disaster recovery. While on the surface these requirements and procedures can seem daunting, when they are broken down into attainable objectives, the mystery of these policies vanish and security and storage goals are met with ease.

In the private sector all of the the information systems (IS) that are used to capture, create, store, process or distribute classified information must be properly managed, protected and secured. Top priority is given to protect all IS systems against unauthorized access or disclosure of information (documents, data, etc) and to ensure availability and recovery of data in the event of a disaster. That said, data backup plans and a solid method for data recovery go hand in hand with NISPOM.

We regularly recommend the use of ioSafe hard drives to achieve a balanced approach to data backup, demonstrating improved security and data integrity as well as the ability to recover data in the shortest amount of time (RTO) and with the best availability (RPO)

When it comes time to implement ioSafe hard drives and systems into a NISPOM related plan the access control issues have already been addressed and the focus is strictly on backup, recovery and data integrity.

The procedures for data backup are documented in writing and sometimes include a tape rotation or archive if needed. By automating the backup process with ioSafe hard drives, regularly scheduled backups can occur incrementally during the day, nightly or automatically when any data is overwritten or saved.

One important note is that the data backups must be stored in an alternate location within the building or in an off site facility to ensure data availability in the event of a common occurrence disaster. When costs and budget are of utmost importance, the ioSafe hard drives serve to eliminate off site storage fees and reduce man hours for tape rotation $$$, all the while improving data security by eliminating the human element from the loop.

Pros to Backup Verification with ioSafe
By automating the data backup into a a disaster protected hard drive from ioSafe it is easier to verify data by simply looking at the backup logs.

Testing of ioSafe hard drives can be achieved at regular intervals and immediately verified for restoration more than once a year at a lower cost (less time and money versus tape testing and verification processes). The testing of data several times a year improves reliability and ultimately improves business continuity and operations.

External Hard Drive Review

The ioSafe Solo is reviewed in the Ottawa Citizen by Murray Mill. Like many of the reviews online, this is another positive review.

"PROS: Security, the ability to preserve and get back data in the event of a disaster, decent price, very quiet.

CONS: My God it’s heavy! My Solo was/is a USB-only device. There are many faster alternatives, but they cost a lot more."

Serious Fire Proof Safe Protection

If there is one thing that you should do in your lifetime, you should protect your important papers and any items you hold dear to your heart. You should invest in a fire proof safe. It would almost be like losing your purse or wallet if you had your things burn in a fire or were stolen in a burglary from your home.
There are some things that are just irreplaceable and some that are but it would take time and money. If your house has never been broken into consider yourself very lucky. If you have never had to endure a fire in your home once again consider yourself very lucky. There are so many things that we take for granted in our lives that when we hear the heartbreaking stories from others we can only empathize and it might be just the trigger we need before considering doing something about it.
If you have never checked out fire proof safes you will find that they come in all different sizes and are very easy to use and store. The difference between a regular safe and a fire proof safe is the tolerance of heat the safe can withstand. They are easy to use and once you get one you will be surprised how much you end up using it because you may start using it for cash and other valuables you keep in the house. The other nice feature is you can store them anywhere. If you have a small closet in the hall you may decide that is an area to place your fire proof safe because it is not an obvious spot for a burglar to look.
You can also look at a fireproof safe for safe keeping jewelry and passports. Y ou certainly would not want to lose your family's heirloom items or a passport for it is either a very difficult and time consuming to replace or a highly prized possession in the family. Fire proof safes also make a nice gift. It is thoughtful and lets the person know you care. It makes a good wedding or house warming present too. Do not be the one who loses their belongings in a fire when you had a chance to prevent it. Take the time and do some research before purchasing a fire proof safe for your home.

Class 6 Safes are NOT Fire Rated or Fireproof

MYTH: GSA Approved Safes are fire rated

FACT: The current spec. for GSA Approved safes and containers does not include a fire rating. The specification is for security against unauthorized entry, not fire protection.

There is a common misconception that Class 6 containers and safes have a UL fire rating. Quite simply, it has been suggested that top secret or classified documents and materials are better off being destroyed that to come into the wrong hands.

Laptop Notebook Computer Safes

For many home owners, college students and business persons that travel, laptop safes and car safes have quickly become a standard for security and protection from identity theft.

Notebook and especially netbook computers are a common item that is targeted for theft due to the portability. The loss of personal information and data is a risk that can be mitigated with the right steps. This includes password protection as well as physical security. Most laptop computers are never recovered after a theft, but keep in mind these tips.

Laptop Safes
A laptop safe offers several layers of protection from burglary or theft by locking your computer behind a key or electronic keypad. This single action makes it more difficult for a thief to take due to the weight of the safe and 'inconvenience' factor.

Most computer safes can be bolted down or include a security cable for added protection. The bolt down kits are a tremendous deterrent from theft.

Car Safes | Auto Safes
Many safes include bolt down plates for installation inside your vehicle. Additional plates can be used in a desk drawer and allow you to move your safe from car to office and vice versa. With a wide range of sizes available you can easily find a car safe to fit both your laptop and even external hard drives in the mobile environment.

Cable Locks
A simple steel cable lock can be used with your notebook computer to attach it to your desk, file cabinet or any solid structure to prevent theft.

Many of these safes include electronic locks. Changing or replacing the batteries is simple and by doing so every 6 - 12 months you'll never be locked out. All safes with electronic locks have bypass systems that allow you to open them with a key.

Fireproof Files, Receipts and Tax Season

Oh snap, you know it’s that time of year again. America’s favorite time of the year, Tax Season. Not quite as popular as baseball season, but equally important. April 15, 2010 will be here soon and if you haven’t already gotten your fire file cabinet in order, then now is the time! The majority of our clients are businesses, all of them bursting at the seams with receipts, invoices, contracts and purchase orders. All of them have filing cabinets.

We are very fortunate to have a well organized office manager who keeps all of our files orderly and neat. Each file is labeled with tabs and hangs in properly labeled filing drawers. She has cabinet after cabinet for purchase orders and another set of fireproof file cabinets for accounts receivable and accounts payable. One thing is for sure, organization is the key to a well run office! Even if our office manager is out to lunch or on vacation we can find any file at any time. This includes both the original on paper and the electronic version on our file server.

When the New Year is upon us, we move older files to storage, still in fireproof filing cabinets to ensure that they can be retrieved no matter the situation.
New fire files are not the most affordable for everyone. Many small businesses will find that our used fireproof file cabinets are a great choice for those on a budget. Scratch and dent files are often the only choice from many of our clients.

This KabaMas electronic lock is self powered and offers two person integrity locking (TPI). Two user access codes can be programmed to ensure dual control or access control where required.

Also available in 4 drawer or 5 drawer models, these file cabinets are built to DoD specifications for the storage of classified and top secret materials. Locks are available on a single drawer or all drawers. When locks are installed on each drawer the safe is referred to as a GSA Approved multi lock container.

NOTE: GSA APPROVED CONTAINERS ARE NOT FIRE RATED

There is a common myth that gsa safes have fire ratings and this is not true. The current specifications for Class 6 and Class 5 do not require a fire rating, only a security rating against forced entry.

NIMH vs. Alkaline Batteries in Electronic Safes

As daily users of the safes we sell, our staff is often asked what types of batteries we recommend in our electronics safes. No matter if the brand name is SentrySafe, GunVault, FireKing or Cannon if you plan on using standard alkaline batteries, it's best to choose Duracell or Energizer. They tend to last the longest and ensure that you can open your safe reliably and consistently. There are arguments on both sides of the fence when it comes to rechargeable batteries vs. AA alkaline type and here is our two cents.

Electronic Safes and Battery Discharge Rates
Regular Alkaline batteries when not in daily use hold their charge much longer than rechargeable batteries. If you don't open and close your electronic safe on a daily basis it is best to use standard alkaline (Duracell or Energizer). However if you open your safe every day (e.g. retail cash safe, jewelry safe, etc) it is worth considering the switch to NIMH... and here is the argument...

Convenience and Initial Cost
It's easy to buy regular alkaline batteries at any store or e-Tailer, they are affordable and priced to sell. If you buy in bulk you generally get some great savings and the convenience of having an extra set around when your old batteries die or lose their charge.

Long Term $$$ Savings $$$
Rechargeable batteries cost more out of the gate, there is no arguing that point. However, when you consider how quickly the rechargeables can pay for themselves you might consider making the switch for your everyday usage. Personally I use AA Duracell rechargeable batteries for all of my electronic gizmos and gadgets. From the wireless mouse on my office PC to my mighty mouse on the home Mac Mini, I find these batteries offer a great charge and by having two sets of four AA's I never run out of battery power (except those rare times where I forget to charge the extra set). Typically you can get up to 1000 charges out of your NIMH rechargeable batteries and this mean they pay for themselves in 5 or so charges!

Conclusion
At the end of the day you need to consider how you utilize your security safe. If convenience and daily access are needed, you can save money in the long run by using rechargeable batteries. If you rarely access the fire safe, AA alkaline will suit you just fine.

ioSafe Demo-Lition, a First Hand Account

Once again I was privileged to be part of the ioSafe Demo-Lition team during CES 2010 in Las Vegas. For the third time in Vegas we pulled off our live demonstrations with 100% data recovery.

Back in 2007 for the INTEROP IT Expo and Conference we discovered a sports bar off the strip called Screw Balls which would soon become legendary. The owner George was intrigued by ioSafe's idea of a "barbecue" and agreed to let it happen. So it was born, an annual live demonstration in Sin City at World Famous Screw Balls sports bar. The first demo included a select group of storage insiders including Network Computing Magazine and others. Steven Hill captured the first ever video of an ioSafe being torched in Las Vegas Moonlight.

In 2009 ioSafe decided to push the envelope with a full week of demos for the press, bloggers and industry giants during CES. The likes of Engadget, Gizmodo, PC Magazine, Wall Street Journal and more were on hand to get the inside story on the ioSafe Solo Hard drive. Over the course of a week twelve hard drives were subjected to fireproof and waterproof tests with 100% data recovery. The demo was held off the strip at a private location where 'barbecue' scenarios can be shown in full effect. The video below shows the 2009 test in full.

The only way to top 2009 was to go bigger in 2010. That was accomplished with the introduction of the ioSafe SSD solid state hard drive. This external drive is fire and waterproof just like the entry level Solo, however it now offers crushproof and shockproof protection. The internal SSD is wrapped in ArmorPlate steel and can withstand drop, shock and vibration. The product demonstration brought us back to Screw Balls, this time with an excavator and high pressure water truck.

A 35,000 lb. excavator became the centerpiece of the demonstration and product review showcase. This allowed CEO Robb Moore to not only drop the SSD drive from 20+ feet but also crush it into the pavement. I assisted with the setup both prior to and during the live product reviews. Six demonstrations were held throughout CES 2010 with 100% success. Data was recovered from each SSD drive that underwent the stress tests.

For the last five years we have been deploying and setting up ioSafe hard drives and systems in IT environments of all types. This includes Linux, Windows and even some AIX environments. It's been a great ride thus far and I am quite proud to be part of the ioSafe team. I look forward to 2010 and continued success with a great product.

Military Grade Hard Drives for the Computer

Rugged computer hard drives are a must for everyone who works in the field doing research or business operations. Protecting data from accidental drop, shock and vibration are paramount to data integrity.

There are several manufacturers that make rugged external hard drives as well as portable drives. One of the most reputable brand names in the military grade market is Olixir or Olixer (mispelled) engineer high end flash drives, solid state external disks as well as custom computer towers that offer extreme duty protection from accidental drop or impact.

Recently ioSafe debuted an SSD drive that compares to the Olixir in that it can withstand shock and vibration without data loss. The ArmorPlate military grade steel case on the ioSafe drive also features fireproof and waterproof layers to protect from data disaster of all type.

Both brands have attractive features and prices and take data storage very serious. Olixir stands out in the portable hard drive arena and the ioSafe brand is now very well known and trusted in the military spec market.
