1. Secure Hosting Service
QinetiQ’s Secure Hosting Service is for customers

digital security services
• Service Desk Support
• Operated and

security-cleared
personnel
The security challenges faced by
organisations are well known. Threats
to networks and systems include theft
of proprietary information, financial
fraud, insider and outsider system
penetration and sabotage of data
networks.
Implementing an in-house function to
mitigate and protect against these
threats around the clock is a major
undertaking with considerable cost
implications.
Outsourcing to a trusted 3rd party,
experienced and capable of providing
seamless round the clock protection is
the preferred option of many global
organisations.
QinetiQ’s Secure Hosting Service is for
businesses and organisations that
value the availability and integrity of
their data assets and who need to
ensure maximum protection against
hacking and defacement.
The service can provide a complete
website or application solution which
combines the functionality customers
expect with the security and resilience
needed.

QinetiQ Proprietary Methodology
The service is designed, managed and
monitored by information assurance
and security specialists, trained and
experienced in providing a range of
information security services to highprofile government departments,
where the availability and protection
of sensitive information is a crucial
balancing act.
QinetiQ sites are physically secure to
List X standards. The hosting
equipment is housed within an access
controlled building compliant to the
stringent requirements of the MoD to
security standard JSP 440.
The security of the service is ensured
through the use of hardened Linux or
Windows® operating systems and
protection is supplemented by regular
penetration testing. We further ensure
the security of the service by deploying
our Managed Intrusion Detection
Service which is provided in
compliance with CESG Memo 37.
QinetiQ can also provide a number of
supplementary services such as email,
mail forwarders, Domain Name Server
(DNS) registration, SSL (Secure Socket
Layer) Certificate Management, antivirus and anti-spam.
Maintaining ownership and control of
site content is very important to
customers and our infrastructure
allows customers to upload their own
content using our staging server
application and to view their site or
information prior to release. The
success of a web site can be
determined by demand and the
QinetiQ service allows the customer to
have easy access to online statistics
and reports, which can help in future
planning or help predict peaks of
traffic to a web site. The flexible design
of the infrastructure means that
scalability is easy and it supports
burstable bandwidth to sustain those
peaks of traffic.
Scalable Solutions
We provide customers with three
choices of hosting.
Virtual hosting which is a keenly priced
and easily set up service, perfect for
customers who require availability and
security, but whose information is not
particularly sensitive.
Dedicated hosting can be deployed
when security is key and physical
separation is essential. This service
provides the physical separation
customers require and does not
compromise availability or reliability.
