BC Oracle data security policy
Remote DBA best practices by Donald Burleson
|
Burleson Consulting takes great
pride in securing all remote database access information and we
use industry best practices to ensure the safety and
confidentiality of all client access information.
 |
BC wrote the book on Oracle privacy,
and we take confidentiality very seriously. Whenever you entrust
your database to remote Oracle experts you need to be able to trust your
provider and know that they are using safe and secure methods for
protecting your data and the access to your database. |
BC is the USA's oldest and largest
remote DBA provider because we take great pains to ensure the
safety and privacy of your mission-critical database.
BC is proud to use state of the
art software and consultant screening techniques to ensure the
privacy of your data:
-
No foreigners - One of the most serious
problems with remote DBA providers is losing your information to an
authorized foreigner, and having no recourse under foreign laws. All
BC consultants are United States citizens, born in the USA, who have
undergone an extensive background check. Upon request, BC can limit
access to your database only to consultants who possess an active US SECRET
security clearance.
-
Secure Environment - BC takes your
confidentiality very seriously. Your central account information and
all client documentation is stored in a locked-down secured area with armed
personnel and trained attack dogs. Your information never leaves the
USA and it is only disclosed to BC consultants on a need-to-know basis.
All BC consultants understand security and follow industry best practices
for securing your remote connection information and we have never had a
security breach.

-
Secure access software - BC uses only
secure access methods for all remote databases, using tools such as
SecureCRT and Secure Shell (ssh) to guarantee your data safety and
confidentiality.
-
Database auditing - BC wrote the book
on Oracle auditing with the bestselling book "Oracle
Privacy Security Auditing". Upon request, BC can install a
complete auditing solution for your databases, providing reports that show
all data access, both local and remote.
-
Trustworthy consultants - Burleson
Consulting has one of the most stringent hiring requirements in the database
industry and all of our consultants are checked for good moral values and a
clean criminal record. BC only considers USA Oracle Professionals with
extensive real-world experience and unimpeachable credentials.

minimum requirements for remote DBA consultants. Our clients expect
world-class Oracle consulting, and our standards are high because our
Corporate clients have high expectations.
In lieu of an active US security clearance, BC
consultants must pass a background check and be free of any criminal
convictions (except minor traffic violations).
Further, any acts of moral turpitude (history of drug
use, dishonesty, lying, cheating, theft) are grounds for immediate
rejection, and all applicants must sign a waiver to disclose personal
information and agree to submit to a polygraph exam.
-
Secure control of your data - Burleson
Consulting aggressively honors your non-disclosure agreement and BC will
never disclose our relationship with your company, and never release any
details about your database, no matter how trivial. All information
about BC clients is stored in a secured environment without any external
access.
-
Internal Security Audits - BC conducts
periodic internal audits checks of our on-site client data, and all BC
consultants carefully protect your access information, never exposing it to
the Internet or sharing it with unauthorized personnel.
It's all about trust
Burleson Consulting understands the value of your
mission critical database and we take great care to guard your confidential
information and ensure that your information is disclosed only to trustworthy BC
consultants, and only on a need-to-know basis.
