Network Security

A World-Class Approach to Security

Setting a new security standard, Excell is implementing and following a stringent Security Agreement.

Network Information and Traffic Security

The Network Security Agreement establishes a series of measures designed to secure information pertaining to the operation of the Excell network and to protect the traffic crossing the Excell network from unauthorised surveillance and interception. In addition, the agreement sets out measures to control the routing of domestic voice and data traffic, and employ industry "best practices" for protecting the network against malicious attacks. It also ensures the secure storage of customer and transactional information. Accredited to BSI 7799 standard.

Personnel

All Excell personnel are expected to be familiar with the basic provisions of the Network Security Agreement. The agreement establishes a series of measures designed to ensure the highest integrity amongst Excell employees involved in sensitive network operations - beginning with a screening process.

Newly hired personnel are also required to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Screened personnel would include, for example:

• Those with access to network infrastructure
• Those responsible for accessing and monitoring communications, and responsible for data storage
• Those in control of transactional data, call associated data or subscriber information; persons who have access to sensitive information
• Those responsible for security and information services.

Corporate Governance

The Network Security Agreement establishes a series of measures designed to ensure that Excell's corporate governance is consistent with the goals of the agreement.
