The Ostix system is backed up every day to a different physical server, also housed in the UK. The backup data is held in an encrypted, non-human readable form.

If there is something that you would like the system to do, that it doesn't do at the moment, scroll on down this page, and request it!

The system has been written by us, Ostix Limited, by programmers on hire from ISArc Limited. ISArc is a leading supplier of secure web-based information management systems. ISArc writes systems under a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, so that there are no up-front costs, just a monthly or annual subscription for the service.
