- Back up and disaster recovery capabilities that allow switching of services between data centers

Skills stores and processes all personnel and learning data safely and securely. To ensure we deliver this, we:
- Test every release of the Skills application with application security testing tools that are compliant with OWASP (the internationally recognized Open Web Application Security Project)

- Comply with all relevant UK/EU data protection and privacy requirements
- Adhere to best practice guidelines for keeping our system software fully patched and up to date to protect against vulnerabilities
