Global's infrastructure is located in secure co-location facilities that have 24/7 manned security and advanced building management systems along with environmental controls. Critical servers and applications are monitored constantly to threshold levels and Global Payments staff is instantly alerted via our real time monitoring and alerting service. All connections to the financial institutions are over private dedicated leased circuits, backed up with ISDN lines and in certain cases VPN connections over the internet.

The network is designed to be highly resilient with duplicate and triplicate systems in place depending on the critical nature of each component. Global Payments are registered with the data protection commissioner as a "Data Processor".
