WHAT IS SHELTERED HARBOR

Sheltered Harbor was founded as a not-for-profit standards setting and certification body to protect customers, financial institutions and public confidence in the financial system when a catastrophic event such as a cyber attack causes critical systems, including backups, to fail.

Sheltered Harbor's standards supplement Disaster Recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) plans to help every participating organization prepare for and recover quickly from a severe operational outage, data corruption, or data deletion event. We promote adoption across the industry, support participants with implementation and ensure adherence through independent audits and certifications.
