Information security specialist Janus Associates, founded in 1988, has completed the intracity relocation of its corporate headquarters to 4 High Ridge Park by the Merritt Parkway in Stamford from space downtown on Washington Boulevard. The anticipated benefits straddle the abstract ”“ “less stress” ”“ and the practical: easier parking.
The company”™s new facility incorporates a boardroom that seats 24 and will be used to host client briefings on the current and future state of IT security and resiliency.
The new site”™s data center incorporates multiple levels of security, nondestructive fire control and a large-scale UPS system that will keep all data and telecommunications systems online for an extended period of time in the event of a power failure.
The building is off exit 35 of the Merritt Parkway and was chosen, the company said, “after an exhaustive search based on multiple factors including space utilization studies, security factors and data center suitability.”
Floor to ceiling windows in all offices overlook a large pond with fountains in a park-like setting. Janus said the new facility lessens the commute “for virtually all employees.”
Patricia A.P. Fisher, company president, said, “The new headquarters allows Janus to continue to offer clients the exceptional level of service they are accustomed to and additional space to grow. Janus has always been an organization that focuses on client satisfaction and employee longevity. Most of our employees have been with the firm over 10 years. The parklike setting provides a work environment that reduces stress while increasing productivity. This is something that would not be attainable had we remained in the downtown business district.”
Janus ”” janusassociates.com ”” bills itself as “the oldest independent information security company in America.” Company services include consulting in all aspects of information security, regulatory compliance assessment, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, data forensics, and Cloud computing. Additional offices are in Hartford, Baltimore and Austin, Texas.
