Phil Mentesana, Delphi's CTO, adopted a security checklist that involved verifying i365's customer references, paying a premium to store its data in an iron-clad SunGard facility, retaining ownership of its data, and limiting i365's access to data encryption keys.

Because of the proprietary nature--and vast amount--of Delphi Capital's data, Mentesana insisted on a dedicated vault to prevent its data commingling with that of other firms. A dedicated vault manager also ensures "English-speaking, timely" tech support.
