Assessment-technologies provider Questionmark, with offices in the UK, US, Canada, and Europe, has deployed its new European-based data centre to offer customers the security, availability, and flexibility of a cloud-based environment that satisfies EU data privacy laws and customers' requirements. The new data centre is ISO: 27001 and ISO: 9001 accredited and fully compliant with the relevant requirements of PCI DSS v1.2. Extensive security, redundancy, and service continuity measures ensure a safe, reliable, and trustable environment for the creation, delivery, and analysis of high-stakes assessments.

"Questionmark's European assessment cloud reflects our commitment to meeting the needs of our many European and global customers for whom compliance with EU data privacy and security directives is paramount," said Questionmark CEO Eric Shepherd. "Our customers deliver high-stakes tests and certification exams, and they simply cannot compromise on the availability, reliability, and security of their assessment management. They rely on us to provide 24/7 service, global support, service continuity, measures that target 100% uptime, and a decades-long track record of providing trustable results to clients worldwide."

OnDemand customers use the company's assessment authoring, delivery, and analytical technologies in a secure, reliable environment.
