Iron Mountain’s vital records storage lies deep underground to protect your most valuable assets.

Records Storage and Management

Vital records storage

Iron Mountain has a mountain … literally.

Your business must safely maintain essential records. Deep inside “The Underground,” as it’s known, is the ideal environment to store information and records you simply can’t afford to lose. In fact, at a depth of 220 feet, we like to call it “the safest place in Earth.” 

If you’re storing vital information anywhere else—in an insecure environment prone to damaging temperature and humidity levels, theft, and natural disasters, for example—you’re putting your entire business at risk.
