The GRC Group’s Support Level Agreement

The GRC Group is committed to providing 100 percent availability of its Internet site(s). We have implemented safeguards to notify us in the event of loss of Internet connectivity and of hardware failures. Even with these safeguards in place, loss of connectivity or hardware failure can still occur. For this reason, the GRC Group cannot "guarantee" its Internet connectivity, nor can we be responsible for lost or delayed requests, email, or content.

Use of Cookies and IP addresses

We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. We also use cookies to maintain user session identity, and, in some non-member areas, to store your username and password locally for ease of access.

"Cookies" are small pieces of information that are stored by your browser on your computer's hard drive. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but if you prefer, you can edit your browser options to block them in the future.

A unique number called an IP address identifies every computer on the Internet. Each time you connect to the Internet, your machine is assigned an IP address. An IP address is a number that identifies each sender or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the Internet.
