Escalate Service Request

When opening a ticket via email, you should receive a new ticket notification with the following escalation instructions.

If you have a CRITICAL issue or need emergency after-hours support, REPLY to this email with “@CRITICAL” in the message.

If submitting a new ticket by phone, let the dispatcher know you have a critical issue.

Critical issues are defined as catastrophic or high business impact events requiring 24/7 engagement from both you and Protected Trust until the issue is resolved or mitigated.

You will receive correspondence from our support team for critical requests made after hours, on weekends, or on holidays. Also, note that professional service fees apply for outside normal business hours rates for non-critical, same-day service requests placed during these times.

After escalating using @CRITICAL, or submitting via phone, if you do not receive a callback or response by email within 30 minutes; you are unsatisfied with the progress of your service request or feel additional escalation is needed, please contact our Client Success Team using the contact information provided below.
