Under various government regulations that impact specific industries, protecting confidential data is now mandatory.
There is a clear set of best practices for protecting this data, collectively referred to as PII, that span data integrity, data security, data protection, authentication, auditing, and data disposition that can be implemented to conform to compliance requirements. Meeting compliance requirements requires a combination of product, configuration, and process definition and execution. Given a set of compliant processes, K9VAULT can be configured to meet compliance requirements for all backup environments. This is true for both end users who purchase K9VAULT for their own internal use as well as MSPs who use it to create a foundation for on-line backup services.
Standout features in K9VAULT like end-to-end security which cover backups and restores to/from anywhere there is a network connection, coupled with bandwidth-saving technologies such as an “incremental forever” backup approach and the use of data de-duplication, make it an excellent choice to manage remote office environments in a compliant manner.
Compliance is not a product you buy, it is a combination of product, proper configuration, and appropriate processes. Beware of products that support loopholes that cannot be configured around which can put compliance at risk, such as “emergency cryptography keys” available from product vendors. K9VAULT does not suffer from loopholes like this and, as such, can form the foundation for a cost-effective, fully compliant data protection solution for PII.
Governments around the world have already started imposing regulations and acts on businesses for data protection. For instances,
United States
- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
- Sarbanes-Oxley Act,
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act
Europe
- UK Data Protection Act
- The Companies Act
- EU Data Protection Directive
- EC Privacy and Electronic Communication Regulations
Canada
- Personal Information Protection and Electronic Document Act
Japan
- Personal Information Protection Act
These regulations have made it clear that it is vital for businesses to setup proper offsite backup policies in preventing data lost. Online backup solutions are the most convenient way to fulfill data protection regulations.
