Veeam Offsite Backup Compliance Best Practices

As the use of social and mobile technologies has exploded, IT departments have been challenged to keep corporate data safe and in compliance with regulations, ranging from Sarbanes-Oxley to HIPAA. If they don’t, they risk large fines, loss of revenue and even their reputation. Regulatory agencies want to know that your company has best practices in backup compliance in place to withstand cyberattacks, and other criminal acts from employees or external threats.

Business Continuity

• Compliance is essential for business continuity, especially in industries where confidential information is the lifeblood of the business, such as in healthcare, manufacturing and professional services. These days, it’s not a question of whether a breach will occur, but rather when a breach will occur. As new technologies and threats continue to emerge, your business’ compliance managers must be able to adapt quickly to keep up with the pace of change.
• Compliance activities need to encompass a rigorous approach to business continuity, so that when the worst does happen, you know the systems that keep your business functioning will continue to operate.

ISO

With ISO standards involving business continuity management systems, the ability to demonstrate the availability of business-critical systems in the event of a failure is vital. Through Veeam Cloud Connect, your backup and disaster recovery system will ensure that if the worst happens, your data is completely recoverable. 

Sarbannes-Oxley Act

Ever since it was designed to protect public company investors, compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act has become the de facto global standard for ensuring that electronic records and audit trails are retained and auditable for long periods of time and recoverable after a disaster.

• With Veeam offsite backup best practices, your internal controls and procedures are 100% audit-proof. You will be able to continually test DR systems and recoverability to document the tested recovery times for key business systems and processes.
• Your Veeam backup and recovery systems will provide a full audit trail and detailed test logs that can be kept for as long as needed. They will also give you the ability to test backup copies, recoverability and restore times in a sandbox environment, so you can run tests at any time with no impact on your production environment.
