As a legal professional or law firm, you may be responsible for advising your clients when it comes to regulations or legislation that affect their data backups, recovery and archiving requirements. These best practices are the foundation of your clients’ disaster recovery planning, as well as your own.

If your clients are in industries such as healthcare, financial, retail, or government, regulations such as the following may apply as well as you:

• Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX)
• Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
• Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA)
• The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
• Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (FACTA)
• Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

Comprehensive Data Retention

BackupSilo’s secure cloud backup and data recovery services leverage Veeam Availability Suite and Veeam Cloud Connect to back up and recover documents, email, images, and any other files. In addition, these solutions reliably delete electronic records by date in accordance with pre-defined retention schedules, can filter recovered files by date to easily meet eDiscovery requirements, and help exclude privileged information during a discovery process. This solution provides maximum redundancy and flexible failover options, and is backed by our world-class Tier 3 data centres located in Canada.

BackupSilo’s secure cloud backup and data recovery services make sure data backup happens automatically and encompasses all sources of sensitive information. This provides legal professionals and firms with the peace of mind knowing that all client data is safeguarded, encrypted and retained to meet any legal standard.

With our services, all data, either in transit or in storage (at rest) uses advanced AES encryption. Password-protected encryption keys maintain security even when key-holders leave the company. BackupSilo’s Encryption and Lost Data Destruction (LDD) processes encrypt sensitive information on computers, including laptops, so no one can view or use it without the decryption key.

With the Encryption and LDD solution, even if private information is disclosed to a party during eDiscovery, they cannot view or use that information. This level of protection speeds up the delivery of requested electronically stored information (ESI). Our PC/MAC backup solutions offer this capability as well, and we even have options to manage data on other devices such as tablets and mobile phones for true end-to-end protection.
