Summary
Why is backup alone not enough?
Backup protects data from loss due to failure or cyber attack, but it does not solve the problem of regulatory compliance. Companies need to know where their data is, how long it has been stored and who has access to it. Without a central information management system, the risk of violations and financial penalties increases.
Archiving in the context of regulations and audits
Gimmal enables control of the data lifecycle – from creation to disposal in accordance with retention policies. This makes it easy for organizations to prepare for audits and prove compliance with regulatory requirements. Automatic archiving rules reduce the risk of human error.
Gimmal’s key features in data security
-
Centralization of information – full visibility of all data regardless of the source.
-
Retention policies – automatic management of the retention period of documents.
-
Regulatory compliance – support for global standards (RODO, HIPAA, SOX).
-
Auditing and reporting – quick access to information needed during audits.
Automation and centralization of information management
Manually managing backup and archiving is time-consuming and error-prone. Gimmal automates processes, eliminating the risk of accidental deletion or unauthorized access to data. Centralization puts administrators in full control and allows them to respond more quickly to incidents.
Business benefits of implementing Gimmal
-
Protecting sensitive data and reducing the risk of cyber attacks.
-
Regulatory compliance and avoidance of financial penalties.
-
Reduce operating costs through automation.
-
Greater confidence of customers and business partners.
