Active Intelligence for Personally-Identifiable Information (PII)
New regulations such as GDPR and CCPA are requiring businesses to create new processes
You need new processes for:
The Right to Access - Quickly and Easily
With personal privacy regulations guaranteeing a Right of Access to individuals, businesses must respond to any access request within 30 days and provide full information on what and where the data is being kept, including within backups. With ioFABRIC, complying with this regulation goes from hours to seconds.
The Right to Erasure - with Simple Reporting
Access is not enough - individuals are now guaranteed a Right to Erasure of their personal data upon request, and businesses must comply. ioFABRIC's powerful search function also provides ability to remove (or replace) PII data while ensuring the integrity of the image backup. With all data logged, the ioFABRIC also creates a complete audit trail of the request and changes, saving businesses time and avoiding a tedious manual process.
Protecting PII from Malicious Erasures
Over 800 variants of ransomware now target and delete backups to prevent businesses from recovering. ioFABRIC’s unique immutable retention-lock capability ensures that backups are safeguarded from both encryption and deletion – accidental or malicious. By defining a retention period, backup files can be protected for any defined regulatory period.
