Business Continuity

Data Integrity and Business Continuity

An important part of GDPR compliance is the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity and availability of processing systems and services. It is also critical to be able to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident. Datto Continuity and Datto SaaS Protection 2.0 help support deliver these services to you providing the ability to restore data quickly, in the way you need, for the length of time that you need to do it. 

Data Retention

Under the GDPR, it is important for you to determine how long you would like to retain your data. Datto provides a number of options that can be used to tailor data retention schedules. Continuity enables the local device data retention to be set. Continuity data retention in the Datto Cloud can be configured when selecting Infinite Cloud Retention (ICR) or Capacity Based Retention, 1-Year Time Based Retention (TBR) is limited to one year of data retention. SaaS Protection enables you to store data in the Datto Cloud for the length of time that you specify. With Datto’s proprietary Inverse Chain Technology, on Continuity, you have the ability to delete any snapshot both locally and in the cloud that you would like to remove. Deleting any snapshot or group of snapshots will not affect your other backups and thus gives you the ability to respond to client requests while still keeping an efficient and available set of backup data.

Data Storage

Under the GDPR, it is important to know where your data is stored. Continuity is a hybrid cloud solution designed to store backups of protected machines; one backup copy is stored locally where you have your servers and another backup copy is stored in the Datto Cloud. SaaS Protection 2.0 is a cloud to cloud solution, designed to store a copy of SaaS application data in the Datto Cloud. Datto products offer cloud storage in different geographic locations, including in Europe. Continuity and SaaS Protection 2.0 offer you the option to choose where you would like to store cloud data at the time of initial setup. The location can be changed later based on your needs.

Data Encryption

Data backed up from cloud locations like Office 365 and G Suite for SaaS Protection 2.0 instances and Continuity device data is encrypted in transit to the Datto Cloud. Datto Siris offers local data encryption as an option for added security on top of what Datto already securely transmits and stores in the Datto Cloud. Local encryption ensures that your data is encrypted at rest on the local appliance and in the Datto Cloud.
