Yes! Our platform is designed to be flexible and adaptable to changing regulations, allowing you to update compliance and retention policies quickly and efficiently so that your data management practices remain compliant as regulations evolve.
During data migration, we employ end-to-end encryption (AES-256) for data both at rest and in transit, guaranteeing the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information throughout the migration process. Role-based access controls (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are enforced to restrict data access to authorized personnel only. Additionally, we provide detailed audit logging, capturing file-level activities, data transfers, and access attempts, which are crucial for meeting regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA. These logs can be exported for external auditing or compliance reviews, ensuring full transparency and traceability during the migration process. We support secure file-sharing protocols (SMB, NFS) and adhere to data residency policies to further ensure compliance during cross-site or multi-cloud migrations.
We enable administrators to configure granular retention policies that automatically manage the lifecycle of data according to compliance requirements. These policies can be set at the file, folder, or system level, defining the retention period based on regulatory mandates such as GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific standards. When data reaches the end of its retention period, our hybrid cloud data platform triggers secure, cryptographic deletion (wiping all instances across edge filers and cloud storage) or transitions the data to a compliant archival state, using immutable storage options to ensure no modifications can occur post-archiving.
All actions are fully logged with timestamps and audit trails to provide verifiable proof of compliance during the data lifecycle and beyond, ensuring adherence to stringent data retention and deletion protocols.
