Sar-Box Compliance
Compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Regulations, the Fast and Economical Way

When the Sarbanes-Oxley Act established clear new requirements for the protection, retention, security and accessibility of financial information, offsite data storage became critical for compliance.

For most organizations, the first question was how to comply in a way that was economical and easy to implement.

More and more companies are finding the answer in the remote data protection and recovery services provided by NetMass, the safe data company. Online backup services from NetMass now play a major role in ensuring Sarbanes-Oxley (Sarbox) compliance for companies of all sizes (read case study).

NetMass solutions leverage the efficiencies of the internet to allow companies to quickly deploy an automated backup system that centralizes the backup of organization-wide data to secure, offsite data centers. There, it is stored and accessed in strict compliance with U.S. government regulations.

Organizations adopting remote data protection find that rather than being a drag on their resources, compliance with Sarbox results in an upgraded data backup infrastructure that has tangible benefits in the way their company stores, accesses and recovers critical information.

The NetMass service automatically and continuously backs up the data on business servers and computers via a secure internet connection, and then stores the data in encrypted format at offsite data center facilities where it is available for immediate recovery when needed. The service offers data recovery, system repair, file sharing and data archiving features.

The NetMass service protects data from inadvertent or willful deletion, alteration, or destruction of relevant information. NetMass remote data protection offers multiple levels of data security and rapid, on-demand restores, all without any investment in new storage equipment or resources. And it is highly scalable as new data is generated.

Businesses with multiple branch offices and sites (which have particularly difficult backup needs) benefit from the NetMass service with seamless protection of their data. Administrators maintain total control over the backup/recovery process for a wide variety of operating environments and devices, including servers, workstations, desktops and laptops.

Hard-coded security ensures safe data transfer and storage, and information lifecycle management allows you to protect data in the most convenient AND economical way throughout its life.
