At ProBackup, our mission is to provide businesses with secure, reliable cloud backup solutions. As part of our commitment to security and compliance, we're excited to announce a new integration with Vanta, a leading platform that automates the path to SOC 2 compliance.

This new integration is designed to help companies strengthen their security posture by automating the compliance tests that are linked with the ProBackup platform. For organizations working towards or maintaining SOC 2 compliance, this integration provides both peace of mind and significant time savings.

Why SOC 2 Compliance Matters

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a crucial standard for SaaS companies, especially those dealing with sensitive customer data. It sets the guidelines for managing customer data securely, covering five key principles: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.

SOC 2 compliance assures your customers that your organization follows strict protocols to protect their data. Achieving SOC 2 compliance not only strengthens security but also builds trust and credibility with your clients.

Cloud Backups and SOC 2 Compliance

Cloud backups are a critical component of any organization's data protection strategy. However, simply having backups is not enough—SOC 2 compliance requires that backups are secure, monitored, and managed in line with strict protocols. The ProBackup + Vanta integration simplifies this process by automating the checks necessary to meet compliance requirements.

How the ProBackup + Vanta Integration Works

The integration includes 3 automated tests that Vanta runs to ensure your backup processes are secure and compliant with SOC 2 standards:

  • Accounts deprovisioned when personnel leave (ProBackup): Ensures that user access to cloud backups is revoked when employees leave your organization.
  • User accounts associated with users (ProBackup): Verifies that all backup accounts are correctly linked to an individual, reducing the risk of orphaned accounts.
  • User accounts have MFA enabled (ProBackup): Confirms that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is enabled for all user accounts, adding an extra layer of protection.

These automated tests help your organization meet the following SOC 2 controls:

  • Remote access MFA enforced: Ensures that all users accessing your systems remotely have MFA enabled, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
  • Unique production database authentication enforced: Guarantees that each user has a unique identifier for accessing the production environment, improving accountability and security.

How to Get Started

To start using the new integration, simply go to the Integrations section within Vanta and link your ProBackup account. From there, the automated tests will continuously run in the background, helping your organization stay compliant without additional manual effort.

With this integration, you can rest easy knowing that your cloud backups are secure, compliant, and in line with industry best practices.
