Icelandic VIS Insurance Chooses Securstore/Asigra

VIS Insurance Ltd, one of Iceland’s providers
of non-life insurance services, implemented Securstore
UK Ltd Asigra cloud backup and recovery solution to safeguard its data.

The company has been a long-term Securstore customer and protects a large
amount of SQL data. It also entrusts a substantial amount of standard media, as
well as Lotus Notes, Exchange and Sharepoint data.

Stefan Hjalmarsson, senior system administrator, said: "For three years we’ve been using
Securstore’s solution. Originally, we had a tape backup system, but decided to
move to a modern cloud based option for safer offsite backup of our data. We
needed something that was both flexible and user friendly – Securstore matched
these needs perfectly. Strong support was also a key requirement and Securstore
has more than delivered in that area."

Improved international regulatory
compliance
Securstore’s Cloud Backup means VIS can restore data quicker than before
and protect every data type necessary. By using a provider that is ISO 27001
accredited, VIS is also compliant with all international data regulations. This
compliance guarantees the sensitivity and confidentiality of VIS’ data across
the organisation.

Hjalmarsson continued: "We’ve been
extremely impressed with the user friendliness and ease of use of Securstore’s
Asigra solution. Securstore has an excellent reputation for the onus it puts on
data security and customer service. It doesn’t matter if it is a weekend or
holiday, whenever we’ve had configuration queries, support requests or needed
to add machines to the backup plan, Securstore has solved issues quickly and
politely. The 24/7 support service has been a real indicator of the company’s
quality."

Secure, Encrypted Cloud Backup
Securstore’s solution has reduced backup costs and simplified VIS’
data billing. The company now has a clearer overview of how much it is spending
every month on data protection and BC. This clarity lets VIS better predict
future backup costs for its 250 employees. VIS also has the option to backup
mobiles and laptop data using Securstore’s lite client. Finally, having a
scalable system means data can grow with the business and at an affordable rate
that is easy to forecast.
