Throughout our journey, we learned about the breadth, scope and location of our data, we started to manage it, and we validated that it was protected and secured. However, completing these tasks still did not ensure compliance.

This only encompassed the first 3 principles of the 5 lessons which we learned.

This journey brought us to the final two principles: Documentation and Compliance, as well as Continuous Improvement.

Lesson 4 and 5 can be brought together. Everything you do today for documentation, and that is automated, can also be used for continuous improvement.

First, it is important that each process in your environment is documented. The data itself might be classified and secure, ... Read more

I love data protection within IT— so much so that I am starting my 30th year focused on DP by leaving the analyst world and going back to the vendor world at Veeam. Here's why:

The state of the data protection industry

After seven blessed years as the Principal Analyst at ESG covering data protection, I've never been more amazed at the amount of innovation occurring to solve the ever-changing challenge of DP. Notice that I didn’t say “never-ending problem”. The greatest challenge here isn't that "backup is perpetually broken". It’s the expectations of users and the requirements of organizations that continue to heighten. This means that technologies that aren't visionary and innovative become lethargic ... Read more

After the general overview and the delving into the first and second principles in our GDPR journey, it is time to look at the third principle: Protect the data. As a reminder, below are Veeam’s 5 lessons or 5 key principles in the GDPR journey:

There are many Information Security articles about protecting your data. Implementing and ensuring data protection heavily relies on tools and technology. While tools and technology are essential in protecting data, it is not sufficient. Protecting your data comes ... Read more

Let’s continue our journey that we started in the previous two blogs. In the first post, we gave a general overview of Veeam’s journey to GDPR compliance and shared our 5 lessons learned. In the second post, we went deeper in the first of those five principles.

Let’s look closer at the second principle: Manage the data.

If you finished the tasks from the first principle and identified the personally identifiable information (PII) you own and where it resides, you can now start the process of establishing rules and processes to access and use that PII data.

The key questions here are: ... Read more

In my previous post we explained how Veeam, as a Swiss-based company with many European customers, needs to be compliant with GDPR just like many other companies that handle data for European citizens.

I also promised that we would share our learnings to help you in your compliance process. Our lessons learned can be brought back to 5 key principles:

Today, I want to go deeper on the first principle: Know your data.

The first essential step that you need to take is to determine if your organization has personally identifiable information (PII) of an EU resident. I have had several conversations with organizations which believed that ... Read more

The IT industry knows what change looks like, and the current speed is unprecedented. Businesses need to adapt quicker than ever, knowing that what works for their data protection needs now is likely to change in the future. As a result, organizations today are taking a multi-cloud approach or, depending on their business needs, they are moving data from cloud to on-premises, cloud to cloud or within the cloud.

May 25, 2018 is approaching quickly. This is when the grace period for the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is over and an organization may be penalized for non-compliance. Just like any company that does business with EU customers, Veeam needs to be compliant with this regulation, especially considering we are a global, Swiss-headquartered company.

Over the next weeks, we will guide you through the steps and effort that Veeam has been taking and continues to take, to ensure compliance. This is and will be an ongoing process that does not stop on the 25th of May. Our expectation is that these activities will continue as part of our ongoing business model. These efforts have included legal consultation, regulatory consultants and ... Read more

If you haven’t heard, Veeam’s 2017 results are in and the news couldn’t be better. We smashed our targets, achieved $827 million total bookings revenue and grew more than $220 million in a year at an immense 36% YoY growth. Veeam had the best year in the history of the company. We were confident going into 2017, we were even more confident at VeeamON in the spring, but our success has even surpassed what we saw as possible.

2017 has been my first full fiscal year at the company, and during this year, we made a number of bold moves. These moves included a change in our market focus, an increased focus on ... Read more
