Of Risk.
Data resilience cannot stop at encryption and access control. Procurement and Finance also need an answer for the absolute worst case: a hyperscale cloud becoming unavailable. Causes could include infrastructure failure, a regional or systemic outage, a cyberattack or an uncontrolled AI-related incident.
For this scenario, Onventis secures your data through geo-redundant off-cloud backups on European servers under European ownership. Separated from the operational cloud environment, the backup provides an independent recovery layer.
A backup within the same cloud improves availability. An off-cloud backup goes further by protecting against a scenario in which the primary cloud platform itself is restricted or unavailable. This adds a resilient disaster recovery layer.
Even in a worst-case scenario, copies of your data remain preserved so you can restore your ability to act. Because the additional backup is stored on European servers under European ownership and outside the operational cloud, it also adds protection from US Cloud Act access. It is more than a technical reserve: it is an independent safeguard for business continuity.
FAQ
What does geo-redundant off-cloud backup mean?
A geo-redundant off-cloud backup refers to data backups that are stored outside the productive cloud environment and maintained at geographically separated locations. This ensures that data remains safely recoverable even in the event of regional outages, disasters or disruptions from the cloud provider.
What is disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery describes all measures used to restore the availability of systems and data after a severe outage. This includes not only backups, but also processes, responsibilities and an environment that can be relied upon in an emergency.
Why is the off-cloud backup protected against the US Cloud Act?
The US Cloud Act applies to providers that are subject to US jurisdiction. If the additional off-cloud backup is stored on European servers under European ownership outside the Azure environment, following this logic, it does not fall under the same access path. This is precisely what makes the additional backup legally relevant.
