"Elastio has been a game changer. It's not just about meeting NYDFS compliance. It's about knowing we're truly prepared to protect our business and our customers."

NYDFS Section 500.16 requires verified, ransomware-free recovery strategies. The firm had adopted a secure data vaulting approach: immutable, encrypted backups moved into a bunker account with least-privilege access.
But there was a critical gap. Backups were not verified for data integrity before entering the vault. The firm was vaulting data it could not prove was clean. If ransomware was embedded before the vault copy, the vault itself was compromised. The compliance posture was built on an assumption, not evidence.
Elastio closes the vault integrity gap. The Hunt Engine performs Deep File Inspection on every backup before it enters the vault, verifying that only clean data is preserved.
The firm achieved NYDFS compliance with evidence of verified vault integrity. The gap between "we vault our backups" and "we can prove our vault is clean" is closed. Recovery is no longer an assumption. It is provable.

Continuously. Ongoing verification ensures the vault remains trustworthy over time.
The firm achieved NYDFS compliance with evidence of verified vault integrity. The gap between 'we vault our backups' and 'we can prove our vault is clean' is closed.
The vault was immutable and access-controlled, but compliance was built on an assumption that the data being vaulted was clean. Without pre-vault verification, ransomware could be embedded in the recovery data before it ever reached the bunker.
