How Zerto Can Help You to

Meet Compliance

CHALLENGE

Managing Regulations in a Cohesive Way

Ensuring that your organization’s software products, services, and overall IT infrastructure comply with the multitude of new and shifting regulations is paramount.

Besides finding the right balance between compliance and innovation, your compliance efforts must have some level of coordination and alignment between your organization’s general counsel, and the CIO and CISO teams, as all these teams deal with IT compliance and contribute to making the organization compliant overall.

Translating Regulations into IT Requirements

Establishing a strong collaboration with your organization’s legal and compliance function is essential. This team’s responsibility extends to compliance with laws and regulations in general, including areas related to technology, cybersecurity, and data privacy. They can help identify regulations that demand action from IT ans the security team.

Sharing Responsibility and Adopting Common Objectives

Both the security and IT Ops teams share the responsibility of keeping the operations running during a cyberattack or another type of disruption. Most regulations focus on mitigating and minimizing the effects of these types of events.

Security and IT Ops teams have other common goals as well, such as reducing the number of vendors and solutions used and optimizing staff workloads.

Demonstrating Compliance

Building architecture and establishing processes that enable compliance is only one part of the equation; you also need to show that it delivers. Testing and reporting on your cyber recovery and disaster recovery plans is the best way to build readiness and demonstrate that you can meet compliance requirements.

What You Need

A Comprehensive DR Solution for SecOps, IT Ops, and Security

Meeting compliance for cyber and IT resilience is a multi-faceted endeavor. It requires finding vendors and solutions that can deliver against SecOps shared responsibilities and goals as well as meet the dedicated needs for each respective team.

Here are some of the key elements you want to find in such a multi-role solution. And the more it combines effectively, the higher your chances of reducing complexity and streamline operations.

Rapid Recovery with Minimal Downtime and Data Loss

Get recovery operations for both disaster and cyberattack scenarios that leverage shared workflows and provide fast RTOs and low RPOs.

Ease of Use and Automation

Find a solution that can deliver against each team’s common goals for efficiency, simplification, automation, ease of use, and integrations.

Non-disruptive Testing

Test and report your DR and cyber recovery plans. Cover IT Ops testing requirements for patch management as well as application updates and upgrades.

Integrating Security Features and Capabilities

Select vendors and solutions with strong security features that guarantee the integrity of the entire infrastructure. Prioritize solutions that add to your security capabilities and can integrate with your security solutions such as SIEM or SOAR.

“Zerto definitely helps our engineers sleep better at night because we know that we can meet our RPO. We have an immediate button if we have to do a restore. Sometimes, we look in Zerto first rather than having to dig out of backup. That is probably Zerto's highest value-add.”

Sr Infrastructure Engineer, Insurance company

“The near-synchronous replication is awesome. When you get hit by a cyberattack, you never know where the clean VM resides, and at what point in time it actually exists. Having the ability to find the point in time when we are clean is a good thing.”

Mark Boudreau, System Engineer at University of Nebraska

What Zerto Offers You

Fast Recovery for Disaster and

Cyber Recovery

Zerto enables organizations to recover from ransomware—and other natural or man-made disasters—with the lowest RPOs and fastest RTOs in the industry.

This helps meet regulatory requirements for mitigating and minimizing disruptions to business continuity in various industries.

Minimal Data Loss

Zerto CDP protects your data and generates a continuous stream of checkpoints, often only seconds apart from each other, for you to recover from. This translates into RPOs of seconds.

Rapid Restore Operations

Recover entire sites, applications, and VMs in just a few clicks. Simply select a checkpoint and the simple, automated Zerto workflows do the rest. This is how Zerto delivers the fastest RTOs in the industry.

Find the Most Recent Recovery Point Quickly

Due to the granularity of the checkpoints generated by Zerto CDP, it is easy to find which recovery point is closest to the moment when a disaster occurred. In the case of a ransomware attack, Zerto real-time encryption detection flags the checkpoints with suspected encryption, making it quick and easy to restore good, clean data with the least amount of data lost.

what our customers say

“We see the biggest ROI from Zerto's real-time test environment. If we want to do a proof of concept on a hundred servers, we can spin them up within a few hours and have them ready to start testing stuff with real data to see how that might look if we were to deploy that into production. It's an excellent, accurate test environment that we don't need to maintain.”


Sr Systems Engineer, Construction company

“Before, the [DR] testing would take an entire weekend and multiple departments in order to complete it. Now we're finishing our testing in a matter of hours.”

Ryan Schader, Senior System Engineer,

Financial Services firm

“Zerto is great at DR testing. We can spin off critical VMs or an entire environment pretty quickly and have users test against this copy with no production environment impact.”

Giovanni Golinelli, Hybrid IT Architect, Quanture Spa

On-Demand Cloning for Testing

Easily spin up your environment or applications to create self-serve, high-fidelity clones to test and validate security patches or test software and application updates or upgrades.

No Impact on Production

Since testing occurs in its own separate sandbox, it has no impact on replication or protection status and can be performed at any time.

Simple, Automated Failover Testing

Test failover in only three steps. With just a few clicks, run a failover simulation for your entire datacenter or just a single application. Customize your test using APIs and empower any team member to safely and confidently run a test.

Powerful Post-Test Operations

Generate failover test reports that can be used for compliance auditing. Alternatively, any data generated during a test can be easily and securely deleted.

“Our IT systems are at the heart of our services, so protecting our systems and the data of our individuals with Zerto is vital. We recently tested Zerto 10 and believe that real-time ransomware detection with help us deliver even greater protection from cyber threats.”

IT Director, Healthcare industry
