Customers in regulated industries like finance, healthcare, telecommunications, and energy are required to validate their compliance with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, various ISO standards, and others. Compliance is a difficult problem area. Data must be gathered from across the organization and compiled into standardized reports and submitted to the regulatory body. Then, for any gaps identified, remediation actions must be defined and progress to rectify the gaps must be demonstrated. Lastly, compliance is an ongoing process that must be followed and enforced by policy wherever possible to avoid fines and penalties that could result from an audit failure. Additionally, many organizations applying for cybersecurity insurance face an increasingly complex list of requirements, so the problem field has potential to grow into non-regulated sectors. In summary: compliance is enormously time-consuming, difficult, and the stakes are high.

Continuity has developed an integration for Veeam which allows their customers to assess backup security for compliance with various standards. This would allow our mutual customers to easily create assessments of their Veeam environment in relation to a specific regulation. For Veeam's customers who operate in the regulated industries mentioned previously, this could be a meaningful partnership to help them resolve a critical pain point.
