As the European Union introduces strict directives like NIS2 and DORA, organizations using cloud platforms such as Atlassian Cloud must understand their responsibilities and take necessary steps to ensure compliance. Atlassian has provided clarity through its Shared Responsibility Model, outlining the roles of both the company and its customers. In this blog post, we’ll explore the critical areas of customer responsibility and how HYCU and Valiantys are helping organizations meet regulatory requirements, particularly in business continuity, backup, and data retention.
While many organizations have successfully addressed security requirements, the crucial aspect of backup, recovery, and data retention in cloud platforms like Atlassian Cloud, Box, and Salesforce is often overlooked.
The Importance of Data Control
NIS2 and DORA regulations impose stringent technical requirements across planning, incident response, and business continuity. For example, DORA mandates that financial institutions in the EU regularly back up, test, recover, and store backups separately from the protected system. This presents a challenge for organizations using Atlassian Cloud, as native backup options are limited.
To meet these regulatory demands, organizations must have complete control over their data, ensuring a secure and reliable copy is always available. However, achieving this level of control can be complex, especially with cloud applications.
