Backup4all is FIPS compliant, meaning it conforms to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for cryptographic security.
This compliance guarantees that Backup4all uses approved algorithms and protocols to protect sensitive data, making it a reliable choice for organizations that require high levels of data security and integrity.
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are a set of publicly announced standards developed by the United States federal government for use in computer systems by non-military government agencies and government contractors. These standards are designed to ensure that computer systems and telecommunications are secure and that data integrity is maintained. FIPS covers a variety of topics, including cryptographic algorithms, data encryption, and security protocols, which are critical for protecting sensitive information.
Backup4all adheres to these stringent standards. This compliance indicates that Backup4all has implemented cryptographic algorithms and security protocols that meet the requirements of FIPS. Specifically, it ensures that the application utilizes encryption methods that are recognized as secure by the federal government, providing peace of mind to organizations that handle sensitive data.
FIPS compliance in Backup4all makes it particularly suitable for use in sectors where data confidentiality and integrity are of utmost importance, such as healthcare, finance, and government agencies. By ensuring that data is encrypted and protected according to federal standards, Backup4all helps organizations mitigate the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. This compliance not only emphasizes the application's commitment to security but also positions it as a reliable tool for entities that need to comply with regulatory requirements for data protection.
For our tests, we used a Pragma FortressCL SFTP server (https://www.pragmasys.com) with "Run in FIPS Mode" option enabled.
Backing up TO and FROM a Pragma FortressCL server using Backup4all passed the tests.
