GitProtect helps Noteable protect repos and metadata and meet SOC 2 requirements

Challenge

Noteable is a young company, which was founded in 2020. They are proud to be an example of a remote-company that works from different parts of the USA. Their aim is to help enterprises in modern collaboration and cooperation. With their data platform they encourage teams to work together by using and visualizing data in new ways. As a company that works with information, they understood from the early beginning how important it is to protect their repositories along with all metadata. This was also a requirement for their SOC 2 certification. They started searching for a solution compatible with their S3 buckets as they are essential to the company disaster recovery plan. Despite the ability to backup data, they needed to find a solution that could permit them to make custom backup plans for each of their repositories with flexible retention and, consequently, customized recovery at an affordable price.

Solution

Understanding the necessity to back up all the company’s repositories and metadata to S3 bucket, Noteable has chosen GitProtect Cloud Enterprise to help them to meet SOC 2 requirements and complete their Disaster Recovery plan. Thus, the solution has become an essential part of the company’s backup policy. They found it convenient to specify the configurations while creating backup plans for a particular repository and the ability to customize the recovery process. Another advantage was a management console which allows them to assign licenses to specific repositories they need to protect.

“GitProtect gives us the ability to customize our backup plans and secure our GitHub repositories in a reliable, quick and affordable way.“
