Addressing the Compliance Gap: why Versino AG replaced native backup with GitProtect

Versino AG is an end-to-end SAP integrator based in Germany offering a comprehensive digitization suite that includes ERP implementation, consulting, custom development, and AI-driven automation.

Native backup limitations create major bottlenecks

Supporting multiple SAP-based cloud projects for international clients, Versino AG uses a complex ecosystem comprising GitHub, Confluence, Jira and Microsoft 365. The organization maintains a split between internal security and development teams, alongside external IT experts, while facing ISO 27001 and NIS2 compliance requirements. Before GitProtect, the company relied on platform-native backup functionalities without fully addressing the risk of data loss. It created serious security gaps and challenges:

• poor protection of the source code,
• risk of accidental deletions,
• lack of granular recovery options,
• compliance issues regarding ISO 27001, NIS2 and customer-led audits.

Implementing centralized, audit-ready backup and recovery

Versino selected GitProtect as an all-in-one platform to address the limitations of its existing backup strategy for DevOps environment, while maintaining a cloud-based setup with European data residency.

The solution’s centralized dashboard and monitoring, coupled with audit logs for compliance and immutable storage options, provide oversight without the need for dedicated server infrastructure. Other critical capabilities include incremental backup mechanisms and granular recovery at the repository, project, or item level.

Additionally, GitProtect can scale with Versino’s infrastructure and residency needs via flexible on-premise and cloud deployments.

Its broad portfolio of secured environments and overall maturity provide the flexibility and reliability that complex enterprises need.

Reduced risks and accelerated audit cycles

Versino AG backs up as much as 180 git repositories using GitProtect, along with their entire Jira, Confluence and M365 setups, utilizing 4-6TB storage.

Automation and centralized management significantly reduced manual backup checks and documentation efforts, as well as any security issues created through laborious, human-led tasks and DIY scripts.

Versino’s security team notes both decreased risk and a 30% reduction in audit preparation time, making ISO 27001 and other compliance standards significantly easier to maintain.
