The ultimate Azure DevOps Protection

Your Azure DevOps repositories contain essential data, but what about the metadata tied to your projects? Think of build pipelines, work items, pull requests, wikis, and boards - what will happen if you can’t access them? These elements contain critical data that can impact both your workflows and development processes.

Moreover, the same as your source code, it’s crucial to protect all the repos’ metadata for meeting compliance and security requirements, especially, when it comes to SOC 2 and ISO 27001 audits.

GitProtect offers automated and fully customized backups with the widest Azure DevOps data coverage on the market - repositories, metadata, and LFS. For both Azure DevOps and Azure DevOps Server services. Customizable, scalable, and ultra-secure to meet enterprise-scale needs.

Let’s take a closer look at some Azure DevOps resources that need backup:

Azure boards

With GitProtect.io you can be sure that your Azure boards are secure and accessible from any point in time. Work items, comments, attachments, etc. - all of them are critical for workflow continuity and should be recovered fast should the disaster strike.

Azure processes

Make sure that you can constantly access all the data you have in your Azure processes. Work item types, layouts, pages, groups, fields, picklists, states, etc. - all of them are important for tracking, managing, and delivering projects.

Azure Pull Requests

Secure your Azure Pull Requests effortlessly using GitProtect.io backup and Disaster Recovery software, so you can ensure that your descriptions, comments, creators, tags, along with all the other relevant metadata, remain accessible and recoverable in any disaster scenario.

Have backup - comply with the Shared Responsibility Model

We shouldn’t forget that all SaaS providers operate within the Shared Responsibility Model. Azure DevOps users should understand well their responsibilities for their data protection within it.

Those obligations are pretty simple - the cloud provider is responsible for the smooth running of its services, its availability and accessibility, and the user is responsible for the security of its account data.
