Canadian Cloud Backup - Secure Data Protection & Storage

By Damir Grubisa · Founder & CEO, Group 4 Networks

Canadian cloud backup services with PIPEDA-compliant data residency, AES-256 encryption, and automated recovery testing. Protecting Canadian organizations with secure, in-country stored backups.

Canadian Cloud Backup: Why Data Residency Matters

Canadian businesses under PIPEDA and sector-specific legislation like PHIPA (healthcare) and OSFI B-13 (financial services) must maintain control over where personal and regulated data is stored. Storing backups in US-based cloud services exposes organizations to the US CLOUD Act, creating compliance risk for organizations handling Canadian patient records, legal files, or financial data.

What Canadian Cloud Backup Provides

Canadian data centres: Backup data stored in Canadian facilities, maintaining jurisdiction and PIPEDA data residency requirements.
AES-256 encryption: Data encrypted in transit and at rest, with encryption keys controlled by your organization.
Automated daily backups: Scheduled backup jobs covering servers, endpoints, Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, and cloud workloads.
Versioning and long-term retention: Multiple restore points with configurable retention periods to meet regulatory record-keeping requirements.
Verified restore testing: Regular recovery tests confirm data is accessible and complete when needed.
