In the world of data privacy, "better safe than sorry" is the better approach. Whether you are managing consent records or processing Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), this data is the backbone of your compliance posture.

If it’s not backed up, it doesn’t exist. And if it’s not automated, you’re one "busy Monday" away from a major audit risk.

That’s why we’ve overhauled our Google Drive Backups. We’ve made your records more secure, more flexible, and—most importantly—easier to monitor at a glance.

Why Backups Matter

Data loss isn't always about a Hollywood-style cyberattack; it’s usually much more mundane. A misplaced file, an accidental deletion, or a platform sync error can leave you empty-handed during a regulatory inquiry.

  • Audit Readiness: Regulators don't just want to know you have consent; they want to see the history. Backups ensure you have a "paper trail" that survives any system hiccup.
  • The "Human Error" Factor: Manual backups are only as reliable as the person remembering to click "Export." In a busy workflow, manual tasks are the first to be forgotten.
  • Centralized Security: By syncing to Google Drive, you’re leveraging enterprise-grade cloud storage to act as a fail-safe for your primary compliance dashboard.

What’s New?

We’ve moved beyond "one-size-fits-all" storage. Our latest update gives you granular control over how and when your data is preserved.

Feature What it means for you
Flexible Frequency Choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly intervals to match your volume of data.
Status Transparency No more guessing. View your “Last Backup Date” directly on your dashboard.
