GDPR Scenarios & How Backup Helps

Data Subject Access Request

A customer or employee requests all data you hold about them. Your Xero data includes their information but you've archived old records. With Boxkite backups, you can search historical data to provide a complete response.

Demonstrating Compliance

A regulator or client asks how you protect personal data in your financial records. You need to demonstrate appropriate security measures. Boxkite provides documented backup procedures with encryption and access controls.

Data Breach Response

You discover unauthorised access to your Xero account. You need to identify what data may have been accessed and when. Boxkite backups provide a historical record to compare against, helping identify the scope of any breach.
