Case Study: Statistics Iceland secures hundreds of gigabytes offsite and enables rapid recovery with Asigra Cloud Backup

Statistics Iceland’s Hundreds of Gigabytes of Data Is Securely Stored Offsite with Asigra Cloud Backup™

Statistics Iceland, the national statistical institute, stores sensitive citizen and official statistics and was straining its tape-based backup as data grew to hundreds of gigabytes (including over 70 SQL databases). Facing strict legal and privacy requirements and a potential large capital outlay for new hardware, the agency needed a reliable, compliant offsite backup and rapid recovery solution.

Statistics Iceland implemented Securstore’s managed service powered by Asigra Cloud Backup to perform nightly, agentless, encrypted offsite backups with replication. The pay-as-you-use service protects file systems and databases, enables bare‑metal restores for fast recovery (minutes to a few hours), ensures data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and eliminated the need for a major upfront investment while meeting compliance and reliability goals.
