Case Study: Applause achieves reliable Google Apps & Salesforce data protection and SOC 2 retention with Backupify

Applause protects Google Apps and Salesforce data with Backupify

Applause, a leader in app quality with 300+ employees and 140,000 testers, uses Google Apps and Salesforce to coordinate global teams and manage customer projects. With distributed collaborators and strict security requirements, the company needed a reliable way to prevent cloud data loss and meet SOC 2 data‑retention standards.

Applause implemented Backupify’s cloud‑to‑cloud backup—one of the first vendors to meet SOC 2 Type II—bringing automated protection and fast restore capabilities. When a shared Google Drive folder was accidentally permanently deleted, Backupify enabled an immediate recovery, saving the team from rebuilding vital documents; Applause also cited responsive support and reduced operational risk.
