Case Study: Chen Financial Group, LLC achieves SEC- and FINRA-compliant encrypted cloud backup with Carbonite (EVault Cloud Backup)

Chen Financial Group, LLC - Customer Case Study

Chen Financial Group, LLC is a four‑person personal financial planning firm in Belmont, California that serves Silicon Valley clients. The firm stores large volumes of sensitive client files and personally identifiable information on a single Windows file server and needed a backup solution that met strict SEC and FINRA encryption and privacy requirements.

They implemented EVault Cloud Backup with EVault Director, encrypting all data with AES before transmission; the solution was affordable, fast to deploy, and simple to manage, protecting about 15 GB including laptops. The result: regulatory compliance, reliable recovery for accidental deletions, and a straightforward disaster‑recovery practice that provides the firm with peace of mind.
