Case Study: EMA achieves HIPAA & SOX-compliant, reliable endpoint backups with CrashPlan — validated by TechValidate

EMA replaces Ahsay with CrashPlan, remains HIPAA and SOX compliant

EMA, a mid-sized healthcare organization, experienced endpoint data loss that reduced employee productivity and needed a more reliable disaster recovery/business-continuity approach. Their previous process relied on manual USB/external-drive backups and Ahsay, which prompted a move to a more consistent, centrally managed solution.

EMA deployed CrashPlan (Code42) in a hybrid cloud configuration, replacing manual backups and Ahsay and securing budget after demonstrating IT time and cost savings. The change improved backup reliability and consistency, cut IT hours spent managing and restoring endpoint data (saving 1–10 hours per week), and helped EMA maintain HIPAA and SOX compliance.
