# Cost-Effective Storage Solutions for Financial Services ## **Meet Compliance Mandates & Maintain a Competitive Edge** ![financial services storage guide](https://cloudian.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/financial-services-ebook-thum2.png?w=332)While rich data is invaluable for a competitive edge, personally identifiable information (PII) that financial services organizations collect must be located in their data centers, secure, encrypted, and optionally masked or anonymized and fully protected against ransomware threats. And PCI data regulations are even more stringent. Cloudian HyperStore has the most data security certifications of any on-prem object storage. For financial services organizations, it makes an ideal backup target that can provide end-to-end data protection to meet compliance requirements, while also enabling fast and easy data access to meet business needs at up to 70% less cost. *Read this eBook to learn how to:* - Store PII & PCI with security and compliance that**[meets SEC, FNRA, and CFTC regulations](https://cloudian.com/lp/cloudian-sec17a-4-assessment-report/)** - Protect your company against**[ransomware](https://cloudian.com/lp/lock-ransomware-out-keep-data-safe-ent/)** - Back up data—including from**[Office 365](https://cloudian.com/solutions/data-protection/microsoft-office-365/)**—to a secure, scalable target - **[Splunk more data for less cost](https://cloudian.com/lp/splunk-tco-report/)**and drive the business forward faster ### Customers [![Rabobank logo](https://cloudian.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/Rabobank_International.svg)](https://cloudian.com/press/rabobank-counters-growing-ransomware-menace-with-cloudian-object-storage/)#### Rabobank Uses Cloudian S3 Object Lock implementation to ensure quick and easy recovery without paying ransom.

But it does not replace backup. With geo-redundancy alone, you have limited recovery options if your institution’s data is accidentally deleted or maliciously attacked. For credit-decisioning data that needs to be stored for 7 years to meet compliance regulations and avoid fines, or data that is required to be kept for various periods to meet legal case or consent order requirements, data loss is simply not an option. But storing this rarely-accessed data on high-cost storage also does not make economical sense. ![veeam object storage](https://cloudian.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/VEEAM-Object-Immutability.png)Veeam Backup for Microsoft Office 365 (VBO) paired with Cloudian HyperStore protects your Office 365 data from accidental deletion, rogue employees, and malware. From VBO, Office 365 backups are stored directly to Cloudian, providing a fast, on-prem, disk-based data protection solution for your institution at up to 70% less cost than traditional storage solutions.
