RegDOX® Long-Term Cloud Storage Solution for CUI
Long-Term Cloud Storage Solution for CUI meets the existing and substantial long-term document retention requirements for Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which covers ITAR Technical Data and data subject to DFARS controls. The ideal means of long-term cloud storage of those records that have been secured by RegDOX’s CUI compliant storage and collaboration environment during use is to maintain those records within the same compliant environment. But it has to be done in a cost-effective manner.
Based on customer requests and to meet these goals, RegDOX is offering a new service for its CUI customers – RegDOX’s Long-Term Cloud Storage (LTS) service.
CUI Retention Requirements
Whether CUI includes customer or vendor information, employee records, financial data, or any other sensitive business documents and files, companies need to safeguard their data with specifically defined confidentiality needs.
The RegDOX LTS provides an additional, fail-safe and extended data loss prevention method to supplement each customer’s own data preservation efforts.
Before we describe this service, let’s review some CUI document retention requirements. The following is a brief summary of some of the more significant regulations:
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS)
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
Foreign Trade Regulations/ Electronic Export Information (EEI)
Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC)
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
RegDOX’s Solution for the Long-Term Cloud Storage of CUI
Goals of the Long-Term Cloud Storage Service
There are three primary goals in providing this service. The first is to ensure that all archived CUI is maintained without interruption in a safe, secure and regulatory compliant environment. The second is to make this continuing storage option as price effective as possible. Finally, the service needs to maintain a complete, unalterable and reportable audit history of the CUI. The RegDOX® Long-Term Cloud Storage (LTS) service achieves all of these objectives.
Description of the Long-Term Cloud Storage Service
Each customer of RegDOX that has a Data Room Center (DRC) with 10 licensed users or more (“Production DRC”) may acquire a second DRC for the long-term storage of CUI (“Storage DRC”). Content may be moved by the Customer at any time directly from the Production DRC to the Storage DRC and later directly back to the Production DRC. That content at all times will remain encrypted and never leave the regulatory compliant environment when being transferred to the Storage DRC and back to the Production DRC. This movement, as well as the lifecycle of the CUI in each DRC, will be tracked, documented and reportable in the history of each DRC.
Access to the Storage DRC is limited to two licensed, administrator users, with each being assigned to a single individual (not an alias or shared account). The Storage DRC may be set up by its administrators to have as much storage as the Customer requires and expanded by them as need dictates. The Storage DRC may have an unlimited number of Data Rooms (DRs). The administrators may be changed at any time, so long as there are only two assigned licenses. The Storage DRC will be accessible at all times and is configured for storage and not production tasks. Storage costs within the storage DRC have been substantially reduced to meet the goal of cost efficiency.
Prerequisites to the Long-Term Cloud Storage Service
- A Production DRC with at least 10 ordered licenses
- Administrators shall be licensed to both the Production and Storage DRCs
- The two Storage DRC administrators can transfer content to and from the Production and Storage DRCs. RegDOX Support will transfer entire DRs with their history
- Back-ups of the Storage DRC by RegDOX on the 15th day of each month and that is maintained until the next full back-up of the Storage DRC.
