Compliance & Audit

When the auditor asks, the answer is already a report.

Compass builds compliance into the platform: automated reporting, complete audit history, policy enforcement, and data sovereignty controls — across every workload, including the IBM i systems other tools leave out of scope.

How does Compass support backup compliance? Compass builds audit readiness into the platform — reporting, audit history, policy enforcement, and sovereignty controls across every workload.

  • Automated compliance reporting, produced on a schedule
  • Full audit history of every backup and recovery action
  • Centralized policy enforcement across all workloads
  • Data sovereignty controls for multi-region and regulated environments
  • Trusted by organizations with the most demanding regulatory profiles, including banks such as CIBC
Built In

Compliance features you don't have to assemble

Automated reporting

Compliance posture as scheduled output, not a quarterly spreadsheet project.

Full audit history

Every action logged — who, what, when — for regulators, auditors, and boards.

Data sovereignty

Control where data lives across on-premises and multi-cloud regions.

Consistent policy

One policy engine applies the same retention and protection rules across every workload — no out-of-scope gaps to explain.

One Scope, No Gaps

The compliance gap most enterprises miss: the IBM island

When IBM i backup runs on a separate appliance outside enterprise policy, it creates blind spots in audit scope and DR planning. Compass brings IBM i, AIX, and Linux on Power into the same policy engine and audit trail as everything else — one report covers the whole estate.
