Data Vault.
Secure, isolated backup to protect your critical data.
Data Vault is designed to protect your organisation’s most valuable asset, its data. With secure, isolated and immutable backup, you’re better prepared for ransomware, human error and evolving cyber threats.
Today's threat environment
Stronger protection for your most critical data.
Every transaction, engagement and interaction creates data. As businesses digitise, that data becomes increasingly valuable, and increasingly targeted. Ransomware, insider threats and accidental deletion are real risks for Australian organisations. Without the right controls, your backups can become just as vulnerable as your production systems.
- Ransomware and malicious attacks are escalating
- Compliance requirements continue to tighten
- Insider threats and human error remain persistent
- Traditional backup methods can create management complexity

Data Vault FAQs
How do I backup to the cloud?
You can back up your data to the cloud by using Macquarie Cloud Services’ Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS). This service backs up your data in accordance with compliance and corporate frameworks around data storage, protection and integrity. You receive data retrieval on demand for compliance and legal discovery purposes, as well as 24×7 support – reducing the burden on your internal IT team. You can also get live reports online or set up notifications – so you’re instantly alerted if something needs your attention. Highly available, cross-site storage hosts your backed-up data in another data centre location. Full backup images are always online and ready for restoration 24×7.
Is cloud backup safe from ransomware?
Cloud backup can be an effective way to protect against ransomware attacks, as it allows organisations to create copies of their data and store them in a secure location. However, it is important for organisations to take steps to ensure that their cloud backup solution is properly configured and that their data is being backed up on a regular basis.
Here are some steps organisations can take to ensure the safety of their data in a cloud backup solution:
- Regularly test backups – It is important to regularly test the restore process to ensure that the data can be recovered in the event of a ransomware attack or other data loss event.
- Encrypt data – Encrypting data before it is sent to the cloud can help to protect it from ransomware attacks.
- Use multiple backup solutions – Using multiple backup solutions, such as both on-premises and cloud backup, can provide additional protection against ransomware attacks.
- Implement access controls – Implementing access controls, such as user authentication and access permissions, can help to prevent unauthorised access to the cloud backup solution.
- Train employees – Training employees on ransomware prevention and response can help to reduce the risk of a ransomware attack.
Overall, while cloud backup can be an effective way to protect against ransomware attacks, it is important for organisations to take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of their data.
What types of cyber threats does Data Vault protect against?
Data Vault is designed to help protect against ransomware, crypto-malware, malicious attacks, insider threats and accidental data deletion. By applying immutability, isolation and monitoring principles, it strengthens your ability to respond to cyber incidents.
Can retention lock periods be customised?
Yes. Retention lock periods can be defined to align with your operational and compliance requirements, helping ensure backup data is protected for the appropriate timeframe.
How safe is cloud backup?
The safety and security of cloud backup depends on a number of factors, including the security measures implemented by your cloud service provider, the security practices of the organisation using the cloud backup service, and the specific security needs of the organisation.
Cloud service providers typically have robust security measures in place to protect the data of their customers. These can include measures such as data encryption, secure data centres, and access controls. However, it is important for organisations to carefully evaluate the security measures of a cloud service provider before choosing a cloud backup solution.
In addition to the security measures implemented by the cloud service provider, the safety of cloud backup also depends on the security practices of the organisation using the service. This includes practices such as regularly updating software and security protocols, training employees on security best practices, and implementing appropriate access controls.
Overall, cloud backup can be a safe and secure way to store data, provided that the cloud service provider has strong security measures in place and the organisation using the service has effective security practices in place. It is important for organisations to carefully evaluate the security measures of a cloud service provider and implement appropriate security practices to ensure the safety and security of their data.
What are the best cloud backup services?
Cloud backup services are an essential tool for businesses. They help ensure that your data is safe and secure, and if the unexpected happens, they can help you get back up and running very quickly and easily. There are many cloud backup services available today, but not all of them are created equal. The best cloud backup services are those that offer a combination of ease of use, security, and affordability. By choosing a reliable partner such as Macquarie Cloud Services, you can be confident that your data in the cloud is reliably and securely backed up.
How does immutability improve backup security?
Immutability means backup data is stored in a non-erasable and non-rewriteable manner for a defined retention period. This reduces the risk of backup data being altered or deleted during a cyber attack or malicious event.
How does Data Vault support compliance obligations?
Data Vault includes controls designed to protect backups from compromise, supporting requirements such as ASD Essential 8 guidance, CPS 234 (APRA) expectations and Sarbanes-Oxley backup controls.
