† Rubrik meters capacity in front-end gigabytes alongside the user count. This figure scales Rubrik’s published tier structure at 50 GB per user and is an upper bound rather than a quote — a real quote at this volume would likely use their unlimited tier, whose price is not published.

‡ The Acronis figure of $3.30 is retail list at 100 seats and is indicative only, since Acronis sells its business line through partners with no public enterprise rate card. A real rate at 5,000 or 10,000 seats would sit below it.

⚠ Hidden costs not reflected above These figures use published list pricing (except where you entered your own quote). Most enterprise customers also absorb: Veeam's 4–8% annual price escalation · Storage overage fees · Per-module licensing · Admin overhead (40–80 hrs/yr at this scale). SaaSAssure's all-in per-user pricing eliminates these variables entirely.

Restore to the original user or move data to a different user or a different tenant. All restore operations support bandwidth throttling to minimise impact on production workloads.

SphereCyberX XZTA Architecture

Enterprise Security. Built for Regulated Industries.

SaaSAssure is built on the SphereCyberX Zero Trust Approach (XZTA), a multi-layered security architecture. From transmission to storage to access, every component is secured independently. No single point of compromise can reach your backups.

Encryption and Data Protection

  • AES-256 Encryption at Rest

    All backup data encrypted using AES-256 (CBC mode) before it leaves the source. Configurable encryption strength. Backup files stored in a non-executable, compressed format that cannot be run by ransomware.

  • TLS 1.3 Encryption in Transit

    All data transferred between the backup agent and storage uses TLS 1.3. No unencrypted data ever traverses the network.

  • Customer-Controlled Encryption Keys

    User-generated encryption keys mean only the customer can decrypt their backups. Not even SaaSAssure can access your data. Complete data sovereignty.

  • Deduplication and Compression

    Advanced deduplication and compression performed at source before transmission, reducing storage consumption and backup window duration simultaneously.

Immutability and Ransomware Protection

  • Triple-I Technology (Immutable, Indestructible, Immediate)

    Once written, backups cannot be modified or deleted: not by ransomware, not by a compromised admin account, not by any administrator. WORM (Write Once, Read Many) storage enforced at the storage layer via ObjectX Storage and S3 Object Lock on compatible stores.

  • Air Gap Backup (xSAIR)

    Secure AirGap Immutable Repository (xSAIR) creates a physically isolated backup environment. The storage zone disconnects from the network after each replication window, completely unreachable between scheduled syncs. Supports 3-2-1-1-0 strategy.

  • Multi-Layer Replication (SphereCyberX)

    CyberTierX2 replicates to a second independent storage location (local, cloud, or hybrid). CyberTierX3 adds physical isolation via air gap. Every backup can exist in three independent locations simultaneously.

  • Non-Executable Backup Format

    Backup files are compressed and encrypted into a proprietary, non-executable format. Even if an attacker reaches the backup storage, they cannot launch malware from it.

Access Control and Zero Trust (XZTA)

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with predefined roles
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enforced
  • Single Sign-On (SSO) with SAML, Azure AD, Okta, Google, Auth0, CyberArk
  • Zero Trust storage access (XZTA) — only specific agent requests are permitted during backup, replication, or recovery
  • Least-privilege principle applied at every layer
  • Built-in password manager for secure credential storage

Monitoring and Audit

  • Full audit log of all backup and restore actions
  • Real-time backup job monitoring dashboard
  • Automated email and Slack alerts on failure or status
  • SLA monitoring and reporting
  • Advanced log search and export for compliance auditors
  • Data residency verified per storage location in console

Compliance Frameworks Supported

  • GDPR Data isolation, erasure, residency control
  • HIPAA Encryption, access control, audit logs
