Scheduled data backup and security monitoring

Purpose

1.1. Automate scheduled data backup routines to prevent data loss, meet retention policies, ensure legal compliance, and safeguard sensitive client information.
1.2. Automates security monitoring, audit logging, encryption status checks, and anomaly detection, keeping bankruptcy attorney practices audit-ready and secure from unauthorized access or breaches.
1.3. Facilitates automated disaster recovery drills, storage space management, automated backup verification, and compliance with regulatory requirements (such as SOX, HIPAA, GDPR relevant to legal data security).
1.4. Automator workflows double-check backup integrity, notifies on failures, and synchronizes multi-platform data silos; automatedly maintains operational continuity and client confidentiality.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Automated daily, weekly, or monthly scheduled time triggers (e.g. every midnight, every Sunday at 2 AM).
2.2. Post-transactional events: client onboarding, matter closure, or document uploads trigger automated backup and monitoring.
2.3. Anomaly detection alerts (e.g., failed login attempts, abnormal file access, or unauthorized system changes) initiate automated security scans and extra back-ups.
2.4. System integrity checks (e.g., changes to file size, permissions, or metadata) automate immediate backup and monitoring workflows.
