Cloud Solutions & Backup

Cloud File Storage & Collaboration

Client files, policy documents, and claims information are stored in a secure cloud environment with role-based access. Staff can access files from the office, home, or mobile devices without VPN friction — while permissions ensure only authorized users see sensitive data.

Cloud features:

  • Centralized file storage with version history
  • Secure external sharing with clients (expiring links)
  • Mobile and desktop sync
  • Capacity that scales with agency growth

Automated Backup & Disaster Recovery

A 3-2-1 backup strategy is implemented: three copies of data, on two types of media, with one copy off-site. Backups run on a scheduled basis and are encrypted both in transit and at rest.

Backup coverage:

  • Client files and policy documents
  • Email mailboxes and archives
  • Microsoft 365 data (OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams)
  • Critical insurance application data

Recovery capabilities:

  • One-click file and folder restore
  • Full mailbox recovery
  • Documented disaster recovery plan
  • Regular restore testing to verify integrity

Email Solutions & Microsoft 365

Business Email

Email is the backbone of client communication in insurance. The agency email system is configured for security, deliverability, and compliance.

Email services:

  • Professional domain-based email (e.g., name@darciGutierrezInsurance.com)
  • Advanced spam, phishing, and malware filtering
  • Email encryption for sensitive policy documents
  • Archiving and retention policies for compliance
  • Shared mailboxes for teams (claims, policies, billing)

Microsoft 365 Deployment

Microsoft 365 is deployed and configured to support insurance workflows — from document creation to team collaboration.
