FAQ
Get answers to common questions about Capsyra's data preservation platform.
What is the Capsyra Ecosystem?
The Capsyra Ecosystem is a decentralized digital archiving platform designed for long-term data preservation. It combines WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many) architecture with OmniCapsule technology to create immutable, ransomware-resistant archives that ensure data integrity and compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks.
How does Capsyra help with legal retention obligations?
Capsyra automatically meets GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific data retention requirements. Every archived document receives a verifiable compliance certificate that serves as proof of retention for audits. Our immutable architecture ensures documents cannot be tampered with, providing court-admissible evidence of document integrity.
Can I export my archives or verify them independently?
Yes, absolutely. You can export your data at any time in its original format. Each archived document comes with cryptographic verification that can be validated independently, even without Capsyra. This ensures you are never locked into our platform and can prove document integrity to any third party.
Is there a minimum contract term?
No, there are no minimum contract terms or subscription commitments. You pay once for the storage duration you choose (5-100+ years), and that's it. You can add more archives anytime, and there are no penalties for not using the service regularly.
What if my company stops operations before retention ends?
Your archives continue to exist regardless of your business status. The prepaid model ensures storage for the full duration, even if your company ceases operations. You can transfer ownership to successors, legal representatives, or designate data executors to manage the archives.
What is an OmniCapsule?
An OmniCapsule is our proprietary technology that tracks compliance, file versions, and budget allocation for your archived data. It provides auditability and ensures your data remains accessible and compliant throughout its entire retention period, while managing the financial aspects of long-term storage.
How does the financial model work?
Capsyra operates on a prepaid model with no recurring fees. You pay once for the entire storage duration, which sustains storage costs, protects long-term compliance, and enables seamless transitions into new technologies. This model includes all future costs: storage, bandwidth (fair-use), re-encryption, data migration, and technology upgrades.
Can I use Capsyra with my current backup software?
Yes, Capsyra works seamlessly with your existing backup and automation tools through native S3 support. Whether you use Veeam, Acronis, Veritas, or other backup solutions, you can integrate Capsyra to structure your archive alongside your daily backups with zero migration effort.
How is Capsyra different from AWS, GCP, Backblaze?
Unlike traditional cloud storage, Capsyra is specifically designed for true cold storage with WORM architecture and legal verifiability. We offer prepaid, decades-long retention with automatic compliance tracking, post-quantum encryption, and European data sovereignty - features not available in standard cloud storage solutions.
Is Capsyra NIS2 compliant?
Yes, Capsyra is fully compliant with NIS2, GDPR, and other major European data protection regulations. Our platform is designed with compliance focus, providing data processing agreements (DPAs), detailed audit logs, and ensuring all data processing occurs within the EU when required.
What happens if Capsyra shuts down?
Capsyra is designed with business continuity in mind. Your prepaid model includes a data escrow service - if we cease operations, your data and decryption keys are automatically transferred to a successor organization or returned to you. Our decentralized architecture ensures your data exists across multiple independent providers.
How does Capsyra ensure data security?
We use a distributed WORM architecture with multiple redundant copies across different providers, continuous integrity monitoring, and automatic re-encryption with post-quantum algorithms. Data written today cannot be altered tomorrow, making it inherently ransomware-resistant and providing tamper-proof audit trails.
What happens to my data if regulations change?
Capsyra continuously monitors regulatory changes and automatically adapts to maintain compliance. Our OmniCapsule technology tracks compliance requirements and ensures your data remains compliant throughout its retention period, even as regulations evolve.
What file formats are supported?
Capsyra accepts any digital file format - from documents and images to databases and virtual machines. However, we are not aware of which data is being stored in our system. This means you are responsible to use file formats which can withstand changes over time. If you have questions about file format preservation, we can advice some valued partners.
