ApproveThis manages your Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Integration approvals.

When Cyber Security Meets Approval Chaos (And Why You Should Care)

Let’s cut through the BS: You’re using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud because you need enterprise-grade security without the enterprise-grade headaches. But here’s the kicker – all those alerts, user requests, and customer onboarding tasks? They’re getting stuck in approval purgatory. Sales teams wait days for production access. Critical security alerts gather dust in someone’s inbox. MSPs burn hours playing middleman between clients and internal teams.

ApproveThis isn’t another tool to “streamline workflows” – it’s the missing piece that makes your Acronis investment actually work at human speed. We’re talking about turning security processes from liability to competitive advantage. No fluff.

How This Actually Works (Spoiler: It’s Not Magic)

Through Zapier, ApproveThis becomes the traffic cop for every Acronis action that needs a human decision. Think:

• Auto-creating approval tickets when high-risk alerts trigger in Acronis
• Pushing new customer tenants through compliance checks before going live

Key thing your finance team will love: Approvers don’t need Acronis licenses. Client needs to sign off on their own backup protocol? Add them as approvers without buying another seat. Legal wants to review new tenant contracts? They’ll approve via email like it’s 1999.

Real Scenarios Where This Combo Doesn’t Suck

1. MSPs: Stop Being Your Clients’ Help Desk

Picture this: Acronis detects ransomware on a client’s endpoint. Normally, you’d be fielding panic calls while chasing internal approvals for remediation. With the integration:

Acronis Alert → ApproveThis → Client’s IT Director + Your Security Lead

Both parties get a single email: “Critical threat detected at 3AM. Approve immediate isolation?” Click approve → Acronis auto-executes the playbook. No conference calls. No liability limbo.

2. Enterprise IT: User Onboarding That Doesn’t Make You Want to Quit

New hire needs Acronis access? HR triggers the request in Workday → ApproveThis routes to their manager + infosec → On approval, Acronis auto-provisions their account with right permissions. If the manager’s on PTO? Delegation rules push it to their backup. No more “I never got the email” excuses.

3. Compliance Teams: Actually Prove You Did Your Job

Every new customer tenant in Acronis now auto-triggers an approval chain with audit trails: SOC 2 checklist review, contract sign-off, backup schedule validation. All documented in ApproveThis with timestamps and comments. Next audit? Export the reports and go get a coffee while they verify.

Setting This Up Without an IT Degree

If you can order DoorDash, you can build this integration:

1. Log into Zapier (you’re using it already – don’t lie)
2. Pick your Acronis trigger (“New Critical Alert”, “User Creation Request”, etc.)
3. Connect ApproveThis as the action – map the key fields (alert details, user email)
4. Set approval rules: thresholds, groups, escalation paths

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’s calculated fields to auto-approve low-risk actions. Backup schedule change under $10K? Auto-greenlight. Over $50K? Route to CFO. Saves 20+ hours/month in manual reviews.

Why Your Team Won’t Hate This

For Security Teams

Get alerts out of the Acronis console and into the hands of people who can actually approve actions. Set approval thresholds so you’re only bothered when it matters.

For Customer-Facing Teams

Clients get branded approval portals instead of generic Acronis logins. Approve access requests, incident responses, and contract changes without exposing backend systems.

For Leadership

Real visibility into security decision latency. That report showing 62% of critical alerts took over 24 hours to approve? Gone. Now you’re the hero who “optimized risk response cycles” or whatever buzzword the board likes this quarter.

Cool Sh*t You Might Not Expect

Beyond the basics:

Vacation Policies That Actually Work: Approver OOO? ApproveThis auto-reassigns their Acronis-related approvals to a delegate. No more “permission denied” errors because Karen’s on safari.

Approval Layers That Make Sense: First-line approves in Acronis, but anything crossing $50K needs CFO sign-off in ApproveThis. Custom workflows adapt to your rules, not the other way around.

Audit Trails That Cover Your Ass: Every Acronis action tied to an approval with user, timestamp, and comments. Perfect for compliance audits and “Who the hell approved this?” moments.

The Bottom Line (No, Really)

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud handles the cyber threats. ApproveThis handles the human chaos. Together, they make sure security processes don’t bottleneck growth – whether you’re onboarding 10 clients a week or managing 5,000 endpoints.

This isn’t about “digital transformation.” It’s about fixing the approval nightmares that make your team dread Mondays. Less chasing people. More actually protecting your business.

Acronis does the heavy lifting. ApproveThis makes sure the right people say “yes” at the right time. You get to look like you know what you’re doing.
