Our Capabilities
Build a Reliable Data Protection and Recovery Strategy
Protecting information requires more than creating backup copies. Establish appropriate coverage, access restrictions, retention policies and tested recovery procedures that support business continuity.
Cloud & Hybrid Backup
Review backup coverage for supported cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments, including workloads and business-critical information.
Backup Security & Access Controls
Strengthen backup administration, permissions and access restrictions to reduce the risk of unauthorised changes or deletion.
Ransomware-Resilient Backups
Assess appropriate immutable or offline backup options, separation of backup credentials and safeguards against destructive attacks.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Define recovery priorities, dependencies, responsibilities and procedures to help restore important systems after disruption.
Backup Restore Testing
Validate restore procedures, document test outcomes and identify gaps that could affect recovery during an actual incident.
Data Retention & Lifecycle
Review retention requirements, backup lifecycle settings and data-handling practices to support operational and regulatory obligations.
Backup Monitoring & Reporting
Improve visibility into backup job outcomes, failures, capacity concerns and other conditions that could affect recoverability.
Recovery Objectives & Readiness
Help define recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives for critical systems, based on acceptable downtime and data-loss tolerance.
Our Protection Framework
Four Steps Toward Reliable Data Recovery
Establish a repeatable process for protecting critical information, validating backup integrity and preparing for service restoration.
PHASE 01
Identify
Determine critical datasets, applications, dependencies and business recovery priorities.
PHASE 02
Protect
Define backup coverage, retention, access controls and appropriate storage protections.
PHASE 03
Validate
Test recovery procedures, review backup outcomes and address gaps in recoverability.
PHASE 04
Recover
Follow documented recovery priorities, restore systems and review lessons learned.
How We Work
A Practical Approach to Backup and Recovery
Build a plan around your most important information, business downtime tolerance and the technical dependencies involved in restoring services.
Assess Data & Recovery Needs
Review critical systems, existing backups, retention settings, dependencies and required recovery objectives.
Strengthen Protection
Prioritise coverage improvements, access restrictions, backup safeguards and documented recovery procedures.
Test & Improve
Validate restore procedures, record results and refine the recovery plan as systems and business needs change.
Connected Security Solutions
Protect Data Across Your Entire Security Environment
Backup and recovery work best alongside ransomware defence, cloud security, data-loss prevention and incident response capabilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
Data Protection & Backup FAQs
Understand the practices that help protect business information and improve recovery readiness.
Data protection and backup combines safeguards for business information with the creation and management of recoverable copies. It can include access controls, retention policies, secure storage, backup monitoring and recovery testing.
Backup frequency depends on how much data the business can afford to lose, the rate of data change, system criticality and recovery requirements. Define a recovery point objective for each important workload and configure backups accordingly.
Backup creates recoverable copies of data or systems. Disaster recovery is the broader process of restoring applications, infrastructure and business services after a major disruption. Backups are one important component of disaster recovery.
Protected backups can support recovery after a ransomware incident, but they must be secured against unauthorised access, alteration and deletion. Appropriate isolation, immutable storage where suitable, credential separation and restore testing are important safeguards.
Recovery point objective (RPO) describes the maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. Recovery time objective (RTO) describes the target time for restoring a service after disruption.
A successful backup job does not by itself prove that data and applications can be restored as expected. Regular restore testing helps uncover corrupted copies, missing dependencies, access problems and gaps in recovery procedures.
