We can rebuild any technology from anywhere, any time — laptops, servers, networks, entire comms rooms. The one thing we cannot replace is your data. That is why our governance pack treats backup audit as a foundational discipline, not a box to tick: immutable, dual-vendor, dual-location backups, monitored daily and reconciled monthly.
Business continuity is a design problem and a testing discipline, not a product you buy once. We build redundancy in, document the runbooks, and rehearse the recovery so that when something fails, the plan is muscle memory.
Automated backups (e.g. Datto / Azure), encrypted, with multi-zone redundancy, immutability and defined retention — verified, not assumed.
Regular disaster-recovery simulations with documented runbooks and explicit RTO / RPO targets, so recovery time is a known quantity, not a hope.
Active-active designs, dual connectivity, clustered hosts and route failover — with redundancy validation reported through uptime dashboards.
Backups are a boring topic and most providers treat them like one. We don’t. Our backup audit systematically identifies all the data the business holds and reconciles every dataset to a backup job — then verifies the things that actually matter when it’s 3am and you need the data back.
When the headlines hit a major retailer’s domain controllers, their backups had been corrupted for around 30 days — and the recovery did not work. The backups existed. The recovery didn’t. That distinction is the entire point of a backup audit: it is the difference between believing you are protected and being able to prove it.
A TCO review includes a backup and data audit: what data you hold, whether it is genuinely protected, and whether a restore would actually work when you need it.
