Backups are assumed to work until a real recovery is attempted — and by then, missing coverage, untested restores, or ransomware-reachable backups become a business crisis.
Verified, tested recovery for your critical systems and a clear continuity plan with defined recovery objectives.
What it is
A Backup & Business Continuity Review is a fixed-scope engagement that replaces a dangerous assumption — “our backups are fine” — with tested evidence.
The only backup that counts is one you have actually restored from. We inventory what you’re protecting, test whether critical systems truly come back, and check that your recovery timelines match what the business can survive. Then we document a continuity plan your team can follow under pressure.
What we review
- Coverage — what’s being backed up, what isn’t, and where the blind spots are.
- Recoverability — a real restore test of selected critical workloads, so recovery is proven rather than presumed.
- Objectives — your recovery time and recovery point targets (RTO/RPO), measured against what the business actually needs.
- Resilience — whether backups are isolated and protected from ransomware, deletion, or a single point of failure.
How it works
- Scoping — we identify the critical systems, data, and recovery expectations in scope.
- Review and test — we assess coverage and run restore tests on selected workloads.
- Gap analysis — we map where recovery would fail today and rank the fixes by priority.
- Runbook — you get a written continuity and recovery plan your team can execute when it matters.
Who it’s for
SMB and mid-market teams whose operations depend on systems staying available and data staying recoverable — especially those without a tested, documented recovery plan.
