Backup & Business Resilience
Recovery that is tested and documented — because a backup nobody has restored is an assumption, not a plan, and BoT increasingly expects the difference to be provable.

Why this matters
Most organizations have backups. Far fewer have ever restored from them. A backup that has never been tested is an assumption, not a protection.
The risk of doing nothing
- Backups run for months while silently failing.
- Backup storage sits on the same network the attacker reaches first.
- Nobody knows which system to restore first, or who decides.
- Recovery takes days because there is no documented procedure.
Our approach
How the work runs
- 01
Define
Agree recovery time and recovery point targets per system with the business.
- 02
Design
Build backup layers, including offsite and immutable copies.
- 03
Test
Perform real restores and record how long each takes.
- 04
Document
Deliver a runbook that names systems, order, and decision owners.
Expected business outcomes
What changes after this work
- A recovery time you can state with confidence
- Verified, restorable backups
- Protection against ransomware and deletion
- A plan your team can execute under pressure
Frequently asked questions
Questions we are asked first
- What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
- Backup is a copy of your data. Disaster recovery is the tested plan and infrastructure that gets your business operating again. You need both.
- How often should recovery be tested?
- At least twice a year for critical systems, and after any significant infrastructure change.
- Does this protect us against ransomware?
- Immutable and offsite copies mean encrypted production data does not mean lost data. Combined with segmentation, it substantially reduces the impact.
