Data Protection

Protect data across its lifecycle.

Safeguard data with privacy, controls and recovery, so continuity and trust are preserved.

The problem

Data is the business, and most organisations cannot prove they can recover it.

  • Silent backup failure

    Jobs run green while the data behind them is unrecoverable.

  • SaaS blind spots

    Microsoft 365 and cloud data assumed protected, but rarely are.

  • Untested plans

    Continuity plans that have never survived contact with a real event.

  • Unclear RTO/RPO

    Recovery objectives set by IT, not agreed by the business.

How the service runs

A recurring service with a published cadence.

Protection is a cycle, reviewed at business rhythm. Every stage produces something you can inspect: a classification of what matters, a coverage report, a plan with agreed recovery objectives, and the result of the last live restore.

  • Classify

    Identify critical data, systems and dependencies.

  • Protect

    Immutable, monitored backup across all surfaces.

  • Plan

    Business-owned continuity plans with agreed RTO/RPO.

  • Test

    Live restore tests, not tabletop reassurance.

  • Recover

    Structured response when incidents occur.

  • Improve

    Learn from every drill and event.

Questions

Common questions, answered plainly.

Isn't Microsoft 365 already backed up?

No. Microsoft is responsible for the platform, not for recovering your data. Independent, immutable backup is required.

How often do you test restores?

Live restore tests run on a defined cadence per client. Tabletop drills sit alongside them, never in place of them. Results are reported openly.

Who owns the continuity plan?

The business does. We facilitate, document and test it, but recovery objectives are agreed at executive level.

Can you protect data outside Microsoft 365?

Yes. Servers, endpoints, SaaS and hybrid workloads are all in scope where supported.
