Disaster Recovery & Data Protection

 

Protect data with backups that attackers can’t rewrite, controls that follow information wherever it goes, and DLP policies that reduce leaks—without blocking legitimate work.

Backups and recovery, built to survive incidents

Why immutability and policy matter

Ransomware and compromised admin accounts often target backups first. If snapshots can be deleted or overwritten, recovery collapses. Immutable (or object-lock style) retention gives you a time-bound window where backup data cannot be altered—so clean restore points survive even when production systems are under attack. Alongside that, data protection means encryption, access control and classification so sensitive content is handled consistently. Data loss prevention (DLP) adds automated checks on email, endpoints and cloud services to stop regulated or confidential information leaving via the wrong channel—configured to match your real workflows, not blanket blocking.

How we work with you

We map where data lives—servers, Microsoft 365, SaaS, endpoints—and how long you need to retain it. Then we design backup topology (on-site, cloud, hybrid), immutability and retention rules, recovery runbooks and test schedules. For DLP we align policies with labels or sensitive types you care about (financial, personal, IP), tune false positives, and train staff so policies are understood. You get documentation you can show auditors or insurers, and a support path when restores or policy exceptions are needed.

What we deliver

Immutable & tamper-resistant backups

Backup platforms and object storage configured with immutability, versioning and separation of duties—so backup admins and ransomware actors can’t silently erase your last good copy. We scope retention to regulation and business need, and verify restore paths regularly.

Off-site & hybrid protection

Cloud and off-site targets so a site loss or crypto event doesn’t take primary and backup in one hit. Bandwidth, RPO/RTO and encryption in transit and at rest are designed around your workloads, not generic defaults.

Data protection controls

Encryption, access governance, sensitivity labels where you use Microsoft 365 or similar, and consistent handling of personal or regulated data—reducing accidental oversharing and supporting GDPR-style accountability.

DLP policies & tuning

Rules for email, browsers, removable media and cloud apps to detect and block or warn on risky transfers. We start with high-signal scenarios, refine based on feedback, and integrate with your identity and endpoint stack where appropriate.

Recovery & continuity planning

Prioritised recovery order, documented steps, and optional failover thinking for critical systems—so drills are practical and leadership knows what “back” actually means in hours, not slogans.

Testing & assurance

Scheduled restore tests, backup monitoring and alerting, and review of policy effectiveness—so problems surface during a test, not during a real incident.

Balance security with usability

Overly aggressive DLP frustrates users and drives shadow IT. We aim for policies that catch genuine risk—customer lists, credentials, regulated identifiers—while keeping day-to-day collaboration workable. The same mindset applies to backup windows and retention: enough history to recover, without endless storage cost.

Ongoing partnership

Data locations and regulations change; new apps appear; attackers adapt. We help you revisit backup coverage, immutability settings and DLP rules as your estate evolves—so protection doesn’t freeze on the day of the original project.

Why work with us

One view across backup and policy

We connect backup design with how data is labelled and shared—so recovery and DLP aren’t designed in silos.

Clear priorities from day one

Retention, cost and user impact are discussed up front; you choose what to enforce first and what to phase.

Microsoft-friendly expertise

Strong fit when data lives in Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Azure—we align with sensitivity labels, DLP and cloud backup patterns you may already be paying for.

Support when it counts

When restore or a policy exception is urgent, you reach people who know your configuration—not a generic script.
