Data Protection and Backup Services
Backups only create confidence when recovery has been tested.
Digisecuritas reviews how critical data is protected, stored, retained, accessed, and restored, then provides a clear plan to strengthen resilience.
A backup is useful only when the business can recover from it
Backup jobs may complete successfully while recovery remains uncertain.
Data may be missing, inaccessible, outdated, exposed to the same compromise, or impossible to restore within operational deadlines.
An independent review tests the assumptions behind the backup strategy.
Critical systems or data may sit outside the backup scope.
Successful backup jobs do not confirm that restoration will work.
Backup environments may use the same identities or access paths as production.
Recovery responsibilities may be divided across teams and vendors.
Retention periods may not reflect legal, contractual, or business needs.
Technical restoration may not match business recovery priorities.
Backup success is a system status. Recovery confidence is a business outcome.
What data protection and backup services cover
Identify critical information, systems, repositories, and business dependencies.
Review backup platforms, storage locations, isolation, replication, and dependencies.
Assess administrative access, service accounts, authentication, and separation of duties.
Review retention schedules, legal obligations, deletion, and policy ownership.
Validate restoration procedures, dependencies, recovery times, and evidence.
Assess immutability, isolation, monitoring, clean recovery, and compromise scenarios.
Your data protection environment
Data resilience depends on how these layers work together, not on backup technology alone.
Our data protection review
Confirm which information and systems are essential to operations.
Assess backup scope, architecture, storage, access, and retention.
Review procedures, test evidence, dependencies, and restoration capability.
Link weaknesses to business impact, ownership, and recovery requirements.
Define remediation, testing, governance, and improvement actions.
Recovery begins with business priorities
Technical recovery order and business recovery order are rarely identical.
Digisecuritas helps organisations define which services, systems, and data must return first.
Request a Recovery Readiness ReviewIdentify the operations that cannot remain unavailable.
Map the information each critical service requires.
Define how quickly each service must return.
Confirm how much data loss the business can tolerate.
Identify applications, identities, networks, and suppliers required for recovery.
Define who confirms that restored services are safe and usable.
The backup trust model
What data must be protected?
Can production compromise reach the backups?
Can the organisation recover safely?
A resilient backup model separates production, protection, and recovery responsibilities.
Review Your Backup ArchitectureWhat we assess
We review how data is protected, accessed, retained, restored, and governed.
Recovery planning starts with clear recovery objectives
Recovery Time Objective defines the maximum acceptable period a critical business service can remain unavailable before operational impact becomes unacceptable.
Recovery Point Objective defines the maximum amount of data loss the organisation is prepared to accept before recovery begins.
Recovery objectives should reflect business priorities, operational dependencies, and risk tolerance rather than default technology settings.
Example backup finding
Each finding explains the exposure, business impact, owner, action, and closure evidence.
Recovery testing that proves more than file restoration
Confirm backup jobs completed and files are readable.
Restore selected systems, applications, or data.
Restore the components required to operate a business service.
Confirm that users can operate the restored service safely.
