Data Protection Services in the UK

Protecting business data goes beyond simple backup. Cloudswitched delivers comprehensive data protection services for UK businesses — combining managed backup, disaster recovery planning, and data governance to safeguard your most valuable asset.

Multi-Layered Protection

Backup, replication, immutable storage, and offsite copies working together to protect against every data loss scenario.

Compliance Aligned

Data protection strategies designed to meet GDPR, Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, and sector-specific regulatory requirements.

Business Continuity

When data loss occurs, our recovery procedures get you back to business rapidly with tested, proven restore processes.

A Comprehensive Approach to Data Protection

Data threats are diverse — ransomware, hardware failure, human error, insider threats, and natural disasters all pose risks to your business information. Effective data protection requires a layered strategy that addresses prevention, detection, backup, and recovery. Cloudswitched designs and manages data protection programmes that cover every angle, giving UK businesses confidence that their data is safe and recoverable.

Our Data Protection Framework

Risk Assessment

We assess your data landscape — identifying what data you hold, where it resides, how critical it is, and what threats it faces — to design protection measures proportionate to the risk.

Protection Implementation

Backup policies, encryption, access controls, and replication configured across your entire IT estate based on the assessment findings.

Ongoing Governance

Regular reviews of your data protection posture, retention policies, and compliance alignment ensure your protection measures remain effective as your business evolves.

We design data protection measures that support GDPR requirements including data minimisation, secure processing, breach notification readiness, and the right to erasure.

Yes. We protect data wherever it resides — on-premises servers, cloud platforms, endpoints, and SaaS applications. Our unified approach ensures consistent protection and reporting across your entire data estate.

Our multi-layered approach includes immutable backup copies that ransomware cannot encrypt, air-gapped offsite storage, and recovery procedures specifically designed for ransomware scenarios. We can restore your systems to a clean state before the infection occurred.
