Frequently Asked Questions
Backup is one component of data protection. Comprehensive data protection also includes encryption, access controls, data governance, disaster recovery, compliance management, and incident response. Our service addresses all of these elements, not just taking copies of your data.
We design data protection measures that support GDPR requirements including data minimisation, secure processing, breach notification readiness, and the right to erasure. Our retention policies ensure data is kept only as long as necessary, and our encryption protects personal data throughout its lifecycle.
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.
We perform recovery tests at least quarterly, covering a representative sample of protected systems and data types. Test results are documented and shared with you. If a test reveals any issues, we remediate immediately and retest.
