Real Results

How UK businesses have protected themselves with tested backup recovery.

Healthcare Organisation, North West

A private healthcare group had no tested disaster recovery plan. Their cyber insurer required evidence of a working recovery capability before renewing their policy.

DR plan designed, documented, and tested. Recovery time objective of 4 hours achieved and evidenced for the insurer. Policy renewed at standard rate.

Legal Practice, Manchester

A law firm suffered a ransomware attack that encrypted their file server. Their backup existed but had never been tested. The restore failed and they lost 3 days of data.

New backup solution deployed with weekly recovery tests. Offsite replication to Azure configured. Next ransomware attempt contained with zero data loss.

Accountancy Firm, London

An accountancy practice needed to demonstrate backup and recovery capability for their ISO 27001 certification. They had backups but no documented procedures or test evidence.

Recovery procedures documented. Monthly test schedule established. Six months of test evidence produced. ISO 27001 certification achieved.
