Protected workloads
Everything that matters
Backup policy is designed by workload criticality rather than one blanket schedule, with immutability set to survive dwell time and not just the weekend.

AI-Powered Ransomware Defence
Active protection that detects, blocks and automatically rolls back unauthorised encryption attempts on saved files in real time — including attempts aimed at the backup set itself.
Immutable & Tamper-Proof Storage
Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) storage configurations prevent backups from being modified, encrypted or deleted by unauthorised users or malware, for a defined immutability period — supporting compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, DORA and NIS 2, with auditable evidence of data integrity.
Hybrid Cloud Scalability
Flexible, high-efficiency storage solutions tailored for local, cloud or hybrid environments with strict compliance and data sovereignty in mind.
Continuous Threat Scanning
Automated malware scans before and during backup processes ensure your stored archives remain clean, uncorrupted and ready for safe restoration — AI-assisted scanning validates every restore point as malware-free before it reaches production, so you do not restore the infection along with the data.
Architecture
3-2-1-1-0, applied properly
| Rule | What it means | How we implement it |
|---|---|---|
| 3 copies | Production plus two independent backup copies | Retention aligned to your recovery and regulatory needs |
| 2 media | Two different storage media types | Local appliance or NAS for fast restore, plus cloud object storage |
| 1 offsite | One copy geographically separated | A genuine consideration on a single-island estate |
| 1 immutable | One copy WORM-locked and offline-equivalent | Outside the reach of a compromised domain admin account |
| 0 errors | Zero verification errors | Automated restore verification and archive malware scanning, reported monthly |
Storage region is chosen deliberately where contracts, client mandates or regulators constrain where data may sit.
Included
In every deployment
- Backup policy design by workload criticality, not one blanket schedule
- Immutability period set to survive dwell time, not just the weekend
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with customer-held key options
- Automated restore verification with evidence retained for audit
- Documented restore runbooks for each protected workload class
- Monthly protection report: success rate, storage trend, verification results
Signals
You probably need this if
- Your backup credentials are a domain account that an attacker could also obtain
- Nobody has performed a full restore test in the last twelve months
- Microsoft 365 data is assumed to be "backed up by Microsoft"
- Your only offsite copy is a drive somebody takes home
- You cannot state your recovery time objective in hours with a straight face
