Continuity

Immutable, tested backups with agreed recovery objectives.

DVSN AI designs and operates backup and recovery for the systems an organization cannot afford to lose: workstations, servers, cloud workloads and the data held in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. Recovery point and recovery time objectives are defined per system, restores are tested on a schedule, and the results are reported.

Copies an attacker cannot reach, restores rehearsed on a schedule, objectives agreed in advance.

What is included

Service scope

  • Endpoint and server backup

    Image and file-level backup for workstations and physical or virtual servers with local and off-site copies.

  • SaaS backup

    Independent backup of Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace mail, files, calendars and collaboration data beyond the platform's native retention.

  • Cloud workload backup

    Snapshot and cross-region or cross-account backup for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud workloads.

  • Immutable and off-site copies

    Copies that cannot be altered or deleted for a defined retention period, held separately from production credentials.

  • Recovery objectives and restore testing

    Recovery point and recovery time objectives documented per system, with file, system and full-site restores tested on a defined schedule and reported.

  • Continuity planning

    Written continuity plans covering communications, alternate ways of working and the order in which systems are brought back.


How it is delivered

How the service runs

01

Objectives agreed per system

Each system carries a recovery point and recovery time objective agreed in discovery, and the backup design follows from them.

  • Systems classified by business impact with leadership
  • Recovery point and recovery time documented per system
  • Backup schedule, retention and storage tier designed to the objectives
  • Objectives reviewed when systems or the business change

WorkstationsStandardDailyNext day

Nothing here is fixed. How much each system may lose and how fast it must be back are decided with you in discovery, and the backup design follows from those choices.

02

Isolated from the attacker

Backups are held where compromised production credentials cannot reach them, with immutability enforced for the retention period.

  • Separate credentials and accounts for backup infrastructure
  • Immutable and off-site copies with enforced retention
  • Alerting on deletion attempts and configuration changes
  • Periodic verification that copies are complete and restorable
03

Rehearsed recovery

Restores are tested on a schedule and the continuity plan is exercised, so recovery is a procedure rather than an improvisation.

  • Monthly file-level and quarterly full-system restore tests with results reported
  • Recovery order documented in the continuity plan

What sets DVSN AI apart

01
Tested, not assumed
Restore tests run on a schedule and the results are reported, so recovery objectives are demonstrated rather than promised.
02
Isolated by design
Immutable, off-site copies held under separate credentials are the baseline, so a compromised account cannot reach them.
03
Covers SaaS as well as servers
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data are backed up independently of the platform's native retention.
