Validate backup integrity, recoverability, resilience, and recovery readiness before a cyberattack, system failure, or disaster puts them to the test.
A successful backup does not always mean a successful recovery. Organizations often rely on backup dashboards, scheduled jobs, and completion reports as evidence of recoverability. However, backup success alone does not confirm that data is complete, protected from attackers, or capable of being restored within business-required timelines. Our Backup & Recovery Validation service independently assesses whether critical systems, applications, and data can be reliably restored when needed. We evaluate the complete backup and recovery lifecycle — from backup architecture and security controls to data integrity, restoration testing, recovery procedures, and achievement of defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO). The service provides organizations with measurable evidence of their ability to recover from ransomware, cyber incidents, infrastructure failures, data corruption, accidental deletion, and other disruptive events.

Talk to a Backup Validation ExpertBackup & Recovery Validation is an independent assessment that determines whether an organization's backups are properly configured, protected, complete, and capable of restoring critical systems and data within required recovery objectives.
A backup console may report that a backup job completed successfully, but this does not necessarily confirm that the data can be restored.
Our service validates actual recoverability, including backup integrity, restoration capability, security, dependencies, and recovery time.
Yes. Where included within the agreed scope, controlled recovery tests can be performed for selected systems, applications, databases, or data sets to demonstrate whether backups can actually be restored.
Yes. We compare defined Recovery Time Objectives and Recovery Point Objectives against the organization's actual backup configuration and observed recovery capabilities.
Yes. We assess whether attackers could compromise, encrypt, manipulate, or delete backup data and whether protected recovery copies would remain available following a ransomware attack.
Yes. Where immutability is implemented, we evaluate its configuration and effectiveness as part of the overall backup security and ransomware resilience assessment.
Yes. The assessment can evaluate on-site, off-site, cloud, offline, isolated, and hybrid backup strategies to determine whether sufficient recovery options are available during a major disruption.
Yes. The assessment is designed around recovery capability rather than a specific backup product and can evaluate environments using different backup, storage, virtualization, cloud, and disaster recovery technologies.
Yes. Relevant backup infrastructure, repositories, security settings, retention policies, administrative access, backup schedules, immutability settings, and other recovery-related configurations can be reviewed.
We can identify this as a recovery governance gap and work with relevant stakeholders to establish appropriate recovery requirements based on business criticality, operational dependencies, and acceptable downtime and data loss.
Not exactly. A Disaster Recovery exercise may test the broader activation and recovery of an entire DR environment. Backup & Recovery Validation specifically examines whether critical backup and recovery capabilities are technically sound, secure, and capable of meeting recovery requirements.
Yes. Recovery can fail even when a valid backup exists because supporting services are unavailable. We assess dependencies such as identity services, DNS, databases, storage, virtualization, network infrastructure, authentication, and other critical components.
You will have a clear understanding of which critical systems are adequately protected, whether backups can actually be restored, whether recovery objectives can be achieved, how resilient backups are against cyberattacks, and what improvements are required to strengthen organizational recovery readiness.
