Protect AWS data.Prove recovery early.

Backup matters when recovery is tested, explained, and trusted. We help regulated SMB teams turn backup into visible recovery confidence.

Built for FinTech and HealthTech teams where restore evidence, audit readiness, and business continuity matter.

Backup is not the outcome. Recoverability is.

The goal is not only to configure backups. The goal is to know what is protected, how recovery works, what has been tested, and what evidence your team can stand behind.

Know what is protected

Create clear visibility into AWS resources, backup coverage, retention, and protection gaps.

Know what can recover

Validate restore paths so recovery is based on tested outcomes, not assumptions.

Know what evidence exists

Produce recovery evidence your team can use with auditors, customers, leadership, and internal risk reviews.

Know what needs improvement

Turn backup and recovery into an operating rhythm with clear gaps, priorities, and improvement actions.

When recovery is assumed, risk stays hidden.

Backups can exist for years without proving the business can recover. Pressure appears when an audit, incident, onboarding review, or internal risk question asks for evidence the team cannot produce quickly.

Recovery is untested

Backups exist, but there is no certainty they will restore systems correctly when needed.

Protection is inconsistent

Different AWS accounts, workloads, databases, and storage layers may follow different backup patterns or no clear pattern at all.

Visibility is limited

Teams do not always know what is protected, what is excluded, what retention applies, or what can be recovered.

Evidence is hard to produce

Stakeholders expect proof that recovery works, not assumptions based on backup configuration alone.

An AWS-native recovery model built around evidence.

We use AWS-native services and operating discipline to create a recovery model that is centralised, policy-driven, tested, and easier to explain under review.

Centralise protection

Bring backup policies, protected resources, retention, and recovery posture into a clearer AWS operating model.

Automate backup coverage

Use policy-driven protection so critical AWS resources are backed up consistently across accounts and environments.

Separate recovery risk

Use account, region, encryption, and vault patterns to reduce the chance that one mistake or incident compromises recovery options.

Test restore paths

Run repeatable restore validation so the business knows what recovery looks like before pressure arrives.

Report recovery readiness

Create visibility into backup status, restore testing, coverage gaps, and recovery evidence.

Improve continuously

Review backup posture, test outcomes, gaps, and recovery priorities as part of the operating rhythm.

From implementation through delivery

Expand each block to review implementation scope, fit signals, recovery outcomes, standalone or managed platform paths, and the staged delivery approach.

What we put in place.

Implementation

The implementation is scoped around the recovery confidence your business needs next, not around unnecessary backup complexity.

BACKUP POLICY DESIGN

Define backup plans, schedules, retention, lifecycle rules, protected resources, and tagging patterns aligned to business needs.

AWS BACKUP CONFIGURATION

Implement centralised backup management for supported AWS services across the accounts and workloads in scope.

VAULT AND IMMUTABILITY POSTURE

Configure vault patterns, encryption, and retention controls to strengthen protection against deletion, tampering, and operational mistakes.

CROSS-ACCOUNT AND CROSS-REGION PATTERNS

Design recovery separation where the business needs stronger resilience across AWS accounts or regions.

RESTORE TESTING RHYTHM

Create repeatable restore checks that validate recovery paths and produce evidence your team can review.

REPORTING AND EVIDENCE

Provide backup visibility, recovery readiness reporting, test outcomes, and operational records stakeholders can understand.

This is for you if...

Fit

If several of the signals below reflect your operating reality, AWS-backed recovery confidence may be a practical next conversation.

YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT YOUR AWS BACKUPS WILL WORK

Recovery is configured, but restore outcomes have not been proven.

YOU NEED RECOVERY EVIDENCE FOR AUDIT OR ONBOARDING

Customers, auditors, or internal stakeholders need proof your recovery posture can be explained.

YOUR AWS BACKUP COVERAGE IS FRAGMENTED

Accounts, databases, storage, and workloads are protected inconsistently or are hard to review.

YOU WANT BACKUP TO BECOME AN OPERATING RHYTHM

Protection, restore testing, reporting, and improvement need to become part of how the platform runs.

What you get.

Outcomes

These outcomes are what the programme is designed to deliver: policy-driven backup, tested restore paths, visibility, and evidence stakeholders can understand.

CONFIDENCE YOUR AWS DATA CAN RECOVER

Confidence that AWS data can be recovered when it matters, with restore paths teams have validated.

POLICY-DRIVEN BACKUP AND RECOVERY

A consistent, policy-driven approach to AWS backup and recovery across accounts and workloads in scope.

VISIBILITY INTO PROTECTION AND READINESS

Visibility into protection, restore testing, and recovery readiness your operators can review.

EVIDENCE FOR STAKEHOLDER EXPECTATIONS

Evidence that supports audit, onboarding, and stakeholder expectations without ad hoc rebuilds.

Standalone recovery path or ...

Paths

Data Protection and Recovery can solve a specific recovery-confidence trigger on its own, or extend the AWS Managed Platform when backup, restore testing, and reporting need to become part of ongoing operations.

StandaloneStandalone solution
Solve recovery confidence as the main priority when audit, gaps, or customer review is the trigger.

Use this when the immediate trigger is audit readiness, restore confidence, recovery gaps, or evidence for customer review.

Explore AWS Managed PlatformManaged platform extension
Make backup and recovery posture part of the managed rhythm, not only a project deliverable.

Use this when recovery confidence needs to be built into the ongoing AWS operating model, with ownership, reporting, and improvement.

Explore AWS Managed Platform
Explore Zero Trust SecurityWorks with Zero Trust
Answer both who can access systems and how systems recover when stakeholders expect both.

Recovery evidence pairs with access governance when stakeholders need to understand both who can access systems and how systems can recover.

Explore resilience testingWorks with Resilience Testing
Combine restore testing with wider validation when the business needs assurance under pressure.

Restore testing can sit alongside functional, performance, and security validation when the business needs wider assurance under pressure.

How we move from backup assumptions ...

Delivery

The work is practical, scoped, and focused on creating recovery confidence your team can use under pressure.

  1. 1

    Understand the recovery pressure

    We start with the business moment: audit, onboarding, incident concern, recovery gap, compliance expectation, or stakeholder review.

  2. 2

    Assess current protection

    We review accounts, workloads, backup coverage, retention, restore paths, evidence gaps, and operational ownership.

  3. 3

    Design the AWS recovery model

    We define the backup policies, account patterns, vault controls, restore testing rhythm, and reporting approach that fit the business need.

  4. 4

    Implement and validate

    We configure the recovery model, close priority gaps, run restore checks, and document what recovery evidence exists.

  5. 5

    Operate and improve

    Recovery becomes part of the operating rhythm through reporting, review, testing, improvement, and ongoing platform support.

AWS services used as recovery building blocks.

The value is not just enabling AWS services. The value is shaping them into a recovery model your team can operate, test, and explain.
