Data Protection & Recovery Planning
Backup & Business Continuity
Your firm’s data — client files, emails, documents, billing records — is irreplaceable. Backup and business continuity planning ensures that when something goes wrong, whether it’s a hardware failure, ransomware attack, or natural disaster, you have a clear path to recovery. We design layered backup strategies and test them regularly so you’re not guessing about what can be restored.
Layered Backup Planning
Designing backup strategies that include multiple layers of protection — not relying on a single method or location for your firm's critical data.
Local & Cloud Options
Combining on-site backup for fast recovery with cloud backup for offsite protection. The right mix depends on your firm's recovery priorities and budget.
Monitoring & Alerts
Automated monitoring to verify that backups are completing successfully, with alerts when something needs attention.
Restore Testing
Periodically testing restores to confirm that backups are actually recoverable. A backup that can't be restored when needed isn't a backup.
Recovery Priorities
Documenting which systems and data need to be recovered first, and establishing realistic recovery time expectations for different scenarios.
Internet Redundancy
Exploring secondary internet connections so your firm can maintain basic operations if your primary connection goes down.
Recovery capabilities and timeframes depend on the backup solution implemented, the amount of data involved, and the nature of the incident. We help set realistic expectations during planning.
