06Backup & recoveryYour data needs a way back

- Backup solutions

- Storage, retention & recovery testing

Practical ISO 27001 topics for your business
Who can access your data?
Control over access rights, secure sign-in and employee onboarding and offboarding. Access should match roles and responsibilities.
How quickly can you resume work?
Make backup, recovery and continuity arrangements concrete. We help determine what needs to be recoverable and test recovery capabilities.
What happens during an incident?
A clear reporting route, agreed roles and focused follow-up. Including root cause analysis and improvements after an incident.
What does your supplier actually cover?
Understand supplier risks, cloud services and responsibilities. With clear agreements on access, security, backup and recovery.
Can your employees recognise the risks?
Practical awareness of phishing, secure collaboration and handling business information. Relevant to everyday work.
Where should improvements begin?
Identify risks and prioritise controls by business impact, feasibility and budget. Turn them into an achievable improvement plan.
Has a customer asked for evidence of information security, or do you want to develop an existing programme? We help you identify the next step.

The freedom
to choose.
Your software. Your data. Your control.
Freedom of choiceTransparencyAutonomy
Technology in service of your business
Linux & open source.
More control over your IT.
We see growing interest in Linux and open source. Behind it is a clear need: to decide which software you use, how your data is processed and which services are part of your digital environment.
The close integration of software with accounts, subscriptions and cloud services can raise questions about privacy, freedom of choice and dependency. Linux and open source offer opportunities to make more deliberate choices and keep more of your IT under your own management.
Together, we assess where these solutions fit: on workstations, on servers or as an alternative to a specific service. We consider your business processes, required applications, compatibility, security and management. Your business remains the starting point.

Practical solutions.
Well-founded decisions.
Right here, in the region.
Our approach to infrastructure
Cloud when necessary.
On-premises when possible.
Your business needs determine the solution. We weigh functionality, cost, management, dependencies and control over your data. On-premises where possible, cloud where necessary. The environment remains under your control.
Shared responsibility in practice
In the cloud.
In control of recovery.
Cloud services generally divide responsibilities between the provider and the customer. The exact split depends on the service, configuration and agreements. Your organisation retains a role in protecting and recovering its own data.
For each cloud service, we assess whether built-in recovery and retention features meet your business needs. Where necessary, we supplement them with backup and recovery provisions. This makes clear what the provider covers, what you need to arrange and how recovery works in practice.
Who does what?
Clearly document the responsibilities of the provider, your business and any administrators.
What must be recoverable?
Determine which data, settings and critical components need protection and recovery capabilities.
What is acceptable?
Agree recovery times, maximum acceptable data loss and retention periods in advance.
Does recovery actually work?
Test recovery procedures, access rights and dependencies, and document the results.
