3-2-1-1-0 by design Three copies, two media, one offsite, one immutable, zero failed restores.

Backup & replication, built for the hour you need to recover.

Most backups work — until you need them. When ransomware hits, when a VM corrupts, when someone deletes the wrong SharePoint site, the only question that matters is whether recovery actually works. We design, deploy, and test recovery against measurable RTO and RPO targets across immutable, air-gapped, and replicated copies — managed by a Canadian MSSP with the SOC and IR teams that handle the rest of the incident.

Immutable & air-gapped by default
Quarterly recovery testing included
Canadian-hosted, Canadian-staffed
What you get

Recovery you’ve actually tested.

Backups that haven’t been restored are hopes, not controls. Every engagement is tied to measurable recovery targets, proven on a schedule your auditors and your insurer can see.

<1 hr
Tier-0 RTO
Mission-critical workloads recover in under an hour with continuous replication and orchestrated failover.
4/yr
Recovery tests
Quarterly live-fire restores against every workload tier — evidence packaged for SOC 2, ISO, and insurers.
3-2-1-1-0
Resilience rule
Three copies, two media, one offsite, one immutable, zero failed restores — built in, not bolted on.

MSSP accountable
Backup, replication, DR orchestration, and ransomware recovery — one team, one contract, one pager.
What's included

Twelve services, three layers.

Protect covers every workload worth keeping. Replicate & Recover gets you back online. Prove makes sure it actually works before you need it to.

Protect

Every workload, every copy

Workload & VM Backup

Physical, virtual, and cloud workloads backed up with application-aware snapshots, global deduplication, and verified recoverability.

Stack: Veeam, NAKIVO, Commvault, Azure Backup, AWS Backup, Hyper-V & VMware native

Endpoint & Workstation Backup

Laptops, desktops, and remote workers protected against device loss, ransomware encryption, and accidental deletion — without killing productivity.

Stack: Veeam Endpoint, Acronis, Druva, native OS integration

SaaS Backup (M365, Google, Salesforce)

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce, and Entra ID protected independently — because the vendor’s retention policy isn’t a backup strategy.

Stack: Veeam for M365, Backblaze, AvePoint, Spanning

Database & Application Backup

Application-consistent backups for SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Exchange, SharePoint, and line-of-business apps. Transaction-log shipping where it matters.

Immutable & Air-Gapped Storage

Object-lock immutable copies plus air-gapped offline tier. The one copy ransomware can’t encrypt, delete, or negotiate with.

Stack: S3 Object Lock, Azure Immutable Blob, Backblaze B2, LTO tape rotation

Replicate & Recover

When the worst day arrives

Replication & DR Orchestration

Synchronous or asynchronous replication between sites and cloud, with orchestrated failover scripts that actually run end-to-end — not just on paper.

Stack: Veeam Replication, Zerto, Azure Site Recovery, VMware SRM

Cloud DR & Failover

Warm-standby and pilot-light DR environments in Azure, AWS, or Canadian sovereign cloud. Pay for what you need, burst when you need it.

Ransomware Recovery

Clean-room recovery from immutable copies, threat-actor containment coordinated with your SOC and IR teams, and verified restoration — with no reinfection.

Data Restore & File Recovery

Granular restore from file to full VM to entire site, with self-service portals for day-to-day requests. Hours-to-minutes on common recoveries.

Prove

Because tested is the only kind that counts

Recovery Testing Program

Quarterly live-fire recovery tests against every workload tier, with timing, evidence, and gap tracking. What auditors want to see; what your insurer now requires.

DR Runbook Development

Runbooks per application, per failover scenario, with decision trees, dependency maps, and executive communication templates. Maintained, not shelved.

BCDR Advisory

Business impact analysis, RTO/RPO target-setting, tier design, vendor selection, and budget advisory. Aligned to ISO 27031, NIST CSF Recover, and CyberSecure Canada.

Recovery readiness

Backups aren’t the product. Recovery is.

Vendor dashboards love green checkmarks on last night’s job. They don’t restore systems. Our recovery readiness program flips the frame: we run live-fire restores on a fixed cadence, time them against your stated RTO/RPO, document the evidence, and close the gaps that surface — so the first time you execute a full recovery isn’t the day the ransom note arrives.

  • Quarterly recovery tests per workload tier, with timing and evidence
  • Clean-room restore validation to catch ghost persistence
  • Audit-ready reports for SOC 2, ISO 27001, CyberSecure Canada, cyber-insurance
  • Gap tracking tied directly to DR runbook updates

Quarterly report, board-ready, gap-closed

One MSSP. Detection, response, and the backups that get you back.

Backup is the last honest control when ransomware gets past the rest. When it’s wired to the same MSSP running your SOC and your IR retainer, detection, containment, and clean-room recovery happen on one bridge, with one chain of custody, in one contract — instead of a vendor-blame call at 3 a.m.

Backup, replication, and DR partners
Vendor-agnostic by design, with tier-1 partnerships across the platforms your environment actually runs on — and alignment with the frameworks auditors and insurers now expect.

Recovery tier matrix

Not every workload is a Tier 0. Price accordingly.

Flat-rate backup charges you the same for the CRM and the intern’s laptop. Tiered recovery matches the protection to the business value, so you pay for resilience where it matters and standard restores everywhere else.

  • T0Mission-critical
    Continuous replication, orchestrated failover Customer-facing platforms, trading systems, ERPs where every minute of downtime is a material cost.
    RTO < 1 hrRPO < 15 min
  • T1Business-critical
    Async replication + immutable backup Core LOB apps, email, collaboration, and databases that the business can tolerate briefly but not for long.
    RTO < 4 hrRPO < 1 hr
  • T2Important
    Daily backup + offsite immutable copy Departmental systems, reporting, file shares, and non-transactional workloads with same-day recovery needs.
    RTO < 24 hrRPO < 24 hr
  • T3Standard
    Daily backup, standard retention Archival systems, dev/test environments, and user workstations — protected, retained, recoverable on business cadence.
    RTO < 72 hrRPO < 24 hr

Every workload is mapped to a tier during onboarding based on a short business-impact analysis. You pay for Tier-0 resilience where it earns its cost — and standard rates everywhere else.

Every tier includes immutable copies, air-gapped retention, and quarterly recovery testing. The tier sets the RTO/RPO target, the tooling, and the price — not whether you get tested.

Tiers are reviewed annually, or whenever a material business change (new application, acquisition, compliance obligation) shifts what "critical" means.

How we engage

Three models. Same restore discipline.

Managed end-to-end, designed-and-handed-back, or a DR program that keeps your existing backup working the way it was supposed to. Whichever fits, the testing cadence doesn’t change.

Model B

Backup Design & Build

Project-based architecture, deployment, and runbook development. Handed back to your internal team with training.

  • Business impact analysis & tier design
  • Vendor selection and sizing
  • Deployment, migration, and cutover
  • DR runbook and test plan delivered
  • Optional 90-day hypercare
Best for: organizations with internal backup operators but needing design rigor, vendor-neutral architecture, or a modernization project delivered on a schedule.
Model C

DR Program / BCDR Retainer

You keep running your backups. We bring the testing discipline, runbook maintenance, and audit evidence.

  • Quarterly recovery tests against your existing stack
  • DR runbook development and maintenance
  • Annual business impact analysis refresh
  • Audit and insurer-facing evidence packaging
  • Optional tabletop exercises
Best for: organizations with working backups but no formalized DR program, no tested runbooks, and an insurer or auditor now asking pointed questions.

Find out what your recovery actually looks like.

A 30-minute recovery assessment: we walk through your current backup stack, tier your workloads against business impact, and flag the gaps your insurer is most likely to ask about. No deck. Just a punch list and a conversation.
