Know where your data lives and how you would recover it.

Business data can be spread across databases, shared folders, computers and cloud applications. IronPoint helps identify the systems that hold important information and review how that information is accessed, maintained and protected. A useful plan considers both everyday availability and what happens after an interruption.

Our data services include database design, maintenance and security, alongside backup monitoring and recovery planning. We can also help with reporting and business intelligence requirements where operational data needs to become clearer information for your team. The right scope depends on your platforms, data volumes and business priorities.

How we help

Database management

Assist with database design, implementation, maintenance and access controls for business applications.

Backup coverage

Review which servers, computers and cloud data are included, along with scheduling, retention and protection.

Recovery planning

Identify restoration priorities, dependencies and recovery steps for important business systems.

Reporting and insight

Help define reporting and dashboard requirements that make operational information more useful.

Backup copies are one part of recovery. Our IT disaster recovery planning also considers the applications, equipment, access and restoration order needed to resume work.

What to expect

We start by identifying critical data, its owners and the systems that create or use it. We then review backup coverage, retention needs and restoration requirements. Where recovery testing is in scope, we agree on a suitable test and record what it shows. Backup completion alone is not a guarantee that every business system can be restored within the time you need.

Common questions

Does having a backup mean we have a disaster recovery plan?

No. A recovery plan also needs to address applications, infrastructure, access, dependencies and the order of restoration. Backups are an important part of that plan.

Can you guarantee recovery of lost or damaged data?

Recovery depends on the condition of the data and the availability and integrity of usable backups. We assess the situation before confirming an approach or setting expectations.
