Backup Audit · Cambridge
Backup Audit in Cambridge
A backup audit for Cambridge organisations, beginning with what is not backed up at all. The cloud platforms holding your email, files and customer records protect their infrastructure, not your data — deletions and corruptions propagate faithfully, and the vendor's retention window is shorter than most organisations assume.
Why this comes up
The problem
Servers are backed up nightly, the customer records in the cloud CRM are not backed up by anyone.
What you get
What we deliver
- Coverage established across everything, including the platforms nobody thought about
- Vendor retention checked against your own recovery requirements
- Copies verified as separated — a backup reachable from a compromised network is not one
- Immutability assessed, since ransomware now targets the backups first
- Retention compared against how long an intrusion can go unnoticed
- Recovery times measured against what the business would actually tolerate

Backup Audit in Cambridge — common questions
- Is cloud data really not backed up?
- Not in the sense organisations mean. Providers replicate for availability and offer a limited recovery window for deletions, but a mailbox emptied months ago, a record overwritten by a bad import, or a departed user's files removed on schedule are frequently gone for good.
- Why does immutability matter now?
- Because attackers delete backups before encrypting anything. Ransomware operators specifically look for backup systems and credentials, so copies that cannot be altered or removed for a fixed period are what turns a catastrophe into an expensive weekend.
- How long should retention be?
- Longer than an intrusion can hide. Compromises are frequently discovered weeks after they began, and a backup cycle keeping only two weeks means every available copy contains the attacker — so retention is a security decision as much as a storage one.
- What about recovery time?
- It is usually the finding that surprises people most. Having a backup and being able to restore forty terabytes over an available connection within a working day are different propositions, and an organisation that has never measured the second one is planning around a number nobody has verified.
- Do you work with businesses across Cambridgeshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout East of England, including Cambridge and the surrounding Cambridgeshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cambridge businesses do you usually work with?
- Deep-tech and biotech clients bring genuinely technical briefs, often involving data pipelines, instrumentation or research tooling. Beyond that we work across Technology, Life Sciences, Research, Higher Education and Biotech.
- Do you cover the areas around Cambridge?
- Yes — we work throughout East of England, including Norwich, Milton Keynes, London, Northampton. Cambridge is an urban area of roughly 150,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cambridgeshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
