The Cost of Minutes
The average UK SME loses over £3,000 per hour during an IT outage. Disaster Recovery isn't just an IT expense; it’s business insurance against total revenue loss.
Backup vs. Recovery
A backup is just a copy of data. Recovery is the ability to use it. Without a failover plan, restoring a 1TB server from a standard backup can take 24–48 hours.
The 3-2-1-1 Rule
Modern resilience requires 3 copies of data, on 2 different media, 1 offsite, and 1 immutable. We ensure your data is physically locked against encryption.
Human Error Risk
75% of data loss is caused by accidental deletion or internal mismanagement. We provide "Point-in-Time" snapshots to rewind your infrastructure to a safe state.
The British Library Breach: A Return to the Pre-Digital Age.
Size and prestige are no protection against total data loss. In October 2023, the British Library was hit by a devastating ransomware attack that forced one of the world’s most significant research institutions back into a "pre-digital state" for months. Without a managed disaster recovery plan, their entire digital catalogue, website, and internal systems were effectively destroyed, proving that even a national treasure can be silenced overnight.
The Entry Point
Attackers gained access through a legacy remote-access server that lacked Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). A single compromised credential allowed the Rhysida hacking group to bypass years of traditional perimeter security and move laterally through the entire network undetected.
600GB of Data Leaked
The attackers didn't just lock the systems; they exfiltrated 500,000 sensitive files before encrypting the servers. The library remained offline for over 100 days, costing an estimated £7 million to recover—nearly 40% of their total financial reserves—just to rebuild what was lost.
