Find out what you could actually restore, and how long it would take

Everyone has a backup. Far fewer have a restore. The question worth answering is not whether jobs are running, it is when somebody last proved one and how long the business would be down.

Free45 minutes, plus a written recovery position within three working days

Who books this

  • Nobody can say when a restore was last tested
  • You are not certain what Microsoft 365 retention actually covers
  • An insurer or auditor has asked about immutable backup
  • You have backups from more than one product and nobody owns the whole picture

What you get

  • What is covered, what is not, and what you may believe is covered and is not
  • A recovery order for the systems that matter, with realistic times
  • A straight answer on whether your backups are immutable and what that means here
  • What to test first, so the next restore is proved rather than assumed

What we need from you

  • What is currently backed up and with which product, however roughly
  • Which systems the business genuinely cannot run without for a day
  • Any recovery time you have been asked to commit to, by an insurer or a contract
When not to book this

If you have tested restores on a schedule this year, hold immutable copies and could state your recovery times from memory, you are ahead of nearly everyone and do not need this.

Other assessments

  • Microsoft estate review: Forty-five minutes and a written summary. What you are licensed for, what is switched on, where the gaps are, and what we would fix first.
  • Security posture review: Most of what we find is not missing products. It is features you already pay for that were never switched on. Forty-five minutes to find out which.
  • Cloud cost review: Non-production running around the clock, orphaned resources nobody decommissioned, and licences still assigned to leavers. Forty-five minutes to quantify yours.
  • Cyber Essentials readiness check: The five control themes, checked against what you actually run. Most first-time failures are the same handful of things, and all of them are cheaper to fix before you apply.
  • Application compatibility assessment: Migrations do not stall on operating systems, they stall on a handful of applications nobody can account for. This sorts your estate into the four groups that actually matter, before you commit budget to any of it.
  • Virtual desktop review: Whether you are choosing between Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 or already running one and paying more than you expected, this is the same review: what the estate is doing, what it costs, and what it should cost.
  • Copilot readiness check: Copilot does not grant anyone a single permission they did not already have. It just makes what they already had very easy to find, which is why the permissions work belongs before the licences and not after.
  • Application and reporting discovery: Most bespoke software goes wrong at scoping rather than in the build, and the most valuable thing a first conversation can do is establish whether you should be commissioning software at all.
  • Endpoint and Intune review: Not whether Intune says the estate is compliant, but whether that means what you think it means: what is enrolled, what has gone quiet, which policies are actually winning, and what you could prove if somebody asked.
