Why Backup and Disaster Recovery Is a Security Control, Not Just an IT Function

Ransomware has fundamentally changed the relationship between backup, disaster recovery, and cybersecurity. An organization with a well-designed, tested backup program can recover from a ransomware attack without paying the ransom. An organization without one faces a choice between paying attackers or losing potentially irreplaceable data and experiencing weeks of operational disruption. Beyond ransomware, backup and disaster recovery programs protect against hardware failures, accidental deletion, natural disasters, and the wide range of incidents that can interrupt business operations. PlutoSec approaches backup and disaster recovery from a security-first perspective, designing programs that are resilient against the specific attack techniques attackers use to identify and destroy backups before triggering ransomware.

Backup architecture design with immutable storage and air-gapped copies to resist ransomware

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) definition and architecture alignment

Backup integrity verification and recovery testing programs

Business impact analysis to identify critical systems and appropriate recovery priorities

Disaster recovery plan documentation and testing exercises

Cloud-based disaster recovery and backup-as-a-service implementation

A Backup That Has Never Been Tested Is Not a Backup You Can Count On

Ransomware Recovery

Recover from ransomware attacks without paying the ransom by maintaining verified, attacker-resistant backup copies

RTO Assurance

Meet your recovery time objectives when incidents occur rather than discovering your RTO was unrealistic during an actual crisis

Audit and Insurance Readiness

Demonstrate backup and recovery controls to auditors and cyber insurers, which directly affects your insurance premiums and coverage

Double Extortion Defense

Protect against the growing trend of double extortion ransomware that targets backups before deploying encryption

Business Continuity Alignment

Align your recovery capabilities with business continuity requirements so critical operations can resume within defined timeframes

Compliance Coverage

Meet compliance requirements for backup and recovery including HIPAA, PCI DSS, and SOC 2 availability criteria

How PlutoSec Designs and Validates Your Backup and Disaster Recovery Program

A backup program that looks complete on paper and fails during recovery is worse than no program at all because it creates false confidence. Our approach focuses on building resilience that has been validated, not just documented.

Business impact analysis: we work with your teams to identify critical systems, data, and processes, and define RTO and RPO requirements that reflect actual business needs

Current state assessment: existing backup architecture, retention policies, and recovery procedures are evaluated for coverage gaps, single points of failure, and ransomware resilience

Architecture design: we design a backup architecture that incorporates immutable storage, off-site copies, access controls, and encryption to protect backups from the same attacks that target production systems

Implementation and configuration: backup solutions are deployed and configured with policies aligned to defined RTOs and RPOs

Recovery testing: we conduct tabletop exercises and live recovery tests to validate that backups are working and recovery procedures meet defined time objectives

Ongoing program management: backup jobs are monitored, tested regularly, and updated as your environment and business requirements change

Backup and Disaster Recovery Programs Designed for Today's Ransomware Reality

PlutoSec Builds Recovery Architectures That Attackers Cannot Destroy Before You Need Them

Modern ransomware operators spend days or weeks inside target environments before deploying encryption, specifically looking for and destroying backup systems in the process. A backup program designed without understanding that threat model is not a genuine defense against ransomware. PlutoSec brings cybersecurity expertise to backup and disaster recovery design, building programs that are resilient against the specific techniques attackers use to eliminate recovery options. We help organizations across every US industry sector build backup and recovery programs that they can genuinely rely on when the worst happens.
