Resilience

Managed backup and disaster recovery you can test and trust

Backups fail quietly. We operationalize backup success, retention, immutability options, and restore drills so recovery is a practiced capability—not a hope. Technical targets map to business RTO and RPO with owners named in the runbook, not only in a slide deck.

This managed service complements but does not replace your broader business continuity program—we link technical recovery to planning when you engage us for both, so exercises test what leadership actually cares about restoring first.

Reality check

Green backup jobs vs. provable recovery

Common drift

When “we have backups” means hope

Jobs show success while data is incomplete. Nobody has restored SQL in three years. Retention is “forever” until storage bills explode. Ransomware hits and immutability was never turned on.

  • Silent agent failures after OS upgrades
  • VMs excluded “temporarily” in 2021
  • No documented RTO/RPO per application
  • Restore tests canceled every quarter

Managed BCDR

When recovery is operated

Policies match criticality. Tests produce tickets and reports. Air-gap and immutable tiers exist where risk demands them. Incidents have a communication tree.

  • Backup coverage mapped to app inventory
  • Quarterly—or better—restore evidence
  • Escalation when immutability gaps appear
  • Runbooks executives can follow under stress

Capabilities

What we operate end to end

Expand each area for policy, platform care, validation, and incident coordination—we meet your stack where it is.

What to protect, how often, and how long—by workload criticality—with cost and compliance in the same conversation.

  • Alignment to legal hold and records requirements
  • Tiered retention: hot, warm, cold, and offline where needed

Job monitoring, dedupe health, storage capacity, and integration with infrastructure operations for agents and hosts.

  • Ticketed triage on repeated failures
  • Capacity forecasting before backup windows slip

Scheduled test restores and evidence your auditors and insurers increasingly ask for—file, application, and bare-metal paths as scoped.

  • Sample-based and full DR exercises
  • Documentation of what was restored, when, and by whom

Step-by-step recovery for tier-1 systems, dependency order, and communication trees so midnight bridges are not improvisation.

  • Failover and failback checklists
  • Vendor and carrier contact trees

Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, SaaS APIs, and hybrid data paths—as explicitly scoped, with gaps versus native tools written down.

  • Coordination with collaboration administration for tenant boundaries
  • Third-party backup tools when required for mail, Teams, or Drive

Coordination during ransomware or datacenter events with security, legal, and leadership—preserve, isolate, restore, and communicate in the right order.

  • Immutable copy verification under stress
  • Post-incident backup architecture hardening

Ransomware & audit

Design assumptions attackers test for you

We help you avoid “we thought it was immutable” Monday morning quarterbacks.

Immutability

Object-lock patterns and retention locks appropriate to your platform and regulatory posture.

Segregation

Backup admin accounts separated from domain admin where policies allow.

Offline & air-gap

Tape, vault, or isolated cloud accounts when risk warrants true separation.

Evidence

Test results and job logs mapped to control language for SOC 2 and ISO programs.

Legal hold

Technical execution of holds you authorize; strategy stays with counsel.

Tabletop tie-in

DR scripts exercised against realistic ransomware scenarios, not only datacenter fire drills.

Use cases

Where managed BCDR pays off

Ransomware readiness programs

Boards and insurers ask for proof—not slideware. We operationalize immutable tiers, test restores, and IR handoffs alongside your SOC.

  • Quarterly evidence packages
  • Clear “worst day” decision trees

Regulated industries

Healthcare, finance, and public sector need retention and testing discipline that survives scrutiny.

  • Audit-friendly documentation

Hybrid & multi-cloud

On-prem, IaaS, and SaaS in one recovery narrative—without three unrelated backup admins.

  • Single governance model across estates

Revenue Making Projects

Property owners can earn passive income by leasing space to intSignal for cell tower deployment. Regular payments in exchange for hosting towers on unused land or rooftops—a low-effort, long-term revenue stream.

We handle all aspects of site development, permitting, construction, and ongoing maintenance. You simply collect lease payments while improving connectivity in your area.

  • Monthly or annual lease payments
  • Long-term contracts (10-25 years)
  • No upfront investment required
  • Site development and permitting handled
  • Ongoing maintenance included
  • Property value enhancement

Our Approach

From assessment to operated recovery

Step 1

Discover

Application inventory, current backup tools, gaps, regulatory drivers, and RTO/RPO workshops with business owners.

Step 2

Design

Policy tiers, architecture for immutability and SaaS, retention economics, and RACI with security and legal.

Step 3

Implement

Job baselines, monitoring hooks, ticketing integration, and initial restore tests.

Step 4

Operate

Daily health, failure triage, capacity management, and cadenced test restores.

Step 5

Improve

Annual architecture review, ransomware scenario updates, and roadmap for platform changes.

Why intSignal

Benefits of operated backup and DR

Sleep better

Alerts that mean something and humans who respond—without waking the whole team for every dedupe warning.

Audit-ready evidence

Logs, test results, and ticket trails your GRC team can actually submit.

Ransomware-aware design

Immutable copies and offline patterns where appropriate, with testing that assumes bad actors.

Cost-aware retention

Tiered storage aligned to value and compliance—not infinite retention by default.

FAQ

Common questions

We are agnostic—we operate the stack you own or help you select one during design, without tying outcomes to a single vendor pitch.

At minimum quarterly for critical systems; higher frequency for regulated or high-change environments, with evidence retained.

Often scoped separately with explicit retention and legal hold considerations—we document gaps native tools do not cover.

We coordinate agents, storage, maintenance windows, and changes with server and infrastructure scope so backups stay healthy through patching and migrations.

Yes when scoped—architecture depends on risk, compliance, and RTO/RPO; we document deletion controls and test ransomware scenarios.
