A successful backup job isn't proof of recovery. We restore your critical systems in a controlled, isolated environment, measure how long it really takes and how much data you'd lose, then hand you the evidence - before an insurer, auditor, board or ransomware attack asks for it. We sell no backup software and don't run your backups, so the report has nothing to defend.
- Validation
- Live restore test
- Measured
- Recovery time + data loss
- Evidence
- Insurer-ready pack
- Independent
- No backup to sell
We restore your critical systems into a safe, isolated environment - never over production - and time every phase.
We prove the restored system boots, logs in and runs a real transaction, then measure the true recovery time and data loss.
You get an insurer-ready evidence pack and a prioritised plan - proof of recovery, not a backup report.
Organisations relying on backups they've never fully restore-tested - especially ahead of a cyber-insurance renewal, a board 'can we actually recover?' question, or Essential Eight uplift.
Independent by design: we sell no backup software and don't operate your backups, so the report has nothing to defend. Every test runs in an isolated environment, never over production, under a written scope.
We don't trust the green tick. We restore.
A backup job reporting success isn't proof you can recover. We restore your critical systems in an isolated environment, time every phase, and hand you the evidence - before an incident forces the question.
- 1Restore into isolation
Your system is rebuilt in a safe, sandboxed environment - never over production
- 2Boot and validate
We confirm it starts, logs in and runs a real transaction
- 3Measure the truth
Real recovery time and data-loss window, against the targets you assumed you had
- 4Hand over evidence
An insurer- and board-ready pack: pass or fail per system, timed
Recovery proven, not assumed · evidence in hand · gaps prioritised
In the box.
- A live, timed restore of agreed critical systems in an isolated environment - proven to boot, log in and run a real transaction, not just copy files back
- Your real recovery time and real data-loss window, measured against the targets you assume you have
- A vendor-neutral review of your current backup setup (Veeam, Zerto, Acronis, Azure, Microsoft 365 and SaaS data) - what's solid, what's risky, what's missing
- Essential Eight Regular Backups readiness mapping (the Australian government's baseline cyber security checklist) - an indicative view of the gaps, not a formal certification
- An evidence pack (timestamps, validation results, pass/fail per system) to support governance, audit and cyber-insurance conversations
- A prioritised, plain-English remediation roadmap you can action yourself or hand to your MSP
- A ransomware recovery tabletop - we walk your team through an encrypted-at-2am scenario against your actual environment
- Three engagement sizes: a single-system Recovery Reality Check, a multi-system Audit, or a full Resilience Program with BC/DR planning and runbooks
The process.
- 1
Scope
We agree the critical systems, success criteria and a safe isolated test environment in writing. We never restore over production.
- 2
Restore
Each agreed system is restored into the isolated environment, with every phase timed - provision, restore, boot, validate.
- 3
Validate
We confirm the data is intact, the application starts, a user can log in and a real transaction runs - then measure actual recovery time and data loss.
- 4
Report
You get a Recovery Assurance Report: evidence pack, readiness view and a prioritised remediation roadmap, walked through live.
- Operating, monitoring or managing your backups - this is an independent assessment, not a managed service
- Emergency or live incident recovery, and any guarantee of future recovery or insurer acceptance
- Formal Essential Eight certification or compliance sign-off
- Restoring over production systems, or any change outside the agreed scope
Sits alongside AI Exposure Validation as Orbit's resilience and cyber-risk work - the audit finds the gaps, then remediation, retesting or ongoing monitoring follow as separately scoped work.
All services →What's in the report
- An executive summary with your overall recovery-readiness position, in plain English
- Systems tested, the scope and the limitations - no jargon
- Your actual recovery time and data-loss window, measured against the targets you assumed
- Pass or fail per system, with evidence: timestamps, validation notes and screenshots
- Essential Eight Regular Backups readiness mapping, with the gaps to the next level
- A prioritised remediation roadmap - immediate, 30, 60 and 90-day actions
Hands-on, not theoretical.
The engineer behind Orbit managed a busy IT MSP for years and works hands-on with Veeam and Zerto - so the recovery stack this assesses is the kind that's been run first-hand, not just read about.
- Independent and vendor-neutral - we sell no backup software, so the findings have nothing to defend
- Every restore runs in an isolated environment, never over production, under a written scope
- Plain-English findings you own and can take to any provider - no lock-in
