The decision
Data Protection
A data protection and recovery review establishes whether critical services can be restored within the conditions the organisation actually expects.
Praetorian assesses protection scope, recovery dependencies, test evidence and operational ownership before recommending technology or design changes.
Questions we help answer
The useful questions usually appear before the technology choice.
How we think
Engineering principles
Recovery confidence is proven, not assumed.
Data protection must follow the service, not just the server.
A backup that cannot be restored in context is not resilience.
Signals
When this needs attention
- Backups are green but restores are rarely tested.
- Application dependencies are not captured in recovery plans.
- RPO and RTO are stated but not operationally verified.
- Cloud, SaaS and on-premises protection are treated as separate conversations.
The Praetorian method
Understand. Design. Deliver. Improve.
Define what matters
Identify critical services, data sets, dependencies and acceptable recovery behaviour.
Test the recovery chain
Validate restore capability, permissions, sequencing, immutability and operational ownership.
Prove recovery works
Use restore tests and operational records to show that the organisation can recover when required.
Operational Intelligence
Evidence brought together before change begins.
Operational intelligence combines experience, engineering judgement, operational knowledge, vendor contribution, business context and analytical tooling to improve the decision before the environment is changed.
What good looks like
Clear decisions and controlled change.
