>_ Because Hope Is Not a Strategy

Data loss doesn't happen to "other companies" — it happens to companies that didn't plan for it. Whether it's ransomware encrypting your file server, a failed RAID array, or a building fire, Pearson Cyber Defense ensures your business can recover fast.

We design and implement backup strategies that cover every critical system — servers, endpoints, cloud applications, and databases. Every backup is monitored, verified, and tested regularly. When disaster strikes, we don't scramble — we execute.

>_ What's Included

01

Automated Backups

Scheduled backups for servers, workstations, and cloud apps. Image-based, file-level, and application-aware backup strategies tailored to each system.

02

Rapid Recovery

Bare-metal restore, instant VM boot from backup, and granular file recovery. Get systems back online in minutes, not days.

03

Ransomware Recovery

Immutable backup copies that ransomware cannot encrypt. Air-gapped and offsite replicas ensure you always have a clean recovery point.

04

DR Planning & Documentation

Comprehensive disaster recovery plans with documented procedures, contact trees, and priority system lists. Updated and reviewed quarterly.

05

DR Testing & Validation

Scheduled disaster recovery drills and failover tests. We prove your DR plan works before you need it, with documented results and gap remediation.

06

Cloud & Offsite Replication

Backup replication to secure offsite locations and cloud storage. Geographic redundancy ensures data survives even site-level disasters.

>_ Frequently Asked Questions

Frequency depends on your tier and RPO requirements. Essential includes daily backups, Professional offers hourly backups, and Enterprise can do continuous data protection (CDP) with recovery points as recent as seconds. We configure the schedule based on how much data you can afford to lose.

Yes. Our Professional and Enterprise tiers include immutable backup copies that cannot be modified or deleted, even by ransomware with admin credentials. We also maintain air-gapped offsite replicas and use backup solutions with built-in ransomware detection.

With our image-based backup technology, we can boot a full server directly from backup as a virtual machine in under 15 minutes. Full bare-metal restore to new hardware typically takes 1-4 hours depending on data volume. We test and document recovery times for all critical systems.

Yes. Microsoft 365 data (Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams) is not fully protected by Microsoft's native retention. We deploy dedicated Microsoft 365 backup with granular recovery for emails, files, SharePoint sites, and Teams conversations.
