Practice Area Overview
Most organizations have backup systems. Far fewer have recovery programs they've actually tested under realistic conditions. QVIA designs data protection and business continuity programs from the recovery objective backward — what needs to be recovered, how fast, and to what state. We implement backup infrastructure, test recovery procedures, develop business continuity plans, and align the whole program to the compliance requirements that apply to your industry. When an incident happens, you need a practiced response — not a plan that's never been run.

Why It Matters
Backups that have never been tested under realistic conditions are assumptions, not capabilities. We test recovery procedures regularly — against actual RTO and RPO targets — so you know what works before you need it.
Ransomware recovery requires immutable backups, isolated recovery environments, and a practiced response playbook. We design specifically for ransomware scenarios — not just traditional hardware failure and natural disaster scenarios.
HIPAA, financial services regulations, and government contracting frameworks all carry specific data retention requirements with real penalties for non-compliance. We align your retention policies to the frameworks you operate under — and document it.
Your goals, your constraints, and what better outcomes look like for your team — that's where we begin.
