You'll get value from this if

  • You believe you have backups but cannot remember the last time anyone tested a restore
  • Your insurer is asking pointed questions about your backup posture
  • You want a structured conversation with your IT person, not a vague chat

This is not

  • A formal backup and disaster recovery audit (that is the CIO Tech IT Audit, fixed scope, fixed fee)
  • A vendor pitch for a particular backup product
  • A substitute for engaging a specialist if you have already had a ransomware event
