RiT Global designs and manages backup and disaster recovery strategy — including immutable, ransomware-resistant copies — with recovery procedures tested before you ever need them.
A backup you've never tested restoring isn't a backup — it's a hope. RiT Global designs backup and disaster recovery strategy around the modern threat that matters most: ransomware that specifically targets and encrypts backup systems. That means immutable, offline, and geographically separated copies, combined with recovery procedures we actually rehearse on a schedule.
Every environment gets defined Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) matched to business impact — not a one-size-fits-all nightly backup — and a documented business continuity plan covering the people and process side of an outage, not just the technology.
Write-once, ransomware-resistant backup copies stored separately from production and primary backup systems.
3-2-1-1 strategy combining local speed with offsite and cloud durability.
Documented, automated failover procedures for critical systems and applications.
People, process and communication planning alongside the technical recovery plan.
We design every backup architecture around the updated 3-2-1-1 standard — the one immutable copy is what specifically defeats ransomware that targets connected backup systems.
| Phase | Activity |
|---|---|
| Declare | Incident confirmed as requiring formal DR activation |
| Notify | Stakeholders and recovery team activated per BCP |
| Failover | Critical systems restored to standby environment per RTO |
| Validate | Data integrity and application function confirmed |
| Communicate | Status updates to leadership and affected users |
| Failback | Return to primary environment once safe |
Quarterly test restores mean recovery procedures are proven before an actual crisis.
Immutable, offline copies can't be encrypted even if an attacker reaches your network.
Leadership knows exactly how long recovery takes for every critical system, in advance.

| Capability | Essential | Advanced | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Backup Frequency | Nightly | Hourly for critical systems | Continuous replication |
| Immutable Copy | — | Included | Included + extended retention |
| Recovery Testing | Annual | Semi-annual | Quarterly |
| DR Orchestration | Manual runbook | Semi-automated | Fully automated failover |
An immutable backup is written once and cannot be modified, deleted, or encrypted for a defined retention period — even by an administrator account, which is what defeats ransomware targeting backup systems.
Quarterly, at minimum, for Tier 1 and Tier 2 systems, with documented results provided as part of your compliance evidence.
Backup protects data; disaster recovery is the orchestrated process of restoring full business operations, including systems, applications, and the people/communication plan around an outage.
Yes, for Tier 1 systems we design continuous replication and automated failover architectures specifically to meet sub-1-hour recovery objectives.
We'll review your current backup architecture and run a real recovery test to show you where the gaps are.
