Cybersecurity and backups: Protect everyday work. Plan for what comes next.
Nuagerie helps businesses protect access, back up their data and prepare for recovery. From workplace devices to cloud data, we organize follow-up and restoration tests.
Three complementary needs
Protect. Back up. Prepare to recover.
Protection reduces risk. Backups preserve recovery points. Recovery planning connects those copies with the people, tools and priorities your business relies on.
Protection
The right access. Layers that work together.
An account, a device and a network need different protections. We connect those measures to limit unnecessary access and reduce your environment’s exposure.
-
Better-managed accounts
Review permissions, set up multi-factor authentication and organize access for users and administrators.
-
Managed device protection
Coordinate updates, malware protection and the right settings on the computers and servers involved.
-
Controlled connections
Review remote access, network rules and web-service protection with the people responsible for them.
Backups
The data you need. Copies kept apart.
A deleted file, a lost device and an unavailable service are different problems. We organize backup copies around what your team needs to recover.
-
The right coverage
Identify the files, databases, accounts and settings needed, along with their dependencies and exclusions.
-
Separate destinations
Plan copies outside the main environment and control access to backups.
-
Follow-up on results
Organize job checks, failed-backup follow-up and capacity planning so the copies remain useful.
Recovery
Know what to restore. And how to get there.
Recovering files is one step. Getting a service back to work also takes access, dependencies and checks. We prepare that path with your team.
-
Your business priorities
Identify the data and services to restore first and the recent changes you need to preserve.
-
Tests with a purpose
Plan restoration checks for a selected scope and verify that the expected data or functions are usable.
-
A clear handover
Document the steps, required access and people to contact, then use the tests to refine the procedure.
Across your environment
From workplace devices to cloud data.
We start with your existing systems to connect their protection, backup copies and everyday management.
Computers and servers
Device protection, access and backups of the data you need, connected with day-to-day IT support.
Local storage and NAS
Permissions, external copies and restoration planning alongside storage management.
Applications and cloud infrastructure
Persistent data, configurations and dependencies to account for when recovering your services.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
External backup in Canada can complement protection for your email and files, based on the selected services and data.
Clear responsibilities
Set it up. Keep it useful.
An initial project can establish the foundations. Ongoing follow-up then accounts for new users, growing data and changes to your tools.
-
Review what is there
Identify important systems, existing protection and the backup copies actually available.
-
Prepare and check
Configure the selected measures, carry out the first checks and document clear instructions.
-
Arrange follow-up
Define who reviews results, follows up on alerts and plans the next checks.
We agree on the systems covered, licences and costs, backup frequency and retention, recovery objectives and follow-up. Initial setup and recurring management are separate parts of the engagement.
A closer look
Useful distinctions.
Technical details that help you choose suitable protection and backups.
How do the protective measures work together?
Each measure addresses a different part of the environment.
- Access: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds a factor to sign-in; permissions limit what an account can do. Access recovery also needs preparation.
- Systems: Updates, malware protection and network rules complement account protection. Tools are selected for the systems involved.
- Applications: A web application firewall (WAF) filters requests according to its rules. It complements application patches and configuration.
Are RAID, synchronization and snapshots backups?
These features can help, but they do not all perform the role of an independent copy.
- RAID: Some configurations tolerate disk failures. That alone does not retain an earlier version after deletion or corruption.
- Synchronization: It can propagate changes or deletions to other locations. Retained versions and restoration need separate consideration.
- Snapshots and copies: A snapshot depends on its storage and configuration. A backup strategy also plans the copies to keep outside the main system and how to verify them.
How do frequency, retention, RPO and RTO differ?
These parameters translate recovery needs into technical choices.
- Frequency and retention: Frequency determines when copies are made. Retention determines how long recovery points remain available.
- RPO: The recovery point objective expresses how much recent change the business can accept losing, measured in time.
- RTO: The recovery time objective expresses the acceptable interruption. Tests help assess the restoration path; an objective is not a guaranteed recovery time.
What does Canadian backup for Microsoft 365 or Google mean?
It means external copies stored in Canada and managed by Nuagerie for the selected data.
- Data covered: The mailboxes, files and other services to back up are defined around the tools, licences and available restoration options.
- Location: The location of backup copies does not move your suite’s primary data or mean that all processing and support take place in Canada.
- Separate services: Suite retention, recycle bins and version history are reviewed alongside the external backup copies.
Practical questions
Starting from the tools you have.
A few answers to prepare for our first conversation.
Do we have to replace all our current tools?
No. We first review what is in place, the access available and the needs to cover. Improvements may build on your current tools or involve targeted changes.
Can we start with just one environment?
Yes. You can start with email backups, a NAS or a group of devices. We identify the relevant dependencies so that this first scope makes sense.
Can we keep our existing backups?
It depends on what they can restore. We look at what they contain, where they are stored and who can access them. That review helps decide what to keep, check or complement.
How often are restores tested?
There is no preset frequency: the test schedule, its scope and who reviews the results are agreed in the engagement when follow-up is arranged. Each restoration check verifies that the expected data or functions are usable, and the procedure is refined based on the results.
Who handles follow-up after setup?
It depends on how responsibilities are shared: Nuagerie can take on the agreed follow-up or assist the people already responsible for your environment. We define that split with your team or current provider.
