Backup and recovery for essential information
CYAN DataGuardian™ brings clarity and control to how essential information is protected, backed up and recovered. It is designed for organisations that want confidence in their backup and recovery arrangements, without uncertainty around what is covered, how recovery works, or who is responsible.
When CYAN DataGuardian™ is the right fit
This service is often the right fit when:
Information sits across multiple systems and platforms.
- Backups exist, though clarity around what is protected is limited.
- Older systems are retained “just in case”.
- Recovery has not been proven under real conditions.
There is a quiet concern about how a failure would be handled.
Nothing may be wrong. More often, responsibility has increased and uncertainty around recovery has become harder to ignore.
What CYAN DataGuardian™ covers
CYAN DataGuardian™ takes responsibility for the information your organisation relies on, wherever it sits, so coverage is clear and nothing essential is left unmanaged.
That typically includes:
- Microsoft 365 data
- Business-critical servers
- Key applications and shared data
Protection is defined deliberately, with agreed expectations around what is covered and how recovery would work.
This gives the organisation clear ownership of backup and recovery across the information it depends on every day.
How CYAN DataGuardian™ is delivered
We focus on four key areas to make sure essential information is protected and recoverable:
Defining what needs to be protected
We help establish what information genuinely needs protection, where it lives, and what should be prioritised if recovery is ever needed
Managing backup reliability
Backups are configured, monitored and maintained so protection remains dependable over time, not just present on paper.
Maintaining recovery readiness
Recovery options are defined in advance, from individual files through to wider system restoration, so recovery is predictable rather than improvised
Providing support when recovery is needed
If information ever needs to be restored, support is calm, practical and focused on getting the organisation back on track.
This creates a more dependable approach to backup and recovery, with responsibility held clearly and uncertainty reduced.
Change and improvement
CYAN SecureWorkspace™ covers ongoing operations and day-to-day responsibility.
Where larger changes are needed, such as platform changes, office moves or new systems, that work is scoped separately and delivered through clearly defined projects.
This keeps day-to-day IT steady while change is introduced in a controlled and predictable way.
A clear next step
Start a practical conversation about how IT is managed today and whether it provides the structure, accountability, and confidence the organisation now needs. No pitch. No pressure. Just a practical conversation about where things stand.
