How long would recovery take?
If the production server failed right now, would you be back in minutes or stuck rebuilding all afternoon? We map the real restore path, not the optimistic one.
Test the restore. Don’t guess.
Backup, recovery, and security built together
Protect your data before disaster finds it.
One ransomware attack, server crash, or accidental delete can wipe out years of records. We design database backup, disaster recovery, access control, and audit logging systems that keep your data recoverable and your compliance story clean. Why gamble with the database that runs your business?

Risk awareness
Is your database a disaster waiting to happen?
Do your backups restore when you need them, or only when nobody is watching? We start by finding the weak spots that make recovery slow, unreliable, or impossible to prove.
Are backups actually tested?
A backup that has never been restored is a hope, not a safeguard. We verify every plan with repeatable recovery drills and documented results.
Proof matters when stress is high.
Can you trace every change?
Without audit logs, you’re left with questions after an incident. We make database activity visible enough to support investigations and compliance reviews.
Who changed what, and when?
Is the database exposed?
If a service is reachable from the internet without proper controls, attackers notice fast. We harden access paths so only the right people get through.
Close the open doors first.
Backup strategy
Our 3-2-1 backup methodology
Three copies. Two media types. One off-site copy. Simple enough to explain to an auditor, strong enough to survive a bad day. Need point-in-time recovery too? We build that in from the start.
3
Three copies
Production plus two backups, so one failure never becomes a full loss.
2
Two media types
Local storage for speed and cloud storage for resilience.
1
One off-site copy
Encrypted and separated, ready for true disaster recovery.
Fast recovery
Point-in-time restore support and a 15-minute RPO for critical systems.
Security controls
Lock down your database without slowing the business.
Security shouldn’t be theatre. It should be practical, documented, and easy to defend during a review. Which controls are missing today?
Access control
We apply least-privilege roles, review excessive access, and remove permissions that no one can justify.
Encryption at rest
Transparent data encryption helps protect sensitive records if storage is ever exposed or moved.
Encrypted in transit
SSL/TLS keeps traffic private between applications, tools, and the database layer.
Audit logs
We set up logs that make user activity visible, exportable, and ready for SIEM workflows.
Vulnerability scanning
Patch gaps and risky configurations get flagged before they become incident reports.
Patch management
Updates are planned, tested, and applied without turning maintenance into guesswork.
Compliance confidence
Meet HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 with fewer surprises.
Auditors want evidence, not excuses. We prepare the trail: retention rules, access review reports, and controls that stand up to real scrutiny.
HIPAA-ready audit trails
Pre-configured logging and access reporting help healthcare teams show control over sensitive records.
GDPR retention policies
We align retention and purging rules with privacy requirements so old data doesn’t linger without reason.
SOC 2 evidence packs
Access review reports and control summaries are organised for cleaner submission and faster reviews.

We passed our SOC 2 audit because the controls Doug's SQL put in place made the evidence easy to show and hard to dispute.

Backup & security FAQs
Questions clients ask before they sleep better.
Short answers first. If you want the deep technical version, we’re happy to walk through the architecture with your team.
How often should I test my backups?
At least monthly for critical systems, and after any major schema, storage, or permissions change. Why wait for an incident to discover a broken restore?
What’s the difference between full, differential, and transaction log backups?
Full backups capture everything, differentials capture changes since the last full backup, and transaction logs let you recover to a specific moment. We choose the mix around your recovery target, not a generic template.
Can you help if we’ve been hacked?
Yes. We can help isolate access, review logs, restore from clean backups, and tighten the security controls that should have been there already.
Do you provide a written security policy?
We do. Clear policy language makes staff training, access reviews, and audit preparation much easier to manage.
How do you keep our backup data secure?
Backups are encrypted, access is restricted, and off-site copies are treated as sensitive assets. If the backup itself is exposed, recovery can become a second problem.
Final step
Don’t wait for a disaster to test your backups.
Peace of mind starts with a proven plan, a clear recovery path, and security controls you can explain to an auditor without scrambling.
