Backup
Backup is rarely top of mind until your data is lost, access is denied, or recovery is needed under pressure. Yet it’s one of the most important decisions organisations make about operational resilience.
Cloud platforms don’t protect your data by default
As organisations rely more heavily on cloud platforms and SaaS applications, traditional assumptions about data protection no longer hold. Many assume cloud providers fully protect their data. In reality, most cloud vendors focus on platform availability—the responsibility for protecting data within that platform typically sits with you. Native retention options are limited and time-bound. Recycle bins expire. Default backups are brief. That assumption gap creates risk that many organisations don’t fully understand until an incident reveals it.
Backup decisions aren’t single choices. They’re a set of interconnected decisions that define how well your organisation can actually recover. Platform responsibility versus data responsibility. Retention versus recoverability. Self-managed infrastructure versus managed services. Getting these right requires clarity about what “protected” actually means. Good backup means clear ownership of who protects what, coverage across critical platforms and applications, recovery that’s granular and tested, retention aligned to your regulatory and business needs, and protection against both internal threats and external attacks. Many organisations struggle because they’re doing some of these things well and missing others entirely.
SCC helps you move from assumption to confidence. We assess your current protection across cloud, SaaS and on-premises environments. We identify gaps where recovery would fail. We design backup approaches—whether managed services, backup platforms you operate, or integrated resilience solutions—that actually work when you need them. More importantly, we ensure protection evolves as your organisation changes.
Services
We deliver backup services in three ways: fully managed backup services where SCC operates infrastructure for you, backup platforms and software you deploy operationally, and integrated data protection solutions that combine backup with cyber resilience and compliance capabilities. The right choice depends on your architecture, risk tolerance and operational capacity.
Not sure which backup service is right for you?
Still not sure? We’ll assess your current backup coverage, identify where recovery would fail, and recommend approaches that match your budget and operational capacity.
Trusted partners
We work with leading backup vendors and platforms including Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Zerto, Dell and Veritas. We select partners based on capability fit and integration with your existing infrastructure rather than exclusive vendor relationships.
Make backup a business capability, not a technical concern
When data protection decisions are made clearly and tested regularly, backup stops being a cost centre and becomes a resilience foundation. Our backup specialists are ready to assess your current protection, identify gaps and recommend solutions aligned to your business risks.
