Backup Testing You Can Actually Trust

Most organisations assume their backups work β€” until they need to restore. Backup Assure changes this equation entirely by automating the testing and validation of backup and recovery processes, providing documented, auditable proof that data is genuinely restorable. Designed for Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, Backup Assure closes the gap between 'backed up' and 'recoverable' β€” a distinction that matters enormously when disaster strikes.

Core Capabilities

Automated Recovery Testing

Continuously tests backup recoverability without manual intervention, automatically spinning up and validating restore jobs on a scheduled basis across Microsoft 365 and Azure workloads.

Compliance Reporting

Generates detailed, audit-ready reports confirming backup integrity and successful recovery tests. Supports compliance with frameworks including ISO 27001, Essential Eight, and SOC 2.

Microsoft 365 Coverage

Validates backups across Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams β€” ensuring every critical Microsoft 365 workload is confirmed recoverable, not just backed up.

Azure Workload Assurance

Extends automated recovery validation to Azure virtual machines, databases, and cloud workloads, providing end-to-end protection assurance across hybrid environments.

Alerting & Failure Notifications

Instantly alerts IT teams and MSPs when a backup or recovery test fails, enabling rapid remediation before a real disaster exposes the gap.

Multi-Tenant MSP Console

A purpose-built multi-tenant management console allows managed service providers to oversee backup assurance across their entire customer base from a single pane of glass.

Why Backup Testing Matters More Than Ever

Ransomware, accidental deletion, and application corruption are daily realities for enterprise IT teams. Yet industry research consistently shows that a significant proportion of backup restores fail when first attempted in a real recovery scenario. Backup Assure addresses this risk head-on by treating recovery validation as an ongoing, automated process rather than an annual exercise. For CISOs, IT managers, and compliance teams, this translates to documented confidence β€” and a credible response when auditors, boards, or cyber insurers ask: 'How do you know your backups work?'

The Backup Reality Gap

58% of organisations experienced a backup failure in the past year
76% of ransomware victims had backups that were targeted or corrupted
100% automated recovery testing with Backup Assure β€” zero manual effort

Built for Enterprise and MSP Scale

Backup Assure is purpose-engineered for organisations that cannot afford to discover a backup failure during an actual incident. Enterprise IT teams benefit from scheduled, policy-driven recovery tests mapped to business-critical workloads, with results fed directly into governance dashboards. For managed service providers, the multi-tenant architecture means a single platform can manage recovery assurance across hundreds of customer environments β€” reducing operational overhead while elevating the quality of service delivered. Resellers can position Backup Assure as both a standalone solution and a value-add layer on top of existing backup products such as Veeam, Acronis, and native Microsoft backup capabilities.

Key Enterprise Features

Executive & Audit Dashboards

Role-based dashboards deliver recovery assurance metrics to executives, IT operations, and auditors in a format suited to each audience.

Integration with Existing Backup Tools

Works alongside market-leading backup solutions rather than replacing them, adding an assurance and testing layer that most backup products do not natively provide.

Policy-Driven Test Scheduling

Define recovery test frequency, scope, and notification rules at a workload or business-unit level β€” aligning backup assurance with your RPO and RTO requirements.

Cyber Insurance Readiness

Provides the documented evidence of backup integrity that cyber insurers increasingly require at renewal, reducing premium risk and demonstrating proactive data protection governance.

Target Market

Backup Assure is best suited to mid-market and enterprise organisations operating Microsoft 365 and Azure environments where data protection compliance is a board-level priority. Verticals with strong product fit include financial services, healthcare, legal, government, and professional services β€” industries where regulatory obligations demand provable, auditable recovery capability. Managed service providers servicing these sectors represent a high-value channel opportunity, with Backup Assure enabling a differentiated, premium managed backup assurance service offering.
“Backup Assure gave us the ability to show our board and our cyber insurer documented proof that our Microsoft 365 data is genuinely recoverable β€” not just that we have a backup in place. That distinction has become critical for our compliance posture.”
