Gain Clarity and Build a Resilient Data Protection Strategy

In today’s complex multi-cloud and SaaS landscape, understanding your data is the first crucial step towards effective data protection and business resilience. Securecom’s DataDISCOVER service provides a comprehensive approach to illuminate your data environment, ensuring you can recover with confidence when it matters most.

What is DataDISCOVER?

DataDISCOVER uses advanced tools and proven techniques to go beyond a superficial understanding of your data. We work with you to identify what data is truly critical to your business operations, pinpoint where it lives across your on-premises, public cloud, and SaaS environments, and understand how it supports your key business applications.

Our Approach: Unveiling Your Data Landscape

DataDISCOVER employs a structured methodology to provide you with a clear and actionable understanding of your data recovery readiness. Our approach typically involves:

• Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct an internal audit of your current data protection environment to identify potential gaps and risks. This involves a manual discovery process to thoroughly understand your data landscape.

• Critical Data Identification: We work with your business stakeholders to determine which data sets and applications are most critical to your ongoing operations and revenue generation.

• Location Mapping: We meticulously map where your critical data resides, whether it’s in on-premises data centres, across various public cloud platforms, or within SaaS applications. This addresses the increasing complexity of data sprawl.

• Dependency Mapping: We analyse the dependencies between your critical data and the business applications it supports, providing crucial context for recovery prioritisation.

• Recovery Requirements Analysis: We help you gain clarity on your recovery requirements by assessing and documenting your Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for critical systems. This ensures alignment with your business continuity needs.

• Compliance and Risk Evaluation: We evaluate your data handling practices against relevant regulations, such as New Zealand’s Privacy Act and upcoming amendments, to identify potential compliance risks associated with your current data management.

• Visibility Enhancement: DataDISCOVER aims to improve visibility across your diverse digital ecosystem, addressing the challenge of fragmented data protection landscapes. This enhanced visibility is crucial for effective data management and security assurance.

The Benefits of DataDISCOVER

By gaining a deep understanding of your data environment through DataDISCOVER, you can:

• Optimise Costs: Identify redundant or unprotected data, leading to more efficient storage and backup strategies, and helping to optimise costs. Understanding your RTOs and RPOs can also prevent over-investment in unnecessary backup solutions for non-critical data.

• Build a Tailored Protection Strategy: Develop a data protection strategy that is tailored to what matters most, focusing resources on safeguarding your critical data and applications effectively.

• Enhance Recovery Readiness: Understand your recovery capabilities and limitations before disaster strikes, allowing you to proactively address vulnerabilities and ensure you can meet your RTOs and RPOs.

• Reduce Business Risk: Mitigate the significant business risks associated with fragmented backup systems, including slow recovery times, security risks, and compliance issues. Understanding your data also helps address the growing threat of ransomware, which often targets backup repositories.

• Improve Compliance: Gain a clearer picture of your data residency and handling practices, making it easier to ensure regulatory compliance across your multi-cloud environment.

• Support Business Case Development: The insights gained from DataDISCOVER can provide the detailed insights into your current environment needed to build a compelling business case for unified data recovery, highlighting the risks and costs of your current fragmented systems.
