Backup & Recovery
Automated, encrypted cloud backup with guaranteed recovery times — because data loss is not an option.
According to the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey, 39% of UK businesses experienced a cyber attack in 2023. Ransomware now encrypts not just your live data but also local backups. Cloud sync solutions like OneDrive and Dropbox are not backups — they replicate deletions and corruption instantly. Without an isolated, tested backup, the average cost of a data loss incident for an SME is £8,460.
Centric Comms backup uses immutable storage — once written, backup data cannot be modified or deleted, even by ransomware. Backups are encrypted end-to-end, stored in UK-based Tier 3 data centres and tested automatically. Recovery is measured in hours, not weeks.
All products include UK-based support, static IP where applicable and a named account manager. No hidden costs.
Switching supplier always raises questions. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often.
Perceived Cost
Many SMEs assume cloud backup is expensive. In reality, a comprehensive backup solution for a 20-user business typically costs £80–150/month — far less than the average £8,460 cost of a data loss incident.
Testing & Compliance
A backup that has never been tested is not a backup. Our service includes automated recovery tests and a compliance report you can present to insurers and auditors.
GDPR Obligations
Under GDPR, you are obligated to protect personal data. Data loss can result in ICO fines of up to £17.5 million. Our UK-based, encrypted backup satisfies your GDPR data protection obligations.
