Governance & Business Continuity: Resilience Beyond the Backup

Home » Solutions » Governance & Business Continuity

Ensure compliance, protect your reputation, and guarantee operational uptime with our leading data governance framework.

A backup is just a copy of data. Business Continuity is the ability to keep your doors open, your staff productive, and your clients serviced – no matter what happens. At Care Computers we provide a unified solution that combines enterprise-grade governance with always-on resilience.

We leverage the combined power of Acronis and Mimecast to ensure your business meets the rigorous standards of the UK regulatory landscape while providing a 100% uptime guarantee for your most critical communication channels.

The Three Pillars of Governance & Continuity

We offer flexible support models designed to fit your business size and internal capabilities.

Email is the legal record of your business. If you are involved in a dispute or a GDPR audit, you need to find information fast.

Perpetual Cloud Archive: Every email sent or received by your team is stored in a tamper-resistant, encrypted archive. Even if an employee deletes an email from their inbox, it remains safely discoverable in the archive.
7-Second Search SLA: Empower your legal or HR teams to find any email from the last decade in seconds, not hours.
Email Continuity: If Microsoft 365 or your mail server goes down, Mimecast’s Always-On technology takes over. Your staff can continue to send and receive emails via the Mimecast app (for a maximum of seven days), ensuring your business never misses a beat.

Standard backups can take days to restore. In a Modern Work environment, you need recovery in minutes.

Instant Failover: If a server fails at your office (or in the Cloud), we can spin it up in the Acronis Cloud immediately. Your team keeps working on a virtual version of your server while we fix the hardware.
Continuous Data Protection (CDP): We don’t just back up once a day. We can capture changes in real-time, ensuring that if a system crashes at 3:00 PM, you don’t lose the morning’s work.
Safe Recovery: Before we restore any data, Acronis automatically scans the backup for malware. This prevents re-infection, a common issue where businesses accidentally restore the very ransomware that caused the crash.

Meeting the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill requires proof of appropriate and proportionate measures.

Automated Reporting: We can provide monthly Evidence Packs for your board or insurers, proving that your backups are successful, your archives are secure, and your disaster recovery plan has been tested.
Data Sovereignty: We guarantee that all primary and secondary data resides within UK-based data centres, satisfying the strictest GDPR and local governance requirements.

The Local Partnership Advantage

We are more than a software provider, we are your Compliance Officers.

DR Testing

We don’t just hope the plan works. We run “Fire Drills” twice a year to prove your business can recover within its target timeframes.

Supply Chain Assurance

As local firms face more pressure from their larger partners to prove security, we provide the certifications (Cyber Essentials Plus) to help you win and keep contracts.

Strategy Sessions

We sit down with you to define your RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective), ensuring your IT strategy matches your business risk.
