How does DRaaS protect against ransomware?

As a trusted ransomware recovery service across the UK, our DRaaS solution uses immutable backups and AI-powered threat detection to ensure your data cannot be encrypted or deleted by attackers. Even if ransomware strikes, we can restore your systems quickly from a clean recovery point.

Is DRaaS suitable for small businesses in Scotland?

Absolutely. Our disaster recovery Scotland service is designed to scale with businesses of all sizes. Whether you are an SME or a large enterprise, we tailor the solution to your environment, budget, and recovery requirements so you only pay for what you need.
