From an untested backup to audit-ready proof
Backup Governor continuously verifies recovery, tests what matters, and records the evidence. Here’s the complete flow — without the technical guesswork.
The core flow
Four steps, running continuously
Each step answers a simple question, then passes trusted evidence to the next.
Verify
Every backup is checked and scored, from existence to a full application-consistent restore.
Test recovery
Scheduled DR drills restore real data and measure actual RTO and RPO.
Enforce 3-2-1
The chain monitor follows every copy from local storage through the off-site destination.
Prove
Every result becomes signed, immutable evidence mapped to the controls auditors request.
What it looks like
Real operational screens, not slideware
Verification status board
Every target, verification level, and pass, warning, or failure at a glance.
Successful
Warnings
Failed
3-2-1 chain monitor
Follow local, second-medium, and off-site copies with the rule continuously verified.
The evidence ledger
Every check leaves verifiable proof
The ledger is an immutable record of what ran, what happened, who reviewed it, and which control it satisfies.
Cryptographically signed
Hash-chained with Ed25519 signatures
Recorded automatically
- Backup verification result, timestamp, and verifier
- DR drill execution, duration, outcome, and recovery time
- Detected anomaly and the action taken
- 3-2-1 chain check and rule status
- Framework controls satisfied by each record
Tamper-proof
Hash-chained and signed with Ed25519, so altering or back-dating a result is detectable.
Independently verifiable
Auditors can verify the chain integrity instead of relying on screenshots or claims.
Compliance-ready
Every entry is attributed, timestamped, and mapped to ISO 27001, SOC 2, PDPA, or BNM RMiT.
Before vs after
What changes when Backup Governor is watching
Before Cyberity
- Verification is manual or based on an unchecked job status
- RTO and RPO exist only as assumptions on paper
- Restores are rarely drilled
- A broken off-site sync can go unnoticed
- Backup anomalies surface too late
- Audit prep takes weeks of screenshots and spreadsheets
With Backup Governor
- Every backup is automatically verified and scored L1–L4
- RTO and RPO are measured from real restores
- DR drills run on schedule with overdue detection
- 3-2-1 is confirmed across the complete chain
- Suspicious changes are flagged immediately
- Audit evidence is ready to export
A real example
Verifying one nightly backup
See how a routine operational check becomes defensible compliance evidence.
Cyberity verifies
The agent checks last night’s backup. At L3/L4 it restores to staging and confirms the application starts.
Your team reviews
The status board shows Healthy, Warning, or Failed so an issue is investigated before recovery is needed.
Proof is recorded
The result, timestamp, verifier, and supporting evidence are signed and written to the immutable ledger.
Compliance becomes proof
Show the auditor a history of verifications mapped to ISO 27001 A.8.13 and SOC 2 Availability.
