Discovery & classification
Find out what is being protected — and what is not. Identify sensitive and personal data inside backup sets so protection and retention match its value and risk.
DATA MANAGEMENT · DATA LIFECYCLE
Know what data you have, where it lives, and how long you must keep it.
Backups, archives and cloud copies now hold more of your organisation’s data than production does. I help you manage that data deliberately — protected, compliant, cost-efficient and ready to use.
CAPABILITIES
From discovery to disposal.
Retention, legal hold & disposal
Retention policies aligned to legal, regulatory and business requirements, legal holds that are defensible, and data that is actually deleted when it should be.
Cloud & SaaS protection
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Salesforce and cloud workloads are under a shared responsibility model — the provider keeps the service running, you are responsible for your data. Close that gap.
Data residency & sovereignty
Know which country every copy sits in. Design backup and DR locations to meet residency obligations and cross-border transfer rules.
Archiving, tiering & cost
Move cold data to the right storage tier, tune deduplication and retention, and stop paying to protect data no one needs.
AI-ready data, safely
Serve analytics and AI workloads from read-only copies of protected data — no extra load on production, and no copies escaping your governance.
PLATFORMS
Independent advice across every major platform.
Deep Commvault specialisation, with the same rigour applied to Veeam, Rubrik, Veritas NetBackup, Dell PowerProtect and Cohesity — and the cloud-native protection services of AWS and Azure.
Typical outcomes
- A clear inventory of what is protected, where, and for how long
- Retention schedules mapped to regulatory requirements
- Lower storage and licensing cost
- Documented evidence for auditors and regulators
Good questions to start with
- Is all of our SaaS data backed up — by us?
- Which countries hold copies of our customer data?
- Could we delete one person’s data on request — including backups?
- What are we keeping that we should have deleted?
