BaaS & DRaaS: Turning Cyber Resilience into a Repeatable Practice

Bruno’s Byte: “Recovery shouldn’t rely on heroics—it should run on habit.”

October turned awareness into action with tabletops and isolated recovery drills. The next step is making that action sustainable, quarter after quarter, regardless of staff changes, software updates, or the next audit. That’s where an MSP partner for Backup‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) and Disaster‑Recovery‑as‑a‑Service (DRaaS) earns its keep.

Why a Managed Partner (BaaS/DRaaS)?

Evidence on a schedule. Quarterly clean‑room restores and AD checks become standard deliverables, not best‑effort tasks.
Immutable by default. WORM/object‑lock or air‑gapped copies are verified and reported, so your “last known good” is more than a promise.
Living runbooks. Identity, M365/Entra ID, VMware, SQL, NAS, playbooks stay current as your environment evolves.
SLOs > guesses. RPO/RTO targets with executive‑ready reporting for leadership, auditors, and insurers.
Continuity through turnover. When teams change, the recovery rhythm doesn’t.

What’s Typically Included

BaaS: Policy‑based protection for on‑prem, cloud, and SaaS; immutable/air‑gapped copies; auto‑verification.
DRaaS: Isolated Recovery Environment (clean room) drills; AD forest and app‑level runbooks; quarterly validation.
Reporting: Executive dashboards and evidence packs aligned to CMMC/NIST control language.
Operations: 24×7 support with change control, MFA/RBAC access separation, and incident collaboration.

Who Benefits Most

Agencies facing compliance demands like CMMC/CJIS attestations that require proof, not plans.
Lean teams that can’t pause projects to run quarterly drills.
Hybrid estates (on‑prem + SaaS + cloud) that need one accountable owner for recoverability.

Partnership Update

We’re formalizing this managed‑resilience motion: Assured Data Protection has launched a new U.S. Public Sector Division; led by GEN3i founder & CEO, Patrick Vaughan, focused on MSP‑delivered BaaS & DRaaS for government and education with compliance‑minded operations (CJIS, CMMC, HIPAA) and Carahsoft procurement pathways.

How to Engage

Discover (30 min): Align scope, RPO/RTO, and compliance goals.
Prove it: Run a lab clean-room restore + AD mini-drill before you commit.
Go live: Contract via Carahsoft, enforce day-one immutability, and start a 90-day drill cadence.

Bruno’s final byte

“Make resilience boring. When recovery becomes routine, audits get easier, and incidents get smaller.”
