RPO: 1 hour
Backups run hourly. No analysis of data content. If ransomware has been active for 30 days, every backup in that window contains compromised data. Actual clean recovery point: unknown.
R-RPO: Unknown. Could be 30+ days.
Ransomware security
Provable recovery is not a promise. It is a measurement.
Elastio detects the attack inside your systems, then proves your data is clean, your recovery points are proven, and your restore works. Continuously. With evidence. Your backup vendor confirms copies completed. That is not proof.
The measurement gap
RPO measures copy frequency. R-RPO measures recovery confidence.
A backup with a 1-hour RPO can have a 30-day R-RPO if ransomware has been staging undetected for a month. RPO answers “how often do we copy?” R-RPO answers “how far back is our last clean copy?” This gap exists in every environment: AWS snapshots, Azure replicas, on-premises Veeam backups, and hybrid architectures.
RPO: 1 hour. R-RPO: 24 minutes.
Same hourly backups. Every recovery point hunted by Elastio Hunt across six threat surfaces. Last proven-clean point identified with timestamp. Recovery proven weekly.
R-RPO: 24m. Proven clean. Restore tested.
What provable recovery includes
Six capabilities. One outcome: provable recovery.
- Hunt Engine
Continuous data integrity proof
Every recovery point is hunted by Elastio Hunt across six threat surfaces. Ransomware, encryption anomalies, filesystem integrity, malware, insider threat indicators, and persistence mechanisms. Not sampled. Every file.
- Proven Data
R-RPO per asset, per account
A measured, timestamped metric showing your last proven-clean recovery point for each asset. Not an SLA target. An observed measurement. This is the number your board, your regulator, and your insurer need.
- Provable Recovery
Automated restore proof
Weekly automated boots of your recovery points with screenshot evidence. Proves the restore process works, not just that the data exists. Replaces annual disaster recovery tests with continuous, documented proof.
- Incident readiness
Blast radius identification
When a threat is found, Elastio maps which assets are affected, which recovery points are clean, and where the clean boundary sits. Your SOC team knows exactly what to recover and what to quarantine.
- Compliance
Audit-ready evidence
Every hunt generates an auditable record: what was analyzed, when, what was found, and what the recovery posture is. Mapped to NYDFS, DORA, PCI DSS, and SEC reporting requirements.
- Cloud and on-prem
No agents, no policy changes
Agentless, read-only deployment across AWS, Azure, IBM Cloud, and on-premises. Connects to your existing backup platform, whether that is Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, AWS Backup, or native snapshots. No agents on production workloads. Deploy in minutes.
Who this is for
Provable recovery serves three teams.
CISOs
You own the recovery outcome. Provable recovery gives you the evidence to report posture to the board with precision, not estimates.
For CISOs →SOC teams
When an incident occurs, provable recovery gives you the blast radius, the clean boundary, and proven recovery points. No guesswork during response.
For SOC teams →Backup teams
Provable recovery runs on top of your existing backup environment, in cloud and on-prem. No new infrastructure. No agents. No policy changes. It validates what you already have.
For backup teams →
