How to Review Cybersecurity Before Moving Business Backups to a New Provider

11/10/2026

Moving backups changes data custody, encryption keys, administrative access, storage region, retention, and restore procedures. A completed copy does not prove that data can be recovered securely.

What to check

Review provider controls, encryption and key ownership, transfer protection, access roles, immutability, retention, deletion, audit logs, and restore testing. Identify data classes and contractual requirements.

Recommended next step

Pilot a backup and restore with representative data, limit migration permissions, and verify deletion of temporary copies. Update the recovery plan and review the vendor relationship regularly.
