Commvault’s Cyber Recovery Maturity Model

Commvault’s Cyber Recovery Maturity Model helps organizations progress through five key stages of readiness to achieve full cyber resilience, providing the necessary tools and expertise at every step

Stage 1: Initial Readiness  

Set the foundation with basic protection measures and initial risk awareness.

Organizations recognize the need for asset and risk management but need formal processes. Cybersecurity measures are basic and often reactive, with ad hoc recovery efforts if needed.  

At a glance:

  • Primary backup and data protection solutions
  • Initial asset discovery and risk identification
  • High-level incident response procedures

How Commvault helps:

  • Performs sensitive data discovery and identifies critical assets and risks
  • Introduces basic protection measures and an initial incident response plan
  • Lays the groundwork for future readiness growth
Stage 2: Developing Readiness

Build formalized processes and integrate proactive detection methods.

Organizations begin developing formal asset and risk management processes. Cybersecurity measures are more comprehensive, though they are yet to be standardized across the organization. Detection methods are implemented systematically, but recovery efforts remain reactive.

At a glance:

  • Data mapping and infrastructure understanding
  • Integration of threat detection systems
  • Formalized cybersecurity policy development

How Commvault helps:

  • Creates a data & applications mapping strategy to better understand information flows
  • Helps formalize cybersecurity policies
  • Integrates basic threat detection systems for proactive response
Stage 3: Defined Readiness

Standardize cybersecurity measures and thoroughly document and test recovery processes.

Organizations have standardized and documented cybersecurity and asset management. Recovery plans are well-defined and regularly tested. Organizations are moving towards a proactive defense and detection model, with integrated systems functioning cohesively.

At a glance:

  • Standardization of cybersecurity measures and recovery processes
  • Continuous monitoring for anomalous activities
  • Detailed, documented, and regularly tested recovery procedures

How Commvault helps:

  • Provides support with tool integration & monitoring
  • Outlines synchronized defense and anomaly detection to identify unusual activities
  • Helps standardize recovery processes and incident response
Stage 4: Managed Readiness

Measure effectiveness with KPIs and test recovery strategies through controlled simulations.

Managed readiness means quantitatively managing cybersecurity and recovery processes. Organizations track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure effectiveness and regularly test detection and recovery systems to make sure they are effective in the face of evolving threats.

At a glance:

  • Event simulation and incident response drills
  • KPIs for cybersecurity and recovery tracking
  • Isolated recovery environments for safe recovery testing

How Commvault helps:

  • Provides event simulation and recovery testing
  • Enables incident response plan testing and data recovery in isolated controlled environments without reintroducing threats
Stage 5: Optimized Readiness

Achieve continuous improvement with predictive analytics and adaptive cybersecurity strategies.

Organizations have optimized their cyber resilience strategies and continually refined recovery, detection, and response processes. Cyber security measures are routinely tested and improved so the organization can recovery and adapt to future threats.

At a glance:

  • Predictive analytics for continuous improvement
  • Adaptive incident response strategies
  • Continuous simulation, testing, and optimization of recovery processes

How Commvault helps:

  • Implements continuous refinement through predictive analytics
  • Aligns people and processes for rapid detection, response, and recovery
  • Provides processes and technology for a clean recovery from any cyber incident
