- Immutable backups. Protected copies resist encryption and accidental deletion.
- Documented recovery objectives. Know what returns first and how long it should take.
- Quarterly restore testing. Evidence that recovery works before an emergency.
- Coverage for legal systems. Documents, email, Microsoft 365, and practice applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Backup & Recovery FAQs
Clear guidance on backup testing, ransomware resilience, and recovery expectations.
How often should a law firm test its backups?
Backups should be monitored continuously and restore tests run on a regular schedule. Counsel Cyber’s recovery program includes quarterly restore testing to confirm critical files and systems can be recovered.
Are cloud backups enough to protect a law firm from ransomware?
Not by themselves. A sound plan uses isolated or immutable backup copies, protected backup credentials, monitoring, and tested restores so an attacker cannot simply encrypt or delete every copy.
How quickly can a law firm recover after ransomware?
Recovery time depends on which systems were affected, available clean backups, and the firm’s recovery objectives. Set priorities in advance and validate estimated recovery times with restore tests rather than assuming a fixed timeline.
