Regular backups

Essential Eight mitigation strategy for performing, synchronising, protecting and test-restoring backups, with access and deletion rights narrowing at each maturity level until backups are immutable during retention.

Regular backups maturity level 1

Regular backups at Maturity Level One: backups of data, applications and settings by business criticality, synchronised to a common point in time, retained securely, protected from unprivileged users and test-restored in disaster recovery exercises.

Regular backups maturity level 2

Regular backups at Maturity Level Two: privileged accounts other than backup administrators can neither access other users' backups nor modify or delete backups.

Regular backups maturity level 3

Regular backups at Maturity Level Three: no user can access even their own backups except backup administrators, and backup administrators themselves cannot modify or delete backups during the retention period.
