Can resilience be measured objectively? Databarracks launches new Recovery Confidence Score

Databarracks has launched the Recovery Confidence Score, a new way for UK organisations to objectively measure, track and improve their ability to recover from disruption.

Developed from more than 20 years’ experience delivering data protection and resilience services, the Recovery Confidence Score addresses a common challenge Databarracks sees across organisations – confidence in recovery is often assumed, but rarely proven. Organisations lack a clear, objective way to measure their ability to recover before a cyber or IT disaster strikes.

The Recovery Confidence Score captures best practice in data protection and resilience and expresses it as a single score out of 100. Operations, security, segregation, testing and validation are combined into one overall view of recovery readiness; supported by clear, practical recommendations for improvement.

Designed for ongoing use rather than a one-off assessment, the Recovery Confidence Score helps organisations benchmark readiness, track improvement over time and engage both technical teams and senior leaders around a shared, evidence-based view of resilience. By translating complex resilience practices into a single, understandable metric, it fills a long-standing gap in how organisations assess and manage their ability to recover.

Early users of the Recovery Confidence Score have already seen practical benefits.

“The Recovery Confidence Score has been particularly useful for identifying business risk and helped to support budget discussions at board level.

Adam Gomes, Director – Global Infrastructure Manager and CISO, Javelin Global Commodities

“The introduction of the Recovery Confidence Score helped us clearly identify gaps in our backup and recovery strategy and assess how effective it was.”

Koz Georgiou, Product Group Manager, Houses of Parliament Restoration and Renewal Programme

There are three key outcomes of robust data protection – faster recovery, more complete recovery and lower cost. The Recovery Confidence Score shows whether organisations can meet these outcomes when it matters. When organisations recover faster and completely, they reduce downtime, data loss and the real cost of an incident.

James Watts, Managing Director at Databarracks, said:

“To be confident – to really know that you can recover – you need evidence, not assumptions. You need to know that your backups are completing, that your data protection works and has kept pace with change across your environment, and that recovery has been tested and proven. Recovery Confidence is about knowing, not hoping, that you can recover.”

Early results show the Recovery Confidence Score is already helping organisations improve their recovery readiness and build resilience, with the average score rising by almost 10%, from 63 to 70.2 out of 100.
