Your insurer wants the timestamps. Forttic generates them from data your stack already produces.
When a cyber claim is denied, it's denied for what your controls were doing at incident time — not application time. Forttic discovers every backup asset and every cloud service configuration natively, then continuously enforces and timestamps the controls underwriters and forensic auditors compare against. Across every backup vendor and cloud.
- Snapshot inventory, retention & replication state (every backup vendor)
- Encryption & immutability across vaults and storage
- Vault permissions, access logs, credential isolation state
- Compute, database, storage, network, IAM config — discovered natively
- What runs where — workloads, dependencies, recovery topology
- What's protected vs. what should be — coverage gaps surfaced automatically
- Restore-test outcomes — timestamped, per workload
- Are we insurance-renewal ready — and on what controls are we exposed?
- Which workloads can't actually recover today?
- Which production services are unprotected and shouldn't be?
- Was an immutability lock tampered with — and by whom?
- Are backup credentials isolated from production admin?
- When was each critical workload last clean-room restored?
- Can we rebuild the workload — not just restore the data?
- Which CISO posture questions can be answered without a war room?
- Denial-defense evidence — timestamped proof each control was live on the incident date, not just at application time
- Silent-failure detection — the named drift pattern ("backup jobs failing silently") surfaced and remediated within guardrails
- Higher resilience — drift remediated, recoveries proven, immutability protected
- Cloud-ops recovery, not just data recovery — workloads come back, not just files
- Lower cost — sprawl bounded, retention right-sized
- Audit-prep eliminated — continuous, regulator-mapped evidence on demand
- CISO questions answered directly — from live state, with the audit trail attached
- Ransomware leverage removed — verified clean recovery, real-time tamper detection
Backup configuration is not enforcement. Policy attestation isn't proof.
Ransomware now targets backups first
The safety net became the leverage. Backups are the primary objective, not the recovery plan.
Regulators and insurers want continuous proof
DORA, NIS2, SOC 2 — all demand operating effectiveness over time. Cyber insurers audit forensically. 25-40%+ of claims are now denied for control drift.
No single tool governs across vendors
Backup vendors execute jobs. Posture tools observe. Neither acts cross-vendor. Continuous enforcement is the layer nobody else builds.
"Policy configured" used to be enough. Not anymore.
Ransomware operators, insurers, and regulators all caught up at the same time.
Ransomware now goes for backups first.
Backups went from the recovery plan to the primary objective. 96% of attacks target backups; 76% succeed. When they do, the median ransom doubles to $2.3M and victims pay 98%. The safety net became the leverage.
Cyber claims get denied for what's missing on the day.
Modern denials aren't about exclusions. They're about the gap between what you attested at application and what was running at incident. 25-40%+ of cyber claims are now rejected for that drift. "Backup jobs failing silently" is the named pattern. International Control Services v. Travelers set the precedent.
Periodic evidence stopped counting.
DORA Article 11 in force since January 17, 2025 — names backup as a governance issue. NIS2 transposed across the EU. SOC 2 Type II demands operating effectiveness over time. Common thread: continuous evidence is the new bar.
The old way of pretending your backup estate is fine.
Silent backup failures
Unverified recovery
Doubled ransom demands
Quarterly audit prep
Orphaned snapshot spend
Control drift between application and incident
Shadow backups
Misrepresentation denials

Keep your backup vendors. Forttic pays itself out of what you can't see.
Enforcement layer, not replacement. Paid back by orphaned snapshots, audit-prep that doesn't happen, ransom that doesn't double, claims that don't get denied.
Most AWS estates 5+ years old accrue 20-40% in orphaned EBS snapshot spend. Forttic finds the dollar figure in ~48 hours — verifiable against your Cost Explorer.
Forttic doesn't replace any tool you own. It enforces what they do.
Every adjacent layer does its job. None enforces cross-vendor, cross-cloud. That's Forttic.
