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 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:

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
