FV-Execute: Verified Recovery Operations

Recovery is only valuable if you can trust the data you are restoring. Execute automates recovery from air-gapped copies with cryptographic integrity verification, ensuring every restored system returns to a known-good state.

Control Module

Recovery without integrity verification is guesswork. Execute ensures that every restored asset is cryptographically verified against its known-good state before it enters production.

The Problem

Backups you cannot trust are not backups at all.

Compromised Recovery Assets

Network-connected backups are encrypted by ransomware, corrupted by insiders, or silently tampered with during extended dwell times. When you need them, they are unusable.

Unknown Integrity

Without cryptographic verification, you cannot confirm that restored data matches the original. Backdoors, tampered configurations, or corrupted records may survive the recovery process.

Manual Recovery Failures

Complex manual recovery procedures introduce human error under extreme pressure. Steps are missed, systems are restored in the wrong order, and the recovery takes days instead of hours.

The Scenario

Scenario: Verified Recovery After Ransomware

Following a ransomware incident that encrypted 340 systems across four sites, the recovery team activates Execute. The module retrieves air-gapped copies from the Vault, cryptographically verifies each system image against its pre-incident hash, and orchestrates restoration in the correct dependency order. Database servers are restored first, followed by application servers, then user-facing systems. Each restored system is verified before the next phase begins. By hour 8, all critical systems are operational with confirmed integrity. The alternative, manual recovery from network-connected backups, would have taken 5 days and provided no integrity assurance.

"We restored 340 systems in 8 hours with cryptographic verification of every single one. Without Execute, our last recovery test took 5 days and we still were not sure the data was clean."

Module Overview

Recovery you can trust, at the speed you need.

FV-Execute transforms disaster recovery from a manual, error-prone process into an automated, verified operation. Air-gapped copies are cryptographically verified, systems are restored in the correct order, and every step produces tamper-proof evidence.

  • Cryptographic verification of every restored asset
  • Air-gapped recovery copies beyond network reach
  • Automated dependency-ordered restoration
  • Isolated staging environment before production reconnection
  • Multi-party authorisation at each recovery phase
  • Complete audit trail for regulatory compliance
Execute

Execute, How It Works

Step 1 of 4

Execute orchestrates automated recovery from air-gapped copies. Each recovery asset is cryptographically verified against its known-good hash before restoration. Systems are restored in the correct dependency order with automated validation at each stage.

Key Capabilities

Cryptographic Integrity Verification

Every recovery asset is verified against its pre-incident cryptographic hash before restoration. Tampered or corrupted assets are flagged and excluded.

Dependency-Ordered Restoration

Systems are restored in the correct order based on dependency mapping. Databases before applications, infrastructure before services.

Automated Orchestration

Recovery proceeds automatically through defined stages with validation gates at each transition, reducing recovery time from days to hours.

Isolated Recovery Environment

Systems are restored in a physically isolated staging environment and verified before reconnection to production infrastructure.

Multi-Party Recovery Authorisation

Each recovery phase requires authorisation from designated parties, ensuring oversight and preventing unauthorised restoration of potentially compromised assets.

Complete Recovery Audit Trail

Every restoration action, integrity check result, and authorisation event is logged on tamper-proof storage for post-incident review and regulatory compliance.

How to Get Started

Step 1

Recovery Asset Inventory

Catalogue all systems and data that require recovery capability, map dependencies, and define recovery time objectives for each.

Step 2

Recovery Plan Design

Define the restoration order, integrity verification procedures, multi-party authorisation requirements, and staging environment specifications.

Step 3

Recovery Drill

Conduct a full recovery drill to an isolated staging environment, measuring restoration times and verifying integrity of all air-gapped copies.

Step 4

Production Readiness

Finalise recovery procedures with automated orchestration, SIEM integration for incident-triggered recovery, and quarterly drill scheduling.
