The Acronis Advantage

Why Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud?

Unlike traditional backup tools that bolt on security as an afterthought, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud integrates backup, disaster recovery, and cyber protection in a single platform — managed and monitored by Contrac's UK-based team.

Unified Data Protection

One platform protects Microsoft 365, physical servers, virtual machines, and cloud workloads — no need to manage multiple backup vendors or disjointed recovery procedures.

Immutable Storage

Backup data is locked in a write-once, read-many state. Even if ransomware compromises your primary systems, your backups remain untouched and fully restorable.

AI-Driven Threat Detection

Built-in AI scans backup data for malware before restoration — preventing you from accidentally reintroducing threats during recovery. Suspicious activity triggers alerts before damage spreads.

Instant Recovery

Restore individual files, entire servers, or complete Microsoft 365 environments in minutes — not hours or days. Granular recovery means you restore only what you need, when you need it.

Automated Verification

Daily automated backup verification runs test restores so you know your backups are usable before an incident — eliminating the risk of silent backup failures discovered too late.

UK Data Sovereignty

All backup data is stored in UK-based, ISO 27001 accredited data centres — fully compliant with UK data residency and regulatory requirements including GDPR.

What We Protect

Comprehensive Coverage Across Your Entire Environment

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud secures every workload in your organisation — from cloud productivity suites to on-premises servers.

Microsoft 365

Physical Servers

Bare-metal backup with image-based recovery for Windows and Linux servers running critical line-of-business applications.

Immutable Storage

Every backup is stored in a write-once state — ransomware cannot alter or delete your data.

Ransomware Resilience

When Ransomware Strikes, Your Backup Is Your Only Real Safety Net

Modern ransomware doesn't just encrypt your live data — it actively hunts for and destroys backup files. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud's immutable storage and AI-driven malware scanning create a defence layer that ransomware cannot penetrate.

Immutable backups cannot be encrypted, altered or deleted — even by administrative accounts.
AI-driven scanning checks backup data for malware signatures before restoration, preventing re-infection.
Behavioural detection identifies unusual file access patterns and raises alerts before encryption completes.
