Backup is more than copies
Document what is backed up, frequency, retention, covered systems, responsibilities and recovery methods.
Continuity
NIS2 business continuity and backup checklist for ICT suppliers
Backup and business continuity are frequent topics in client cyber questionnaires. A clear checklist helps demonstrate operational maturity without claiming certification.
RPO, RTO and priority services
Clients may ask about recovery objectives, expected timelines, critical services and supplier dependencies.
Testing and evidence
A credible checklist shows if recovery tests are performed, how often, and where evidence is kept.
ReadyKit output
The ReadyKit structures backup and continuity information for review and client questionnaire reuse.
Note: this material supports documentation readiness. It is not certification, an official audit or legal advice.
