Backup Scope Defensibility — The Scope Funnel

An expert-level course that proves, to a regulator and an insurer, that everything an organisation must be able to recover is in backup scope, actually captured, actually restorable, retained and immutable as required, and evidenced. Work the scope funnel - eight narrowing stages a claim of 'we are backed up' must pass: Duty, Discovery, Tiering, Coverage, Restore Proof, Retention, Third-Party and Attestation - as the backup assurance lead of a hospital group and insurer that lost 31 of 214 'backed up' systems to ransomware, building a regulator-ready Scope Evidence File one component per chapter with real obligation mapping, inventory reconciliation, tier and RPO/RTO schedules, coverage queries, timed restore tests, object-lock and key-custody checks, SaaS and cloud copy verification, metrics and attestation. Four hands-on activities in every lesson.

What you'll learn

• Decompose regulatory and contractual backup obligations into a versioned, owned Scope Register across seven classes of recoverable unit.
• Reconcile CMDB, platform and backup inventories to find orphaned, unmanaged, filtered-out and foundation gaps.
• Derive tiers from the BIA and translate RPO, RTO and 3-2-1-1-0 into per-tier policies and a documented Out-of-Scope Register.
• Measure coverage per dataset, detect silent failure classes, and alert on scope drift with a reproducible daily query.
