Data Protection
Data protection that keeps your business running
Secure backups, encryption and disaster recovery working together, so your data stays accessible and protected no matter what happens.
Book Your Free Security Gap CheckProtecting data is not just about stopping a breach, it is about making sure your business can keep running if something goes wrong regardless of the cause: an attack, a hardware failure, or simple human error. DJC's data protection service is built on three layers working together: secure backups, encryption, and disaster recovery planning.
Encryption protects data at rest and in transit, so even if it is intercepted, it is unreadable to anyone without authorisation. That matters most for sensitive information such as financial records or personal data, which most Australian SMBs hold more of than they realise.
Data protection integrates with our cloud security and business continuity work, and supports the evidence you need for compliance requirements. None of these should be treated as separate problems, because they rarely fail separately either.
What our data protection service covers
Secure backups
Reliable, regularly tested backups so your data can be recovered quickly, not just stored somewhere and hoped for.
Encryption at rest and in transit
Industry-standard encryption that renders data unreadable to unauthorised users, even if it is intercepted.
Disaster recovery planning
A documented, tested plan for restoring systems and data after an outage, breach or failure, integrated with business continuity.
Compliance-ready protection
Data handling practices structured to support regulatory and framework requirements relevant to your industry.
If IT is your responsibility
An owner, not an account manager
You deal with Daniel or Julian Church directly. We keep the client list deliberately short so the people who answer already know your environment.
Numbers you can defend
Every engagement starts with a costed IT roadmap: what technology should cost this year and next, in business terms you can take to a board or a budget meeting.

If you already have an IT manager or a small team, we are not here to replace them. Co-managed IT adds tooling, escalation and after-hours cover around them.
How co-managed IT worksWhy DJC
- Layered by design. Backups, encryption and disaster recovery are configured to work together, not sold as separate line items that leave gaps between them.
- Tested, not assumed. Backup and recovery plans are reviewed and tested on a regular cycle, so restoration works when you actually need it.
- Built on our own ISO 27001 discipline. DJC holds ISO 27001 certification, and the data handling standards we apply to our own business are the same ones behind this service.
- Supports your compliance position. Solid data protection is foundational evidence for frameworks covered on our compliance page, including SMB1001.
Quick answers
What does DJC's data protection service include?
DJC's data protection service combines secure, regularly tested backups, encryption of data at rest and in transit, and disaster recovery planning, so your business data stays accessible and protected against loss, breach or system failure.
Why does encryption matter if we already have backups?
Backups protect against data loss, but encryption protects against data exposure. If backup data or live data is intercepted or accessed without authorisation, encryption ensures it remains unreadable, which is critical for financial records and personal information.
How often should disaster recovery plans be tested?
DJC recommends testing disaster recovery plans at least annually, and after any significant change to your systems or infrastructure, so you know recovery will actually work under real conditions rather than just on paper.
Does data protection help meet compliance obligations?
Yes. Secure backups, encryption and documented recovery plans are core evidence for frameworks like SMB1001 and general regulatory expectations around data handling, which DJC covers in more depth on our compliance page.
