Overview

Built for maritime,
not adapted for it

Staunch Technologies provides Maritime Backup Solutions and Maritime Disaster Recovery Services that help shipping companies protect business-critical data, onboard IT infrastructure, bridge systems, operational technology, and vessel applications from hardware failures, accidental deletion, ransomware attacks, and cyber incidents — whether you operate a single vessel or an international fleet.

What Is It
Maritime Backup
A centralized backup solution powered by Acronis Cyber Protect, purpose-built for satellite-connected vessel environments.
Who Needs It
Every Fleet Operator
Ship owners, fleet operators, and ship managers who depend on onboard systems for safe, compliant, day-to-day operations.
Business Value

Why It Matters

Data is fleet infrastructure

Vessel computers, file servers, maintenance systems, ERP platforms, and operational applications continuously generate information that supports safe and efficient fleet management. Unexpected events such as hardware failures, accidental deletion, ransomware attacks, software corruption, and natural disasters can lead to significant operational disruption if reliable backup and recovery processes are not in place. Rather than reacting to data loss after it occurs, a structured maritime backup strategy lets organizations proactively safeguard critical information and maintain uninterrupted operations.

  • Protect critical vessel and business data
  • Reduce the impact of ransomware attacks
  • Recover systems quickly after failures
  • Improve business continuity across the fleet
  • Minimize operational downtime
  • Support cybersecurity resilience
  • Simplify disaster recovery planning
  • Strengthen compliance with backup policies
The Shift

Manual backup can't
keep pace at sea

Traditional backup methods often depend on manual processes, external hard drives, or inconsistent schedules — increasing the risk of incomplete backups and failed recovery exactly when it matters most.

Manual Backup
  • Depends on someone remembering to run it
  • External hard drives that can fail or go missing
  • Inconsistent schedules across vessels
  • No visibility into whether it actually completed
  • Slow, uncertain recovery during emergencies
Digital Backup
  • Runs automatically on a defined schedule
  • Centralized, encrypted repository across the fleet
  • Consistent policy applied to every vessel
  • Shore-based monitoring confirms every job
  • Fast, validated recovery when it counts
Business Challenges

What fleets are up against

Without a structured backup strategy, these risks compound quickly — and they rarely surface until it's too late to react.

💾
Data Loss
Critical operational records disappear with no recovery path.
🖥️
Hardware Failure
Onboard servers and PCs fail without warning at sea.
🔒
Ransomware
Attacks encrypt vessel systems and halt operations.
🌫️
Poor Backup Visibility
No shore-side confirmation that backups even ran.
🖇️
Manual Backup
Ad-hoc processes that depend on crew memory.
📋
Compliance
Retention and audit requirements go unmet.
⏱️
Recovery Challenges
Slow, untested restores extend costly downtime.
Business Benefits

Outcomes fleets can measure

A structured backup strategy turns data protection from a reactive scramble into a measurable operational advantage.

🛡️
Prevent Data Loss
Encrypted, automated backups keep critical vessel data recoverable at all times.
Reduce Downtime
Fast recovery from any point means vessel operations resume quickly.
🧠
Cyber Resilience
Isolated recovery points keep data restorable even under attack.
👁️
Fleet Visibility
One console gives shore IT status across every vessel, at a glance.
🔗
Business Continuity
Standardized recovery plans keep operations running through disruption.
Compliance
Retention policies and audit trails meet internal and external standards.

Backup Validation

Why recovery testing matters

Regular recovery testing ensures backup copies remain usable when needed. Our specialists periodically validate recovery points, verify backup integrity, and test restoration procedures to improve disaster recovery readiness and reduce operational risk.

✓ Validate Recovery Points ✓ Verify Backup Integrity ✓ Test Restoration Procedures
Backup Types Supported

The right method for every workload

Different vessel systems call for different backup strategies — our plans combine these methods to balance bandwidth, speed, and recoverability.

TYPE_01 //
Full Backup
A complete, standalone copy of a system — the baseline every recovery plan builds from.
TYPE_02 //
Incremental Backup
Captures only what changed since the last backup, minimizing bandwidth on satellite links.
TYPE_03 //
Differential Backup
Captures all changes since the last full backup, simplifying restoration to a single point.
TYPE_04 //
Image Backup
Creates complete system images for full operating system recovery following hardware failures or cyber incidents.
TYPE_05 //
Database Backup
Protects structured business data, application databases, and operational records supporting vessel operations.
TYPE_06 //
Virtual Machine Backup
Supports protection of virtualized workloads where virtualization platforms are deployed.
