Backup and data protection oversight built for government and education
Agencies and school districts are managing more systems with tighter budgets and fewer people, while remaining exactly the kind of under-resourced target ransomware groups favor. Bocada gives your team one system of record for backup health, so doing more with less doesn’t mean doing it with less oversight.
One view across every agency, department, or school
Backup, storage, and virtualization health across every agency, department, or school site, in one place.
Consolidate backup monitoring across every agency, department, or school site into one dashboard, regardless of which backup tools each one already runs
Connect that same dashboard to your virtualizers, storage systems, and ticketing platform, so backup monitoring sits inside one comprehensive view of your data protection operations, not off to the side of it
Normalize data across your entire backup and storage stack, cloud, on-prem, or legacy infrastructure, so backup recency and location are always known
See at a glance which agency, department, or site is at risk, instead of learning it from a constituent complaint or a public records request
In practice: an IT director sees every department and school site’s backup status side by side, instead of learning about a gap from a constituent complaint.
Prove compliance for every record, every request
Public records requests and compliance audits don’t wait for a convenient time. The evidence has to already exist.
Maintain the audit trail needed to support records retention, data protection, and regulatory requirements
Automatically generate recurring reports that support audits, public records requests, and internal oversight
Give compliance, records, and IT teams self-service access to audit-ready reporting instead of relying on manual data collection
In practice: a public records request gets answered with an existing report, not a week of pulling data by hand.
Find systems that aren’t visible to you
As departments, agencies, campuses, and programs evolve, backup coverage rarely keeps pace. Find the systems that have slipped through the cracks.
Cross-reference your asset inventory against actual backup activity to catch systems that were stood up and never added to a backup policy
Extend the same discipline to vendor-managed and third-party systems your organization is still accountable for, even when a vendor manages the infrastructure
Get a documented, audit-ready record of every resource you’ve reviewed and consciously decided not to protect, and why
In practice: a new grant-funded program server shows up in the audit, instead of surfacing for the first time during an incident.
Automate response without adding headcount
Less time spent on manual triage is what lets a lean team respond fast, without adding headcount.
Detect the kind of backup anomaly that signals ransomware already at work, automatically, without a person watching every job, since public-sector ransomware attacks show no sign of slowing down
Open, update, and close tickets automatically as issues are found and resolved, so response speed doesn’t depend on someone noticing first, or on having the staff to notice
Recover fast enough that an attack doesn’t shut down public services for days, since a stretched IT team rarely has the headcount to spare for a slow, manual recovery
In practice: a ransomware-pattern anomaly on the records backup opens a ticket the moment it’s detected, not after a service outage is reported.
Prevent storage from becoming a compliance or cost issue
Running out of capacity doesn’t just cost money you don’t have. It’s how a backup failure becomes a compliance gap.
Get alerted automatically as a system approaches capacity, so a backup job doesn’t fail simply because there was nowhere left to write
Forecast storage needs using your organization’s actual growth patterns, so capacity planning is based on real data, not a guess, and not an unplanned budget request
Track cost and consumption trends across cloud and on-prem storage in one place, so a growing footprint doesn’t become the reason a record can’t be produced when it’s requested
In practice: a district nearing storage capacity gets flagged and expanded weeks before it could have blocked a records request.
