Prevent Disaster Caused by Poorly Implemented Backups
Almost all business knowledge today lives in the digital domain. If something goes wrong, that knowledge—along with your entire operation—can vanish. Especially without a solid backup strategy.
Cyberattacks are relentless. It’s a constant race between hackers and the experts trying to stay one step ahead. Immutec works with the Faculty of Advanced Computing Sciences at Maastricht University to develop groundbreaking backup innovations.
CTO Pieter Verleye has seen it firsthand: a business owner sitting in his office, completely locked out of their data after a hack. Yes, they had backups—but they hadn’t worked for months. “They were unusable,” Pieter says. “It was devastating to witness. The data was gone. The secrets were gone. Eventually, so was the business.”
And it’s not a rare case. Many businesses buy a backup solution but fail to monitor or implement it correctly. That’s where the real risk lies.
99.99% certainty
According to Rabobank research:
- Risk of fire: 1 in 8,000
- Risk of burglary: 1 in 250
- Risk of getting hacked: 1 in 5
Hackers don’t discriminate. They launch hundreds of thousands of phishing attacks at once. One click from one employee can be enough.
In moments like that, your backup becomes your business’s last lifeline—its digital blueprint. That’s why under NIS2 legislation, executives are personally liable if a proper backup isn’t in place.
It was exactly that realization that drove Pieter and his partner Cyrille to start Immutec. Their strategy allows them to guarantee with 99.99% certainty that your data can be restored in full.
Fully managed technology
Immutec developed a unique technology that creates an “encrypted fingerprint” inside the customer’s environment. This fingerprint continuously monitors for unauthorized changes or intrusions. Combined with physically separated immutable storage, this forms an ultra-reliable backup system.
Once stored, the backup becomes unchangeable—encrypted and protected across multiple layers within the customer’s private cloud.
“In 2025, a solid backup is a specialized field,” says Pieter. “You can’t expect your IT team or provider to have that level of expertise. Most business owners don’t even know which questions to ask.”
That’s why Immutec takes full ownership—from setup and implementation to regular monitoring—so clients don’t waste time or money trying to figure it out.
