How do backups work, and what do RPO and RTO mean?

Under the shared responsibility model, you own your data and backup strategy. We help define recovery point objectives (RPO), recovery time objectives (RTO), retention policies, and recommend third-party backups when native tools are not sufficient.

Cloud Questions We Hear Most

Cloud Services FAQs for Fresno SMBs

Clear answers on security, access, migration, and cost; so you can decide with confidence.

Is data secure in the cloud?

Yes—when it’s configured correctly.

For Fresno and Central Valley businesses, we secure cloud environments using MFA, Conditional Access, device encryption, and least-privilege permissions. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and administrative access is logged and monitored. We document settings so your team understands what’s in place.

Can my team access files and apps from anywhere?

Yes. We design cloud access so staff can work securely from approved locations and devices. Access rules, MFA requirements, and device controls are tuned to your workflows—not left wide open by default.

Will migration disrupt our work?

Migrations are planned in phases to minimize disruption. We schedule changes outside peak hours when possible, define rollback points, and test access before cutover. Most Fresno-area teams experience little to no downtime during cloud transitions.

How do backups work, and what do RPO/RTO mean?

Under the shared responsibility model, you own your data. We help define backup coverage, retention, and recovery goals:

✔️ RPO (Recovery Point Objective): how much data you can afford to lose
✔️ RTO (Recovery Time Objective): how fast systems need to be restored

We document gaps and recommend third-party backups when native tools aren’t enough.

What happens if the internet goes down?

We plan for connectivity issues by reviewing ISP redundancy, failover options, and offline access needs. For some roles, we design limited offline workflows so work can continue until connectivity is restored.

Do you help with HIPAA?

We support healthcare and regulated teams across Fresno and the Central Valley by advising on security controls, access management, and documentation. We don’t certify HIPAA compliance, but we help prepare your environment and coordinate with your auditor or compliance advisor.

Which platforms do you support, and how is cost handled?

We primarily support Microsoft 365, Azure, and common cloud integrations, but we’re vendor-neutral. Costs are reviewed upfront, licenses remain in your name, and changes are documented so there are no surprises as usage grows.

Still have a question?

A short cloud review often answers it faster than email.
