Availability and resilience

• Guaranteed availability: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud operates on a highly available, globally distributed cloud platform with 99.9% uptime. We recognise this SLA and reflect it in our offering. If they SLA drops below 99.9%, we would credit a proportion of the percentage to further billing.
• Approach to resilience: Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is architected to ensure continuity, withstand disruption, and maintain service delivery even during outages or cyberattacks. Its resilience comes from a combination of multi‑tenant cloud infrastructure, integrated disaster recovery, immutable backups, and automated failover capabilities.; Further information is available on request.

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Supplier-defined controls

Governance is led by an executive sponsor and an Information Security Lead who maintains the risk register and reports KPIs/KRIs. Policy adherence is enforced via technical controls (MFA, RBAC, logging), training, periodic reviews (access and patch compliance), and exception management with time-bound risk acceptance.
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: We run a risk-based vulnerability management process aligned to UK NCSC guidance: maintain an asset inventory, scan regularly, triage and prioritise findings, ensure senior ownership of exceptions, and verify remediation. We prioritise vulnerabilities with evidence of active exploitation using CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalogue, alongside CVE/NVD severity and vendor advisories. We apply an “update by default” approach and patch as soon as possible, with target timelines of 24–72 hours.
• Protective monitoring type: Supplier-defined controls
• Protective monitoring approach: We use layered protective monitoring with automated alerts and analyst triage. We monitor security‑relevant events (logins/admin actions, configuration changes, endpoint/backup alerts) and use runbooks to spot indicators of compromise such as anomalous access, repeated failures, suspicious privilege changes, or tampering patterns. When a potential compromise is detected, we validate and scope it, preserve evidence, and contain risk (e.g., disable accounts, revoke tokens/keys, isolate affected endpoints) before eradication and recovery from known‑good backups. Response targets: P1 15–60 mins, P2 ≤4 hours, P3 ≤1 business day, P4 2–5 business days.
• Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402

Users can report incidents through our support portal, email, or by phone, where each case is logged and triaged by severity. For any confirmed incident, we provide an incident report outlining impact, timeline, actions taken, and remediation steps. Post‑incident reviews ensure improvements are implemented.
