Information Security & GRC Expert at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group)
As a Council Member at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), the world’s leading expert network, I provide organizations, investment firms, and consulting companies with expert discussions on demand – wherever specialized knowledge in information security, IT governance, and regulatory compliance is needed.
My assessments are based on many years of practical experience in highly regulated industries: from building and implementing information security management systems (ISMS according to ISO 27001), IT risk and vulnerability management, and business continuity (ISO 22301) to the practical implementation of European regulations such as DORA, NIS2, BAIT, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The cooperation is project- and discussion-based. I provide decision-makers with a practical perspective gained from real-world experience on cyber risks, security governance, and operational resilience – exactly when it is needed.

About the technology
Data protection
Backup is the controlled process of copying data, applications and system configurations so they can be restored after deletion, hardware failure, malware, human error or a wider outage. Modern backup work covers operational recovery as well as disaster recovery, business continuity and long-term retention. The right design protects usable recovery points without disrupting production systems.
Platforms and tooling
Professionals work across physical servers, virtual machines, databases, endpoints, cloud services and SaaS applications. Common ecosystems include Veeam, Commvault, Rubrik, Acronis, Veritas and native cloud backup services. Strong delivery also involves storage targets, encryption, identity controls, immutable repositories, monitoring, retention policies and documented recovery procedures.
Typical use cases
Backup specialists support projects such as:
- Migrating backup workloads from local infrastructure to cloud or hybrid storage
- Protecting Microsoft 365, databases, virtual machines and file services
- Creating immutable copies to limit ransomware impact
- Automating backup checks, alerts and retention rules
- Running recovery tests for critical applications
When expertise matters
Companies bring in freelance specialists when existing backups are unreliable, a platform migration is approaching or recovery objectives have changed. They can assess the current design, identify gaps, define recovery point and recovery time requirements, and produce an implementation plan. Hamburg companies often need professionals who can work remotely across distributed infrastructure while joining on-site workshops when operations demand it.
Recovery discipline
Reliable backup is proven through restoration, not through successful copy jobs alone. Experienced professionals validate application consistency, permissions, encryption keys, dependencies and recovery documentation. They also establish clear ownership, escalation paths and test routines so teams can respond calmly during incidents.
Choosing a specialist
Look for evidence of hands-on work with the systems your company actually runs, including storage, virtualization, cloud services and identity management. Ask how the professional measures restore readiness, handles ransomware scenarios and documents changes. German and English communication may both matter for Hamburg-based teams, especially when infrastructure and support groups span several locations.
Frequently asked questions
Need clarity? These are the questions we hear most often about Backup.
Backup creates recoverable copies of data, applications and configurations. Companies use it to restore files after accidental deletion, recover services after infrastructure failure, and support disaster recovery after serious incidents.
Data backup focuses on preserving copies that can be restored. Disaster recovery covers the broader plan for bringing systems, dependencies, people and processes back into operation, often using backup as one part of that plan.
A strong Backup specialist usually understands storage, virtualization, cloud infrastructure, networking, identity management and database consistency. Experience with ransomware protection, encryption, monitoring and recovery testing is also valuable.
The right level depends on the environment and the consequences of downtime. A smaller file protection setup may need focused platform expertise, while a regulated or highly distributed environment calls for someone who can design policies, coordinate stakeholders and lead recovery tests.
Backup and recovery work is often suitable for remote collaboration because assessment, configuration and documentation can be performed securely online. On-site sessions may still help with physical storage, network constraints, workshops or recovery exercises at a Hamburg location.
Do not judge quality by completed copy jobs alone. Ask for evidence of successful restore tests, clear retention rules, protected credentials, immutable storage where appropriate, application-aware recovery and documentation that another team member can follow.
Veeam can suit organizations that need strong protection for virtual, physical and cloud workloads, while Commvault, Rubrik, Acronis or native cloud services may fit different operating models. The choice should follow workload coverage, recovery requirements, existing skills, security controls and the desired management model.
A Backup professional should clarify protected workloads, recovery priorities, retention requirements, access boundaries, compliance expectations and available storage. They should also agree how restore tests, incident support, change management and handover documentation will work.
