Cleanroom (IRE)
Restore, Inspect, Analyze, Validate, Document
Cleanroom – Purpose & Design
Our Cleanroom is a sealed, network-isolated environment where critical workloads are rebuilt, verified and certified before they ever touch production. It enforces off-network backup separation and distance from the main site – core requirements under the EU’s NIS2 Implementing Regulation. This is where we break the kill chain: restore, inspect, analyze, validate, document. No shortcuts, no cross-contamination. It’s resilience engineered for both regulated and non-regulated operations and board oversight.
Full-Content Scanning & Integrity Checks with Cleanroom (IRE)
Every restored object is inspected using layered malware detection and policy-driven integrity checks. We pair content scanning with hash verification and provenance tracking, so “clean” means demonstrably clean. This aligns with ENISA’s guidance on backup isolation and evidence, and NIST’s recovery playbooks stressing verification before reintegration. The result: confidence that what returns to production is trustworthy – not just available.
Cleanroom – Forensics-Ready Logging & Evidence
The Cleanroom (IRE) generates uncompromisable logs for each action – who restored what, when it was scanned, which indicators were found, and how risks were resolved. Evidence packages export in regulator-friendly formats, helping teams meet documentation expectations while accelerating auditor review. Its recovery with a paper trail, mapped to the Implementing Regulation’s technical measures and ENISA’s documentation practices.
Golden Restore Points – Curated and Defensible
Not every snapshot deserves to return. We curate “golden” restore points that pass content scanning, integrity checks and policy gates. CISA’s ransomware guidance is clear: keep backups offline/isolated and test them regularly; we operationalize that advice, so selection is fast and defensible during high-pressure incidents. Clean images in, verified workloads out.
Cleanroom – Access Control & Separation of Duties
Administrative actions in the Cleanroom follow least-privilege and separation-of-duties principles, with strong authentication and time-bounded access. This mirrors NIS2’s emphasis on robust controls for backup copies and governance of who can touch them. It reduces insider risk and prevents single-operator exposure across restore, scan and release steps.
Cleanroom – Proven with BCaaS & the B4R Storage Portal
Cleanroom outcomes are visible in the B4R Storage Portal: restore status, scan results, and compliance evidence in one place. BCaaS subscribers gain a ready-to-use standby environment plus expert support to run large-scale verifications – without adding headcount or hardware. Operational clarity for IT; board-level assurance for leadership.
What is a Cleanroom (IRE)?
Cleanroom – Isolated recovery Environment
We maintain a ready-to-use “Cleanroom environment” available for you to restore, inspect, analyze, validate, document. It consist’s of network, compute, storage, scanning-engine(s) – all located in B4Restore’s certified data centers.
Scalability, Control and Domain-Level Experts
A monthly subscription-based service – you don’t have to predict your future data growth, or the opposite. Activate our Cleanroom services when you need it.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Perform periodic restore testing for inspection and validation – for single applications or large-scale bulk recovery – ensuring full operational resilience and “clean” data when you need it.
Cleanroom – Combined with Staging Area (IRE)
When a material P1 incident hits, the Staging Area acts as a “respirator” – a minimal, hardened runtime for your most critical applications and data paths.
