CDS Pricing FAQs
Does CDS pricing include recovery support?
Yes. CDS pricing covers managed backup and recovery support, so recovery is part of the service model, not an extra penalty triggered during an incident.
Does CDS charge egress or retrieval fees?
No. CDS uses flat-rate pricing with no egress or retrieval fees, which makes recovery costs more predictable during ransomware events, outages, or restore requests.
How does CDS verify that backups are recoverable?
CDS verifies backup recoverability through restore testing, verification checks, and clean recovery validation so restored data is not corrupted, infected, or incomplete
Is CDS suitable for HIPAA-regulated environments?
Yes. CDS supports HIPAA-aligned backup with encryption, access controls, audit logs, restore logs, and BAA support for medical and dental practices handling ePHI.
Does CDS sign a Business Associate Agreement?
Yes. CDS provides Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for qualifying tiers, which helps medical and dental organizations document vendor safeguards and PHI handling responsibilities.
What support and setup assistance is included?
You receive professional setup assistance, installation, and training, plus unlimited support and daily backup reporting throughout your use.
Where is CDS backup infrastructure hosted?
CDS supports U.S.-based private cloud hosting and also offers private, hybrid, and self-hosted deployment models for organizations that need more infrastructure control.
What proof does CDS provide for audits or reviews?
CDS can support audits and reviews with backup logs, restore logs, verification reports, encryption documentation, infrastructure summaries, and BAA-related documentation.
