Case Study: Build Group, Inc. achieves ransomware recovery readiness and major cost savings with Druva

Build Group Chooses Druva For Ransomware Recovery Features and Advances Data Protection

Build Group, a San Francisco–based general contractor with 500+ employees working on residential and commercial projects across California, faced a risky and costly backup setup: on-premises hardware in a storage closet, manual maintenance, and no offsite copies for mission‑critical CAD files, Microsoft files, and SQL databases subject to long retention policies. The lack of offsite protection and difficulty safeguarding Salesforce data created a major ransomware and business‑continuity concern.

Build Group moved to Druva’s cloud-native Data Resiliency Cloud to protect end-user devices, files, SQL workloads and Salesforce, add one‑click failover of VMs into AWS, and deploy Accelerated Ransomware Recovery. The switch eliminated on‑site servers, improved recoverability (100% of Salesforce data protected and recoverable 24x7), reduced cyber‑liability insurance costs by 20%, and saved about $10K for every Salesforce restore compared to native restore policies, while freeing IT from heavy maintenance.
