Overview
Recovery Point Systems is a privately held US disaster recovery and business continuity specialist founded in 1999 and headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The company is private and revenue not disclosed; LinkedIn and PitchBook data suggest a headcount between 100 and 200 employees. Recovery Point operates dedicated recovery data centres on the US East Coast and Midwest and is one of the few mid-market DR providers with an active hot site, cold site, and work area recovery footprint alongside modern DRaaS and cyber recovery services.
Within disaster recovery the firm covers business impact analysis, DRaaS for x86 and IBM Power workloads, mainframe-adjacent recovery, ransomware recovery as a service, immutable backup and air-gapped vaulting. The 2024–2025 product cycle introduced AI-powered backup validation aimed at confirming the integrity of recovery images before failover. In late 2025 Recovery Point appointed Brett Moss as President and Chief Growth Officer and Chris Rivera as Chief Operating Officer, signalling investment in growth and operational scale.
Recovery Point fits US-headquartered mid-market and upper mid-market buyers who want a dedicated DR specialist relationship rather than a hyperscale outsourcer. The firm has a strong public sector practice including federal civilian agencies and is FedRAMP-aligned. It is less suited to buyers needing global delivery, mainframe-only programmes, or international compliance frameworks where larger competitors have a clearer footprint.

Strengths
- Dedicated DR specialist with no competing primary infrastructure outsourcing motion
- Strong US federal civilian and Department of Defence customer base, FedRAMP-aligned operations
- Continued capability for hot site, cold site, and work area recovery — increasingly rare in the market
- Recent investment in ransomware recovery automation and AI backup validation
- Personal account engagement model with named recovery managers, valued by mid-market buyers
- Cleared personnel availability for US public sector programmes
Limitations
- Geographic concentration in the United States — limited international delivery for multinational buyers
- Smaller engineering and platform R&D budget than hyperscale competitors, slower adoption of some emerging features
- Private ownership means limited public financial transparency for procurement risk reviews
- Brand visibility lower than larger DR providers, often requiring buyer education with stakeholders
- Mainframe coverage exists but is narrower than Kyndryl and IBM-aligned providers
