Disaster Recovery
Recovery planning that starts from what the business can tolerate and ends with a rehearsal that proves the plan works.
The business problem
What this solution addresses
Most organisations have backups. Far fewer have measured how long a full restore actually takes, or tested one under pressure. The difference is discovered at the worst possible moment.
Tested recovery capability with agreed objectives for how much data and time you can afford to lose.
Outcome-led
Scoped around the result you need, with success measures agreed before delivery starts.
Delivered in phases
Usable value within the first quarter, rather than at the end of a long programme.
Secure by design
Access control, encryption and audit built into the design rather than added afterwards.
What is included
What Disaster Recovery includes
The components of a typical engagement. Scope is agreed per client rather than fixed.
Business impact analysis
Establish recovery time and recovery point objectives per system from business tolerance.
Recovery architecture
Replication, backup tiering, standby environments and failover design matched to those objectives.
Runbooks
Step-by-step recovery procedures that someone other than the author can follow.
Recovery testing
Scheduled rehearsals with timed results and documented remediation of what fails.
Backup verification
Automated restore validation rather than reliance on job success reports.
Ransomware resilience
Immutable and isolated backup copies that survive compromise of the primary environment.
What changes
Benefits you should expect
Written as outcomes rather than as figures we cannot substantiate for your organisation.
Objectives you have proven
Recovery times are measured in rehearsal, not estimated on paper.
Recovery without heroics
Documented runbooks mean recovery does not depend on one person being reachable.
Ransomware containment
Isolated, immutable copies preserve a clean recovery point.
Evidence for stakeholders
Test results support audit, insurance and customer assurance requirements.

Questions about Disaster Recovery
Cannot find what you need? Our team responds to technical and commercial questions within one business day.
Ask a questionAt least annually for full recovery, and quarterly for critical systems or component-level restores. Testing should also follow any significant architectural change.
Only if at least one copy is immutable or isolated from the production environment. Ransomware commonly targets accessible backups first, so an isolated copy is what preserves a clean recovery point.
