Be ready for disruption: continuity and recovery you can execute.

We design and validate Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery so teams can restore services safely: BIA, RTO/RPO, runbooks, crisis communications and exercises—with audit-ready evidence.

BIA

Business Impact Analysis

We identify critical processes, dependencies and acceptable downtime to set priorities and realistic recovery targets.

RTO/RPO

Recovery targets & strategies

We define recovery objectives and design strategies that match your architecture, budget and operational constraints.

Runbooks

Actionable DR plans

Step-by-step procedures to restore services safely, including roles, decision gates, evidence and communications.

Exercises

Testing & improvement

Tabletop and technical exercises to validate assumptions, uncover gaps and improve your resilience posture.

Resilience scenarios we plan and test

Continuity is not generic documentation. We plan for realistic failure modes and validate response and recovery steps.

Ransomware & widespread encryption

Restore strategy, isolation, rebuild sequencing, identity recovery and evidence.

Cloud region outage

Failover readiness, DNS strategy, degraded-mode operations and recovery validation.

Identity outage (SSO/M365/Entra)

Break-glass procedures, privileged access recovery, MFA dependencies and communications.

Data corruption / accidental deletion

RPO validation, immutable backups, restore testing and integrity checks.

Supplier or SaaS disruption

Third-party alternatives, contract/SLA assumptions and contingency workflows.

Critical infrastructure failure

Network/core services outage, DR site sequencing and restore runbooks.

Methodology

From business impact to tested runbooks: a practical path to executable resilience.

Scope & criticality mapping

We map business services, owners and dependencies (people, vendors, cloud, identity, network, data) and set the continuity baseline.

BIA + risk & dependency analysis

We analyze impact, downtime tolerance, recovery requirements and single points of failure across processes and technology.

Define targets (RTO/RPO) & strategies

We define recovery objectives and choose feasible strategies (backup/restore, warm standby, multi-region, failover patterns).

Build plans & runbooks

We create BCP/DRP docs and operational runbooks: roles (RACI), escalation, communications, approvals and technical steps.

Exercise, validate & improve

We run tabletop and/or technical drills, capture evidence, measure outcomes and deliver a prioritized improvement backlog.

Deliverables built for execution and audits

We produce documentation that teams can run during a crisis—and evidence that governance and auditors can verify.

BIA report

Critical processes, dependencies, impact tiers, and recovery requirements.

BCP & DRP documentation

Business continuity plan + disaster recovery plan with roles, procedures and escalation.

RTO/RPO matrix

Service-level recovery targets mapped to systems, data and business processes.

DR runbooks

Detailed restore procedures (by service) with checkpoints, approvals and rollback guidance.

Exercise pack

Tabletop scenarios, scripts, injects, evaluation criteria and lessons learned template.

Audit-ready evidence set

Traceability, approvals, test results and remediation backlog for governance and audits.

Recommended KPIs

Metrics that show resilience maturity and improvement over time—not just “documentation exists”.

RTO achievement rate

Services restored within target time during exercises and real events.

RPO compliance

Data loss within agreed tolerance based on backup/replication validation.

Runbook readiness

Runbooks validated, owners assigned and changes controlled (versioned evidence).

Exercise cadence

Tabletop/technical drills performed and improvement backlog closed over time.

If you need rapid containment and recovery during an attack, combine this with Incident Response (IR/DFIR) 24/7 .

Frequently asked questions

Is this only documentation, or do you also test it?

We do both. We design BCP/DRP and runbooks, and we validate them through tabletop and (when possible) technical exercises to produce evidence and measurable outcomes.

Do you define RTO/RPO for each service?

Yes. We define recovery targets based on business impact and dependencies, then design practical strategies to meet them within real constraints.

Does this help with DORA / NIS2 / ISO standards?

Yes. We produce traceability, approvals, test results and improvement plans that support resilience and governance requirements, including DORA and ISO 22301, and integrate well with ISO 27001 controls.

What do you need from us to start?

Service inventory (even if incomplete), owners, critical suppliers, current backup/DR setup and a short scoping workshop to align on priorities and constraints.

Turn plans into real recovery capability

We’ll define impact and targets, build runbooks, and validate them through exercises—so your organization can recover safely and faster.
