WHAT’S IN YOUR PLAN.

Risk & Impact Assessment

We identify the threats that matter to your business – from cyber attack and hardware failure to fire, flood and loss of your office – and the impact each would have.

Recovery Priorities & Targets

We work out which systems matter most and agree how quickly each must be back (RTO) and how much data you could afford to lose (RPO).

Step-by-Step Procedures

Clear runbooks for restoring data and systems, replacing hardware and getting people working again – so recovery doesn’t depend on one person’s memory.

Roles & Communication

Who does what, who to call and how you keep staff, customers and suppliers informed during an incident, with contact details kept in one place.

Testing & Review

We walk through the plan with your team and test recovery regularly, then update it as your business, systems and people change.

Built on Reliable Backups

A plan is only as good as the backups behind it. We make sure yours are automated, monitored, stored offsite and proven to restore.

COMMON QUESTIONS.

Backup makes sure a safe copy of your data exists. Disaster recovery is the plan for getting your whole business running again after a major incident – which systems come back first, who does what and how you keep people informed. You need both: our backup & recovery service covers the first, and a disaster recovery plan covers the second.

Yes – arguably more than large ones, as smaller businesses have less spare capacity to absorb a long outage. The plan is scaled to your business: for most clients it’s a practical, concise document rather than a weighty manual.

We recommend reviewing and testing the plan at least once a year, and whenever something significant changes – such as a new system, an office move or key staff leaving.

Insurers and larger clients increasingly ask whether you have a documented, tested recovery plan. Having one in place makes those questionnaires much easier to answer with confidence.
