Capabilities
Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity & Resilience
Prepare critical operations to withstand disruption, recover deliberately and learn from testing.
Let’s talkWhen recovery needs to be more than a document
A backup alone does not show that the business can resume service. We connect critical activities to the people, data, systems and suppliers needed to recover them.
Restore the dependencies before the service
Test restoration in dependency order and validate the decision to resume work.
Map the dependencies
- Identity and access
- Data and backups
- Network and systems
- People and suppliers
- Restore in orderTest the runbook in an isolated exercise
- Check integrityRecords, access and application behaviour
- Confirm user acceptanceBusiness owner validates the restored task
- Authorize and communicateRecord the decision; notify affected teams
How we approach the work
Run a business impact assessment, agree recovery priorities, and design recovery procedures around dependencies. Exercise restoration and communication, record the gaps and assign owners to close them.
What you leave with
The final scope is agreed around your priorities. Typical outputs include:
- Business impact and dependency assessment
- Recovery objectives, runbooks and communications responsibilities
- Exercise results and a prioritized improvement plan
What we need to get started
Recovery objectives depend on architecture, backup integrity, people and supplier availability. They must be tested rather than treated as promises.
Practical applications
Illustrative engagement scenarios. The scope, responsibilities and measures are agreed for each organization.

Useful questions
What is the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?
Disaster recovery focuses on restoring technology and data. Business continuity also covers people, locations, suppliers, communications and the work required to sustain essential services.
What do RTO and RPO mean?
Recovery time objective is the target time to restore a service. Recovery point objective defines the targeted point in time for recovered data. Both follow business impact and must be tested against dependencies.
How often should we exercise recovery plans?
Exercise frequency follows business criticality, system changes and applicable obligations. Include restoration tests and scenarios that examine decisions, communication and supplier dependencies.
Are backups enough for disaster recovery?
A backup is useful only if it is accessible, trustworthy and restorable. Recovery planning also needs a clean environment, access to dependencies, a recovery sequence and people able to execute it.
Can cloud services support recovery?
Cloud recovery can form part of the design where data, jurisdiction, connectivity and workload requirements permit it. Architecture and exercises determine whether it meets agreed objectives.
