Your need
What business need does this address?
We plan how critical operations should resume after a server failure, data loss or loss of access to your office. Business impact analysis establishes acceptable data loss and recovery time objectives, known as RPO and RTO. We assess system dependencies, copies held separately or isolated by access controls, and alternative working arrangements. Recovery steps are documented with owners and communication procedures. An agreed exercise compares observed results with the targets and identifies gaps. Achievable recovery times depend on the infrastructure, the incident and the test findings.
Scope

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Technical details
From business priorities to recovery targets
We assess the effect of interrupted operations and the tolerance for data loss and downtime with you. RPO and RTO are recorded as measurable objectives. Database, identity, network and supplier dependencies help determine the sequence in which applications should be recovered.
Plan the path back to operation
Backup locations, access permissions and risks shared with primary systems are reviewed. We assess isolated copies and suitable alternative environments. Accounts, licences, connectivity and installation information are included in the plan, explaining how a backup becomes a functioning system through defined recovery steps.
An operating plan checked through exercises
We plan a controlled recovery exercise for an agreed application or scenario. Actions, missing information and observed timings are recorded. Differences from targets and necessary improvements are reported, with guidance on which records need updating when systems or team responsibilities change.
How we work
Understand the need. Build the solution together.
- 01
Understand the need
Share your existing devices, users, connections and systems, including the providers you currently use.
- 02
Plan the work
We agree on priorities and sequence around these areas: Business impact analysis, application dependencies and agreed RPO and RTO objectives · Separate or access-isolated copies, recovery sequence and alternative working plan · Responsibilities, communication chain, recovery documentation and a defined exercise.
- 03
Implement and review
An area we review together during implementation: Responsibilities, communication chain, recovery documentation and a defined exercise.
- 04
Hand over and explain usage
At handover, we review the agreed deliverables and usage steps together. Delivery includes business priorities and RPO/RTO targets, a system dependency map, a step-by-step recovery plan, assigned owners and a post-exercise improvement report.
In practice
How could this work in your business?
Illustrative use case
A wholesaler runs orders, inventory and dispatch on one server and wants a clear response if it becomes unavailable. In this illustrative project, dependencies are mapped, a recovery sequence using separate copies is prepared, and a selected workflow is exercised to observe the recovery time.
Handover & preparation
From the first meeting to handover.
What will you receive?
Delivery includes business priorities and RPO/RTO targets, a system dependency map, a step-by-step recovery plan, assigned owners and a post-exercise improvement report.

- Responsibilities, communication chain, recovery documentation and a defined exercise
What should you bring to the first meeting?
- Share your existing devices, users, connections and systems, including the providers you currently use.
- Identify priority work areas, access owners and suitable times for changes.
In the first meeting, we review your current setup, priorities and dependencies together. We prepare the proposal around that discussion.
