Backups and failover keep your systems alive. Business continuity planning keeps the business alive: the people, the process, the decisions and the communications around whatever's actually broken. We build, test and maintain the business-level plan that sits above your technical DR stack.
A working failover platform still fails as a response if nobody knows the plan around it: who decides to invoke it, who tells staff and customers, and what "back to normal" actually means. Boards, insurers and auditors increasingly ask for the plan itself, not just evidence that the technology works.
Technology recovering on schedule means little if decision-makers don't know who's authorised to invoke the plan, or staff don't know where to look for instructions. The gap is almost always the plan, not the platform.
Cyber insurance renewals and audit committees increasingly ask for a documented, tested continuity plan as a condition, not a courtesy. "We have backups" is no longer an adequate answer on its own.
Which systems come back first, what gets communicated externally, and when to declare an incident over are calls for leadership, not engineers. A tested plan means those calls are made in minutes, not debated mid-crisis.
This service is deliberately separate from the appliances and cloud platforms that actually perform a technical failover. If you don't yet have that foundation in place, our Cloud Backup & DR service is the technical backbone these plans are built on: image-based backup, five-minute RPO options and instant virtualisation. A BCP without a tested technical platform underneath it is a document with nothing to execute against; a technical DR platform without a BCP around it is a system nobody knows how to invoke.
Each element below is a distinct deliverable, built with your leadership team and kept current through regular review, not written once and left to age.
A structured business continuity plan built with your leadership team: roles, decision rights, escalation paths and recovery priorities, written in plain English and kept where people can actually find it.
Facilitated scenario walkthroughs with your team, ransomware, site loss, key supplier failure, that test the plan against a realistic incident and surface the gaps before a real one does.
Recovery targets set at the business-process level, order runs, payroll, customer service, not just server-by-server, so priorities during an incident match what actually keeps the business trading.
Pre-approved messaging templates and escalation trees for staff, customers, suppliers and, where relevant, media, so communication happens quickly and consistently instead of being improvised under pressure.
We coordinate business-side testing alongside the technical failover tests run against your Cloud Backup & DR platform, so the plan and the technology are validated together, not on separate, disconnected schedules.
Plans reviewed and refreshed on a set cadence and after any material change to your business, so the document in the drawer still matches the business it's meant to protect.
Start with a discovery call. We'll talk through what continuity planning you already have, if any, and what a documented, tested plan would look like for your business.
