Stay operating when the unexpected happens.
Business continuity and disaster recovery plans built around what actually keeps you in business, not thick binders nobody reads.
Continuity and recovery work is about clarity under pressure. When a cyber incident, cloud outage, supplier failure, or natural disaster disrupts your operations, the plans you wrote beforehand have to be simple enough to execute and specific enough to actually help. That is what we build with you.
Our approach
Comprehensive risk assessment
We start by identifying the realistic threats to your operations: cyberattacks (ransomware, destructive malware, cloud account compromise), system and infrastructure failure, key supplier outages, natural disasters, prolonged loss of premises or people, and the scenarios specific to your industry. This becomes the foundation for everything that follows.
Business impact analysis (BIA)
The BIA tells us what is worth protecting first. We work with department leads to identify critical business processes, their dependencies, their maximum tolerable downtime, and the real cost of disruption (financial, regulatory, reputational, and operational). The result is a prioritised view of what has to keep running, and for how long.
Business continuity strategy
For each critical function, we design a strategy for keeping it running through a disruption. That might mean alternate workflows, relocatable workforces, backup suppliers, manual workarounds, or pre-arranged third-party support. We cover people, process, and technology, because all three matter.
Disaster recovery plans
For technology, we build focused DR plans with clear recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) for your critical systems. Backup integrity, restore procedures, failover design, and cloud DR strategy are all addressed specifically, not in generalities.
- Data backup strategy and offsite / offline protection against ransomware.
- System restoration procedures with named owners and tested playbooks.
- Network recovery and alternate connectivity options.
- Identity and access recovery (often the hardest part of real DR events).
- Cloud-first and hybrid recovery patterns for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Testing and validation
A plan that has never been tested is a guess. We run tabletop walkthroughs and technical recovery tests to validate the plans, train the people, and find the gaps before a real event does. Every test produces specific improvements.
Compliance alignment
Where it matters, we align your program with the standards your industry or regulators expect:
- ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management
- ISO/IEC 27031 ICT Readiness for Business Continuity
- NIST SP 800-34 Contingency Planning Guide
- APRA CPS 232 Business Continuity Management
- Essential Eight backup maturity requirements
Ongoing support
Your business, technology, and supplier landscape changes constantly. We help keep the plans current through regular review cycles, update triggers, and periodic re-testing.
Building the human side
Continuity programs succeed when people know their role and believe the plan will hold up. We help build that confidence through clear communication, role-based training, and executive engagement, so the plan is not a surprise when it is needed.
