THE REQUIREMENT
Plan beyond the backup.
A backup alone is not a continuity plan. Applications depend on data, connectivity, access and people. We assess these dependencies together, then agree which systems to restore first and how the recovery process will be tested.
Discuss your continuity requirementsONE COORDINATED SCOPE
Protection. Recovery. Ongoing care.
Protect recoverable copies
Plan backup scope, retention, copy locations and access controls for servers, databases, files and email. Verify that selected copies can be restored.
Related service detailsPlan the return to operation
Document recovery order, system dependencies, responsible people and alternative arrangements. Agree recovery-time and data-loss objectives before choosing the architecture.
Related service detailsMonitor, test and maintain
Review backup jobs and alerts, schedule recovery exercises and update operational guidance as systems change. Support coverage and escalation are agreed for each environment.
Related service detailsPLANNING SCENARIOS
Prepare the next step before it is needed.
A server becomes unavailable
Identify the affected applications and dependencies, then follow the agreed recovery sequence and validate access before returning systems to users.
Files are deleted or corrupted
Identify the required recovery point, restore to a controlled location and validate the information before replacing operational data.
A security incident disrupts work
Coordinate containment and assessment with the responsible teams. Validate the recovery environment and selected backups before resuming affected services.
From priorities to a tested plan.

Assess priorities
Map essential workflows, applications, data and dependencies with the business owners.
02
Agree the design

03
Implement and exercise

04
Review as systems evolve
Handover operating guidance and agree periodic reviews, testing and support arrangements.
A documented handover
Final deliverables are agreed for your environment before implementation.
- Critical-system and dependency register
- Backup and retention policy
- Recovery procedures and escalation contacts
- Test findings and improvement actions
Before we begin.
No system design eliminates every risk. We agree recovery objectives and the measures needed to support them, then test and document the selected scenarios. Any contractual commitments are defined separately in the agreed scope.
We assess coverage, retention, access controls and restore results first. The plan can retain suitable tools and address gaps through configuration or integration rather than replacement.
We work with business owners to understand operational impact, acceptable interruption and acceptable data loss. These requirements guide recovery order, architecture and testing.
