Business Continuity & Recovery
Close the gap between having a backup and being able to recover. Plans with owners, access, communication, restoration steps, and testing.
Most businesses have backups. Far fewer know what those backups contain, how long a restore takes, who has the credentials, or what staff should do while systems are down. That gap is where an outage turns into a crisis.
We identify critical systems and their dependencies, define realistic recovery priorities, and close the gaps between a backup existing and the business being able to operate again. Plans cover ownership, access, communication, restoration steps, and regular testing.
Recovery planning matters most for seasonal and deadline-driven businesses. A tax practice in April, a farm at harvest, or a contractor at a draw deadline cannot afford to discover its backup gaps during the outage.
What’s included
- Critical system and dependency inventory
- Recovery time and recovery point objectives
- Backup coverage review
- Restoration runbooks
- Access and credential recovery planning
- Communication plan during outages
- Scheduled restore testing
A good fit when
- You are not sure how long a restore would take.
- Critical credentials are held by one person.
- Your busy season is also your highest-risk period.

See the industry fit →Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a backup and a recovery plan?
A backup is a copy of data. A recovery plan says who restores what, in what order, how long it takes, and how the business operates in the meantime.
How often should restores be tested?
At least annually for most systems, and before seasonal peaks for critical ones.
Can you help after an incident?
