BCDR Planning
Hope is not a strategy. We engineer comprehensive Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans designed to keep your enterprise operational through catastrophic cyber events, ransomware outbreaks, and physical disasters.
Analyze · Plan · Test
Creating certainty in uncertain times through rigorous planning and simulated execution.
Impact & Dependency Mapping
Conducting rigorous Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify critical paths, maximum tolerable downtime, and hidden third-party dependencies.
- Recovery Time Objective (RTO) definition
- Recovery Point Objective (RPO) definition
- Critical asset & application tiering
- Supply chain dependency mapping
Architecture & Planning
Designing the technical failover mechanisms alongside the human operational procedures required to survive a catastrophic outage or ransomware event.
- Hot / Warm / Cold site strategy
- Immutable backup architecture (Air-gapped)
- Business Continuity Plan (BCP) drafting
- Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) drafting
Tabletop & Failover Testing
Proving the plans actually work through simulated disaster scenarios, ranging from paper-based tabletops to full technical failover exercises.
- Executive tabletop simulations
- Technical DR failover testing
- After-Action Report (AAR) generation
- Continuous plan updating (Lifecycle maintenance)
Old Plans Fail Modern Threats
Legacy DR plans were built to survive a datacenter power failure or a localized flood. Today, the most likely disaster is a human-operated ransomware attack designed to actively hunt and encrypt your backup servers before detonating the primary payload.
Our BCDR consulting bridges business logic with hard technical architecture. We ensure your backups are immutable, your executive communication plans are ready, and your technical teams know exactly what order to restore the tier-1 applications in when the domain controllers go down.
Minimize Downtime
Hitting strict RTOs keeps the business generating revenue.
Pass Audits
SOC 2 Type 2 requires proof of BCDR testing, not just a plan.
Supply Chain
Prove to enterprise clients you can survive a localized outage.
Reduce Panic
Clear runbooks eliminate the 'fog of war' during an incident.
Resiliency Engineering Lifecycle
From theoretical impact analysis to active, high-pressure tabletop simulations.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Interviewing department heads to determine the financial and operational impact of downtime for every major business process.
Strategy Selection
Mapping the BIA requirements against your budget to select the right recovery strategy (e.g., Active-Active cloud vs. offsite tape backup).
Plan Development
Authoring the 'Runbooks'. Step-by-step technical procedures for IT, and communication/operational procedures for management.
Awareness & Training
Training the Disaster Recovery Team and Incident Commanders on their specific roles before panic sets in during a real event.
Exercising & Auditing
Executing scheduled tests (from walkthroughs to full interruptions) to identify gaps, measure actual RTOs, and satisfy regulatory requirements.
Comprehensive Resiliency
Addressing technical, procedural, and executive requirements.
Ransomware Survival
Designing air-gapped, immutable backup architectures specifically to recover from encryption malware.
Cloud Resiliency
Architecting multi-region failover strategies within AWS, Azure, or GCP for maximum availability.
Crisis Communication
Drafting the exact messaging required for customers, staff, and regulators during a major outage.
Data Center Failover
Technical orchestration linking primary data centers to secondary sites or colocation facilities.
Downtime Costing
Financial modeling of downtime per hour to justify necessary investments in high-availability architecture.
Tabletop Exercises
Stress-testing your executive team with simulated, high-pressure tabletop disruption scenarios.
Architecting Certainty
We ensure your organization doesn't just survive on paper, but survives in production.
Beyond IT
Disaster recovery isn't just about restoring servers; it's about business continuity. We build plans that encompass HR, PR, Legal, and Operations.
Ransomware Focused
Legacy DR plans assumed hurricanes or fires. We build modern DR plans that assume active, intelligent adversaries trying to destroy your backups.
Tested Reality
An untested plan is just a hypothesis. We enforce rigorous tabletop and technical testing so you possess proven capability, not just a document.
Regulatory Alignment
We ensure your BCDR program meets the strict requirements of ISO 22301, SOC 2 Availability criteria, and financial sector mandates (e.g., DORA, RBI).
