Business continuity and disaster recovery
Backup, replication and recovery designed against stated objectives — and tested, rather than assumed to work.
Backup coverage and recoverability are different things. Most organisations can demonstrate the first and have never exercised the second. This work starts from what the business needs back and how quickly, then works backwards to a design that can actually deliver it.
What this covers
Recovery objectives
Establishing RPO and RTO per workload with the business rather than assuming a single number covers everything.
Backup architecture
Coverage across on-premises, Azure and Microsoft 365 workloads, retention alignment, and immutability where it matters.
Replication and failover
Replication design for the workloads that justify it, with failover and failback procedures written down rather than improvised.
Testing and documentation
Restore and failover exercises, with runbooks your team can follow under pressure without the consultant present.
Typical starting points
- Backups run, but no one has performed a restore this year
- Recovery objectives were set once and never revisited
- Microsoft 365 data is assumed to be backed up when it is not
- A continuity plan exists as a document but has never been exercised
Not sure where your risk actually sits?
Start with a scoped assessment of your Microsoft 365 and Azure environment.
