Azure, Data and Security

Business Continuity

Backup, recovery and failover designs that have been tested rather than assumed.

Technologies

  • Azure Backup
  • Azure Site Recovery
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Azure Monitor

Recovery plans that have never been rehearsed are documentation, not capability. We agree objectives with the business, design to meet them, and run tests that produce evidence including the failures worth knowing about in advance.

Business outcomes

Objectives from the business

Recovery targets agreed with process owners.

Tested recovery

Evidence from rehearsal rather than untested design.

Clear responsibilities

Who does what during an incident, practised.

Capabilities

Impact analysis

Process criticality, dependencies and recovery objectives.

Resilience architecture

Backup, replication, redundancy and failover design.

Testing programme

Scheduled rehearsals with documented outcomes.

Incident readiness

Runbooks, communications and role assignment.

How we deliver it

  1. Assess

    Estate discovery, dependency mapping, criticality and readiness.

  2. Design

    Landing zone, network, identity, policy, cost model and operating cadence.

  3. Build

    Infrastructure as code with policy applied from the first deployment.

  4. Migrate

    Waves sequenced by risk, each rehearsed with a rollback path.

  5. Operate

    Monitoring, cost review, compliance reporting and a platform backlog.
