For IT director, infrastructure manager, IT DR lead

Talk to us about thisHow it works
You receiveDR Technical Assessment Report (current vs. future state) · Populated Technical Impact Analysis workbook · DR Program Component Assessment
Timing and scopeConfirmed with you after a first conversation, once we understand your organization.
What happens nextA written recommendation. If you proceed, a scoped proposal for the next stage.
Scope noteThis assessment refreshes your existing IT DR Plan. It does not write new system runbooks; those are part of IT DR Strategy, Plan and Runbook Development.

Infrastructure, applications and cloud services change constantly, and DR plans rarely keep up. We assess whether your DR infrastructure can meet business recovery requirements across seven technical areas, including cloud and SaaS, review the eight program components that keep DR actionable and sustainable, and refresh your existing IT DR Plan to match today's environment, with a gap analysis and prioritized roadmap.

Questions leaders ask

Do you implement DR technology?

The Discover and Design services define and document what is needed. Implementation can be scoped separately, and we confirm how in the proposal.

What is the difference between BC testing and DR testing?

BC testing validates that business processes can continue; DR testing validates that IT systems can be recovered. Crisis drills test leadership, decisions and communications.

How often should plans be tested and updated?

At least annually, and after major changes or incidents.

Why it matters nowThe numbers behind this
About two-thirdsof publicly reported outages tracked over nine years came from third-party IT and data center providers, including cloud, telecom and colocation (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2026)
57%of organizations said their most recent major outage cost more than $100,000, and 1 in 5 reported costs over $1 million (Source: Uptime Institute, Annual Outage Analysis 2026)
