IT DR Technical Impact Analysis · IT Disaster Recovery
What can IT actually recover, compared with what the business needs?
For IT director, infrastructure manager, CIO
The business sets recovery objectives; IT has to meet them. We establish what each application can really achieve today, its recovery time and recovery point capability, compare that with RTO and RPO targets we validate with your IT and application owners, and show the impact of realistic loss scenarios such as ransomware or a regional cloud outage, so you invest where the gaps are largest. No prior BIA is needed.

Questions leaders ask
What is the difference between a risk assessment and a Technical Impact Analysis?
A risk assessment identifies threats. A Technical Impact Analysis measures what IT can actually recover, and how fast, against what the business needs.
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.
