IT DR Testing Program · IT Disaster Recovery
We've never tested our DR plan.
For IT director, infrastructure manager, IT DR lead
An untested plan is the costlier risk. We plan and run DR tests, from tabletop walkthroughs to functional and full-scale recovery exercises, designed to minimize disruption. Each test is managed end to end and reported: what was recovered, how long it took against your recovery objectives, what failed, and what to fix before the next one.

Questions leaders ask
Won't testing disrupt operations?
We design tests to minimize impact and maximize what you learn. Tabletop exercises are discussion-based walkthroughs; functional and full-scale exercises are scheduled around your operations.
How often should we test?
At least annually, and after major changes or incidents.
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.
