The questions that matter in a disruption

Three questions every leadership team should be able to answer

01

Can we recover?

Which critical services come back after ransomware, an outage or human error, and in what order?

02

How long will it take?

Do actual restore times meet the recovery targets the business has agreed to?

03

How do we know?

What evidence can we show leadership, auditors and insurers, beyond a green status light?

The recovery gap

Tools create recovery potential. Testing creates evidence.

The recovery gap: controls that exist are not the same as recovery you can demonstrate.

What most organizations have

  • Backups that report success every night
  • A disaster recovery plan on file
  • Security tools deployed and monitored
  • An insurance policy and a renewal questionnaire

What leadership actually needs

  • Restores tested against realistic scenarios
  • Recovery times measured, not estimated
  • Gaps ranked by business impact, with an owner
  • Evidence ready for the board, auditors and insurers

Recovery Assurance closes that gap.

How Recovery Assurance works

One cycle, from assumptions to evidence

Recovery Assurance isn’t another technology platform. It’s the discipline of checking whether the capabilities you rely on actually add up to recovery.

1

Discover

Identify critical services, what they depend on and how fast they must return.

2

Protect

Align backup, retention, security and recovery design with what the business needs.

3

Validate

Test recovery in a controlled way and measure the results.

4

Evidence

Record what was tested, what happened and what remains uncertain.

5

Improve

Fix the gaps that matter most, then test again as things change.

Your Backup Is Lying to You
