Audit & Assurance
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
BIA-driven BC/DR planning, tabletop exercises, and recovery validation. We ensure your continuity plans are tested, current, and aligned to business-critical operations.
Request an AssessmentWhat We Do
We help organisations build, test, and maintain business continuity and disaster recovery programs that work when they are needed—not just on paper. Every engagement starts with business impact analysis and ends with validated recovery capabilities.
- Conduct Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to identify critical processes, RTOs, and RPOs
- Develop or update BC/DR plans aligned to ISO 22301 and organisational requirements
- Design and facilitate tabletop exercises for cyber, operational, and natural disaster scenarios
- Execute recovery validation testing including failover, backup restoration, and communication drills
- Establish plan maintenance cycles with ownership, review schedules, and trigger-based updates
How We Do It
Business Impact Analysis
We interview process owners, map dependencies, and quantify downtime impact to establish RTOs, RPOs, and MAOs for every critical function.
Plan Development
We build or update BC/DR plans with recovery procedures, escalation paths, communication trees, and resource requirements—structured for usability under pressure.
Tabletop Exercises
We design scenario-based exercises (ransomware, data centre loss, supply chain disruption) that test decision-making, communication, and coordination.
Recovery Testing
We validate technical recovery capabilities through failover tests, backup restoration, and alternate site activation to verify RTOs and RPOs.
Continuous Improvement
We debrief exercises and tests, document lessons learned, and integrate improvements into the next plan revision cycle.

Who This Is For
- CIOs and IT leaders responsible for recovery capabilities
- CISOs integrating cyber resilience into continuity planning
- Risk managers and compliance officers in regulated industries
- Operations leaders with business-critical process dependencies
- Organisations that have never tested—or recently failed—a recovery scenario
Test Your Recovery Readiness
Request a BIA or tabletop exercise to validate whether your continuity plans will hold under real pressure.
