Disaster Recovery

In today’s digital and regulatory landscape, disaster recovery (DR) is no longer a technical function—it’s a core business priority. Organizations must be able to restore critical systems, data, and operations quickly after a disruptive event. Whether triggered by a cyberattack, infrastructure failure, or third-party outage, recovery time is directly linked to reputational risk, financial impact, and regulatory exposure.

Under regulations such as DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), NIS2, and ISO 22301, companies are expected to go beyond traditional backups. They must demonstrate tested, auditable disaster recovery strategies that ensure continuity of service and protection of critical data, particularly in financial services, tech, and critical infrastructure sectors.

At WePlanBefore, we help organizations design and implement disaster recovery frameworks that are aligned with their business risk appetite, IT architecture, and compliance obligations. From recovery time objectives (RTOs) to alternative site readiness and communication during outages, we focus on building DR plans that are actionable, validated, and strategically embedded.

Disaster recovery is more than recovering data—it’s about restoring confidence. With our support, clients move from fragmented responses to structured, regulator-ready strategies that ensure resilience, compliance, and continuity under pressure.

How do we do?

• Business Impact Analysis (BIA) & Risk Impact Assessment (RIA): We start with a detailed BIA and RIA to identify critical processes, systems, interdependencies, and acceptable downtimes. These insights guide the design of your disaster recovery strategy and ensure it reflects real business priorities and compliance requirements
• Disaster Recovery Strategy & Planning: We develop customized DR plans that define RTOs, RPOs, recovery tiers, roles, and escalation flows—aligned with DORA, ISO 22301, and your internal governance model. Plans are mapped to your IT architecture and operational processes.
•  IT & Cyber Resilience Integration: We integrate DR plans with broader IT resilience and cybersecurity strategies, including secure backup, offsite recovery environments, ransomware response, and infrastructure failover procedures.
• Testing, Simulation & Validation: We facilitate live and tabletop disaster recovery exercises, helping your teams validate recovery protocols under realistic conditions. This includes compliance testing aligned with regulatory expectations and business continuity goals.
•  Documentation, Governance & Audit Readiness: We deliver complete and auditable DR documentation: runbooks, escalation matrices, response playbooks, and regulator-facing reports. These materials support both internal governance and external audits.
