Introduction

We understand that cybersecurity is vital for the smooth operation of your business. While we take every measure to prevent disruptions, it’s important to be prepared for unexpected incidents that may compromise data integrity, availability, or confidentiality. The following Disaster Recovery Solutions outlines our systematic approach to restoring your critical systems and safeguarding your data in the event of a disaster.

Types of Disaster Recovery Solutions

Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery (DRaaS)

Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) provides a cloud-based platform where virtual servers can be spun up on demand to recover data and applications. It is cost-effective, scalable, and eliminates the need for a physical secondary disaster recovery site.

On-Premises Disaster Recovery

Involves maintaining a secondary disaster recovery site that is geographically distinct from the primary site. This can be expensive due to the need for additional hardware, software, and maintenance.

Hybrid Disaster Recovery

Combines on-premises and cloud-based solutions, allowing for greater flexibility and optimization of recovery strategies based on the criticality of data and applications.

Backup to Cloud

Regular backups are made to a cloud service, offering a simpler and cost-effective solution for businesses that can tolerate longer recovery times.

Virtualization-Based Recovery

Utilizes virtualization technology to manage and recover virtual machines, enabling rapid recovery of entire systems, including the operating system, applications, and data.

High Availability Systems

Designed to provide continuous operation and minimize downtime, these systems automatically failover to a standby system without human intervention in the event of a failure.

Key Aspects of Disaster Recovery Solutions

Recovery Time Objective (RTO)

The maximum acceptable time that an application or a system can be offline after a disaster.

Recovery Point Objective (RPO)

The maximum acceptable amount of data loss measured in time. It represents the age of the files or data in backup storage required to resume normal operations if a computer system or network failure occurs.

Data Replication

Continuous replication of data in real-time or at scheduled intervals to a secondary site or cloud environment, ensuring that the most recent data is available for recovery.

Backup Solutions

Regularly scheduled backups to on-site devices, off-site locations, or cloud-based services. Backups can be full, incremental, or differential.

Failover and Failback Processes

Automated switching to a redundant or standby system, server, network, or data center upon the failure or abnormal termination of the previously active application, server, system, or network (failover), and the subsequent return to the original system once it’s deemed safe (failback).

Site Diversity

  • On-Site Recovery: Involves backups and recovery processes that occur in the same physical location as the primary data center, offering fast recovery for minor incidents.
  • Off-Site Recovery: Utilizes a geographically separate location to ensure recovery in the event of a regional disaster, providing higher data protection.

Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) Documentation

  • Purpose: Outlines how an organization responds to an incident that causes data loss or downtime, detailing recovery strategies, roles, and responsibilities.
  • Maintenance: Requires regular updates and testing to ensure its effectiveness in realworld scenarios.

Testing and Drills

  • Necessity: Regular testing of the disaster recovery plan is crucial to identify gaps and ensure that the recovery processes work as intended.
  • Methods: Includes simulations, tabletop exercises, and full recovery testing to validate every aspect of the plan.

Regulatory Compliance and Standards

  • Compliance: Ensuring that the disaster recovery strategies adhere to legal and regulatory requirements specific to the industry.
  • Standards: Following best practices and standards (such as ISO 22301) for business continuity and disaster recovery planning.

Our Procedure

  • Identification and Reporting

    Talk to our experts to identify your backup needs.

  • 1

  • Assessment

    The team will assess the nature and extent of the incident to determine the appropriate course of action.

  • 2

  • Communication

    Notify all relevant stakeholders, such as employees, partners, and customers, based on the severity of the incident.

  • 3

  • Activation of the Disaster Recovery Plan

    Implement backup and recovery procedures to restore critical systems.

  • 4

  • Mitigation

    Deploy countermeasures to prevent further damage, such as isolating affected systems and applying security patches.

  • 5

  • Data Restoration

    Recover the compromised data from secure backups.

  • 6

  • Monitoring

    Monitor the systems for any signs of weaknesses that could be exploited again.

  • 7

  • Post-Incident Analysis

    Conduct a thorough analysis to understand the root cause and improve future response actions.
