Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Keep Your Operations Running — No Matter What

Disruptions are inevitable. The question is whether your organization can recover quickly and completely. We design and implement disaster recovery and business continuity frameworks that keep your critical operations running — ensuring that when disruptions occur, recovery is fast, predictable, and fully compliant with regulatory requirements.

What We Do

Our Scope of Work

  • Conduct business impact analysis (BIA) to identify critical processes and recovery priorities
  • Define Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) for all systems
  • Design redundant infrastructure and automated failover mechanisms
  • Develop and document Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP)
  • Design and execute DR testing programs including tabletop exercises and live failover tests
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for business continuity in GCC financial and government sectors
Outcomes

What You Can Expect

Documented, tested DR/BCP plans aligned with regulatory requirements

Reduced recovery time from hours/days to minutes/hours

Confidence that critical systems can be restored within defined RTO/RPO

Regulatory compliance for business continuity in GCC regulated sectors

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?

Disaster recovery (DR) focuses specifically on restoring IT systems and data after a disruption. Business continuity (BC) is broader — it covers all the processes, people, and resources needed to keep the business operating during and after a disruption, including manual workarounds when systems are unavailable. An effective program addresses both dimensions.

How often should disaster recovery plans be tested?

DR plans should be tested at minimum annually, with tabletop exercises conducted quarterly. Any significant infrastructure change — a cloud migration, a new critical system, a major application upgrade — should trigger an updated DR test. Many GCC regulators, including SAMA, mandate regular DR testing with documented results.

What are RTO and RPO and how do you determine the right targets?

Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is the maximum acceptable time for a system to be unavailable after a disruption. Recovery Point Objective (RPO) is the maximum acceptable data loss measured in time. We determine appropriate targets through a business impact analysis that quantifies the cost of downtime and data loss for each critical system, then design recovery solutions that meet those targets within your budget constraints.
