We support you in building and optimizing your DRP

 

Weak or non-existent IT resilience exposes companies to considerable risks. Firstly, is increased vulnerability to ransomware attacks, threatening data security and leading to significant financial costs. The resulting prolonged downtime and loss of productivity can disrupt the smooth running of businesses, leading to a confidence’s loss from customers and partners.

Following a cyber-attack, data recovery costs, including system restoration and legal consequences, can be exorbitant, impacting even the financial stability of the company.

Our support offer is based on the following 4 pillars, enabling you to acquire a high level of IT resilience through a clear and precise methodology.

  • Implementation of an asset classification methodology
  • Assessment of the resilience of your infrastructures using proven method expertise
  • Carrying out and managing back-up tests regarding your disaster recovery plan
  • Optimizing your IT resilience mechanisms

FAQ

What's the difference between a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and an IT Continuity Plan (ICP)?

A BCP (Business Continuity Plan) evaluates scenarios linked to critical business activities and defines and implements the appropriate preventive measures.
An ICP (IT Continuity Plan) deals with critical elements of the IT system, defines and implements the appropriate preventive measures.

Does the increasing deployment of cloud services with high levels of availability make it necessary to have a Disaster Recovery Plan and restore tests?

Cloud deployment with highly available services offers increased resilience but does not dispense having a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) and recovery testing. Major incidents, comprehensive IT environment management, compliance requirements and unplanned scenarios justify the ongoing need for a DRP to ensure full preparedness and effective disaster recovery.

What role does IT resilience play within operational resilience?

IT resilience plays an essential role in operational resilience, guaranteeing the continuity of IT activities in the face of major incidents or disasters. It encompasses incident planning, preparation, and response, ensuring system availability, data protection and fast business recovery in the event of a disaster. IT resilience is therefore considered a fundamental pillar of operational resilience.

What future for on-premises sites hosting business’ critical applications?"

The future of on-premises sites hosting business’ critical applications continue to be influenced by fast evolving technologies. While many companies are embracing the cloud for its flexibility, some are expected to maintain on-premises infrastructures for security, compliance, or specific performance reasons. The trend towards hybridization, combining on-premises and cloud environments, could prevail, enabling companies to leverage the benefits of both approaches according to their specific needs.

Is deploying a comprehensive IT resilience strategy in my company worth the cost?"'

Investments in IT resilience offer essential protection against disasters, cyber-attacks, and costly downtimes. Considering the growing risks associated with cybersecurity and business interruptions, the long-term benefits of well-implemented IT resilience significantly exceed the initial costs.
