What breaks first, and how long until we're running again?
Know what breaks first, and how fast you come back. Outages come from dependencies nobody wrote down. We find them before they fail, rebuild what cannot be trusted, and leave behind recovery plans that have been rehearsed rather than filed.
How we fix it, in three steps
Step 1: Map
Find the dependencies and single points of failure nobody wrote down.
Step 2: Rehearse
Tabletop and restore tests that show your real recovery time.
Step 3: Harden
Close the gaps and modernize what's fragile.
What we usually find, and what we do about it
The dependency nobody wrote down
Recovery fails on the system everyone forgot depended on the one that went down.
We map dependencies and time real restores, so recovery targets are measured, not hoped for.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery PlanningThe untested plan
Backups that pass an audit while the admin accounts around them are the weak link.
Tabletop exercises test the plan and the admin accounts around your backups.
Ransomware & Incident Tabletop ExercisesIn their words
Clients' own words, shared with their permission. Some chose to name their company.
Where most clients start
Ransomware & Incident Tabletop Exercises: We run cybersecurity incident, compliance, and business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) tabletop exercises. We rehearse a realistic attack with your leaders and IT, and you leave with a rewritten first-hour playbook. If an incident is already under way, we investigate.
All 5 Dependable offerings
"How long could we be down before customers start to leave?"
We map the dependencies, set recovery targets, name the owners and test the plan, so recovery is rehearsed rather than filed.
