Disaster recovery
Ransomware that encrypts your data, a failed server, a data center that goes down: when technology fails, every hour of downtime costs money, customers and trust. Disaster recovery (DRP) is the technical plan to bring your systems and your data back up within a time the business can absorb. It rests on backups that really do restore, on a replica ready to take over and on step by step procedures, built to be run calmly even under pressure.
Disaster recovery for companies, across Spain.
Why
On the day of the disaster what matters is not how many backups you have, but how quickly you are operating again. That is what disaster recovery is about.
Downtime turns into lost sales, customers and reputation. The RTO sets how long you can take to recover.
A backup you have never restored, or that takes days, is not a recovery: it is an untested promise.
That is why you need immutable backups, beyond its reach, that you can restore without paying a ransom.
The DRP runs what the continuity plan decides: bringing systems and data back up.
What it includes
A disaster recovery plan that truly covers every technical failure, not just on paper.
We set how long you can take to recover (RTO) and how much data you can lose (RPO) for each system.
Backups that ransomware cannot encrypt or delete, verified and truly restorable.
Continuous replication to a redundant copy in high availability, ready to take over the moment the primary goes down.
Clear recovery procedures, written to be run under pressure and without doubts.
We restore for real, not on paper. A backup that has never been tested does not count.
It meets what NIS2 and DORA require on recovery and supports ISO 22301 certification.
The costliest mistake
Most recovery plans fail because they assume the backups work.
Many companies discover on the day of the disaster that the backup was corrupt, incomplete or that restoring it takes days. By then it is too late. That is why we do not take it on trust: we restore for real and measure how long it takes, so that the RTO is a real figure and not a wish.
The DRP is not about buying more backup. It is about knowing what to recover first, in how long and how, and having rehearsed it. A backup that has never been restored is a promise, not a guarantee.
The difference
Backups that run on their own and that nobody has ever restored. On the day of the disaster you cross your fingers: hoping they boot and how long they take.
Immutable, tested backups, a ready replica and a runbook your team knows how to run. You recover within the expected time, no surprises.
When
A day without systems halts the whole business. You need to be operating again in hours, not days.
The law requires you to have backups, recovery and periodic tests, and to be able to prove it in an audit.
If losing it would be a disaster, you need a low RPO and backups the attack cannot touch.
You want immutable backups the attack cannot reach and to recover your systems without paying a ransom.
How we work
An orderly method so that on the day of the disaster recovery is routine, not improvisation.
Which systems are critical and what RTO and RPO each one needs so as not to harm the business.
The strategy of immutable backups, replica and failover that meets those objectives.
The recovery runbooks, step by step, to run them without doubts under pressure.
Real restores that measure the time and confirm that the data really comes back.
It fits with
Disaster recovery does not stand alone: it runs what the continuity plan decides, it is validated in the crisis exercises and it rests on the day to day managed backup.
And it connects with the defense: when the SOC detects and incident response contains an attack, the DRP is what returns the systems to normal. You have the full continuity and cyber resilience area.
FAQ
The continuity plan (BCP) looks at the whole business: how to keep serving customers even if something fails. Disaster recovery (DRP) is the technical part: how to bring systems and data back up. The DRP runs what the continuity plan decides.
The RTO is the target time to get a system running again after an outage. The RPO is how much data you can afford to lose, measured in time. Together they define how fast and how fine the recovery of each system has to be.
No. A backup that has never been restored, or that ransomware can encrypt, is not a recovery. The DRP adds immutable backups, a ready replica and real restore tests, so you know that on the day of the disaster the data really comes back.
Backups that, once made, cannot be modified or deleted for a set time, neither by an attacker nor by mistake. So even if ransomware encrypts your systems, the backup stays intact and you can recover without paying a ransom.
Yes. Article 21 of NIS2 and article 11 of DORA require backups, recovery and periodic testing, and ISO 22301 takes them for granted. The DRP and its tests leave the evidence that an audit asks for.
Yes, it is the most important thing. A backup that is never restored, you do not know whether it works. That is why we run real restores that measure how long they take and confirm that the data comes back, and we repeat them when systems change.
How long would it take you to recover if everything went down today?
If you do not have an answer with numbers, you do not have a recovery plan. Let's start by measuring your real RTO.
