Specialist Services · Business Continuity

When the worst day comes, it should feel rehearsed.

Business continuity and disaster recovery built to ISO 22301 discipline: impact analysis that reflects how your business really earns money, plans people can execute at 3am, and exercises that find the gaps before an incident does.

What we build

Continuity that survives contact with a real incident.

Plans that live in a drawer fail. We build a continuity capability: analysed, documented, exercised and owned.

Business impact analysis

Which processes actually keep revenue and obligations alive, how fast each must return, and what they depend on: quantified, not guessed.

Continuity & DR plans

Short, role-based plans with clear invocation criteria, written for the person holding the phone at 3am rather than the auditor.

Recovery objectives

RTOs and RPOs agreed with the business and tested against what your infrastructure can genuinely deliver: no fictional numbers.

Crisis management

A crisis team structure with decision authority, communications templates and regulator notification playbooks ready to run.

Exercising & testing

Desktop walkthroughs to full failover tests, run annually or quarterly, and each one ends with findings fixed rather than filed.

ISO 22301 & DORA alignment

Continuity evidenced for ISO 27001 Annex A, ISO 22301 certification or DORA's resilience-testing obligations: one build, several credits.

Why Cybercontrols

Resilience tested the way incidents actually happen.

How it works

From assumption to assurance in four moves.

Analyse

Impact analysis and dependency mapping across processes, systems, suppliers and people.

Design

Strategies and plans matched to your recovery objectives, and to the budget you actually have.

Exercise

Scenario-based tests with your real teams; every gap logged with an owner and a date.

Embed

An annual continuity cycle your organisation runs itself: reviews, tests and updates on calendar.

Questions

Business continuity, answered plainly.

We have backups. Isn't that continuity?

Backups are one control. Continuity is knowing which processes must return first, who decides, how you operate while systems are down, and proving it works. Many firms with excellent backups still fail their first real invocation.

Do we need ISO 22301 certification?

Usually only if clients or regulators demand it. Most organisations want 22301's discipline without the certificate. We build to the standard and you can certify later without rework.

How disruptive are the exercises?

Desktop exercises take half a day and touch no production systems. Technical failover tests are scheduled and scoped with your teams. The point is confidence, not chaos.

Does this satisfy DORA and NIS2 resilience requirements?

Both regulations expect tested continuity and incident response arrangements. Our builds evidence those obligations directly, and we map each artefact to the relevant article for your compliance file.
