IT Disaster Recovery

Most businesses assume their backups will work when they’re genuinely needed. Far fewer have actually tested that assumption properly. IT disaster recovery closes that gap, giving you a documented, tested plan for getting back up and running after something goes seriously wrong.

Who it’s for

This service suits businesses that depend on their systems and data to operate, which today means almost every business, regardless of size or sector. It’s particularly valuable if you’ve never formally tested your backups, don’t have a written recovery plan, or have grown to the point where “we’ll sort it out if it happens” is no longer a sensible answer.

Disaster recovery works closely alongside cloud backup and the wider protections in NX Cyber, rather than replacing either.

What’s included

A disaster recovery engagement typically covers:

• A documented plan setting out priorities, responsibilities and recovery order
• Review of your current backup arrangements, including frequency, location and security
• Testing of backups and recovery steps, so failures are found before a real incident
• Specific preparation for ransomware, including isolated, attacker-resistant backup copies
• Guidance on keeping critical operations running while full systems are restored

The result is a plan that reflects how your business actually works, not a generic template that assumes every system matters equally. Some systems need to be back within hours; others can reasonably wait a few days, and the plan should say which is which.

How it works

We start by understanding what your business genuinely depends on and how quickly each system or dataset would need to be restored if it were lost. That informs a documented recovery plan covering priorities, responsibilities and the practical steps to follow under pressure.

From there, we help implement or improve the backup and recovery arrangements the plan depends on, including offsite and ransomware-resistant copies, and test them periodically so you’re not finding out they don’t work at the worst possible moment. Testing is kept practical and low-disruption, rather than a major project in itself.

Why NXAPP

Disaster recovery planning from NXAPP is practical rather than theoretical: plans are written to be usable during a stressful, time-pressured incident, not filed away and forgotten. Because it sits within NX Cyber, recovery planning connects naturally with our cyber incident response service, so if the worst happens, containment and recovery work together rather than as two separate conversations.
