Assurance that you could recover, if the worst things happened.

Every organisation depends on systems and data that could, one day, fail – be it through cyber attack, hardware failure, or human error. A disaster recovery plan is only as good as its ability to work in those pressured circumstances.

Wbg’s specialists provide independent assurance over your disaster recovery arrangements. We assess whether your plans are realistic, tested, and capable of restoring critical systems and data within acceptable timeframes. In practice this gives leadership teams genuine confidence, in place of false comfort.

We provide independent disaster recovery assurance, including:

Disaster recovery plan reviews and gap analysis
Recovery time and recovery point objective assessments
Backup and data restoration control reviews
Testing and rehearsal effectiveness reviews
IT resilience and system redundancy assessments
Alignment with recognised standards and good practice
Integration with business continuity planning
FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between disaster recovery and business continuity?

Disaster recovery focuses on restoring IT systems and data after a disruptive event. Business continuity is broader: keeping the whole organisation running. The two are closely linked, and we can review both.

We have a disaster recovery plan. Isn't that enough?

A plan on paper isn’t the same as a plan that works. We assess whether yours is realistic, up to date, and – crucially – actually tested, so you know it will perform when it matters.

What are recovery time and recovery point objectives?

They define how quickly you need to restore systems (recovery time) and how much data you can afford to lose (recovery point). We assess whether your arrangements can actually meet the objectives you’ve set.

How often should disaster recovery be reviewed?

Regularly, and after any significant change to your systems. Technology and threats evolve, and a plan that fitted two years ago may no longer hold.
