If Your Systems Stopped, What Would You Restore First?

Lost files, ransomware or a failed server can interrupt more than IT. Identify the information and services your team needs to keep the business operating.

Discuss Your Recovery Priorities →

Recognise The Gaps Before An Interruption.

Important Information Is Missing

Files may sit on individual devices, shared drives or cloud services. Establish what matters and whether every required location is covered.

A Backup Exists, But Recovery Is Uncertain

A completed job does not show how quickly your team can resume work. Ask what has actually been restored and tested.

Downtime Has A Business Cost

Consider orders, customer service, finance and operational tasks. Decide how long each can stop and how much recent data could be lost.

No One Owns The Recovery

Agree who leads, who approves decisions and which suppliers or staff are needed. Keep the recovery steps accessible during an incident.

Turn Concern Into Clear Priorities.

Name The Critical Work

List the services your business needs first and the data, applications and people behind them.

Agree Acceptable Disruption

Discuss tolerable downtime and data loss with the people responsible for operations.

Ask For Recovery Evidence

Review restore-test results, gaps and follow-up actions rather than relying only on backup status.

Protection And Recovery Need Different Controls.

Strengthen accounts, devices and information access to reduce exposure. Protect backup copies and test restoration so recovery is planned when something goes wrong.
