Methodology for resilient disaster recovery

A tested methodology shields organizations from business-crippling events. Each phase, from discovery through simulation, is anchored in documented workflows, transparent analysis, and Indian regulatory context.

Discovery & Mapping

Cloud disaster recovery cannot rely on chance. The process begins with mapping business-critical systems and identifying dependencies that influence the recovery path.

Structured Risk Audit

Objective risk assessment is central to the methodology. Every threat, from outages to compliance gaps, is logged and measured for likelihood and impact.

Custom Plan Design

No solution fits all. Technology selection and process design adapt to unique operational realities, regulatory pressures, and evolving business needs.

Simulation & Refinement

Scenario-based simulations are scheduled to test every assumption. Plans are updated, roles clarified, and lessons are built into future cycles.

Step-by-step workflow for disaster recovery

Every project moves through a workflow proven in high-pressure scenarios. Each step builds on the previous, minimizing risk of oversight and ensuring readiness under real conditions.

01

Map business systems and risks

Business impact analysis comes first, mapping every critical dependency and ranking systems by recovery priority. This ensures the recovery path aligns with operational needs.

Dependencies
Mapped
02

Audit threats and vulnerabilities

Objective risk audits identify vulnerabilities across infrastructure, processes, and compliance. Each finding is documented and used to quantify potential impact.

Vulnerabilities
Assessed
03

Develop tailored recovery plans

Strategies are designed and reviewed collaboratively, weighing technology fit, regulatory requirements, and business priorities. Detailed response actions are documented for clarity.

Plans
Drafted
04

Test recovery plans in simulation

Comprehensive simulation drills expose gaps in recovery workflows and surface unforeseen risks. Team roles are rehearsed, and feedback loops are established for ongoing improvement.
Simulations
Completed
05

Continuous review and adaptation

A recurring improvement cycle keeps plans current, adapting documentation and processes after each test or actual incident. This discipline turns recovery from a static document into an evolving practice.

Reviews
Scheduled

Project timeline and milestone phases

A disciplined delivery timeline keeps each project on track and aligned with business needs. Phases build cumulatively, supporting lasting resilience.
01
[Week 1]

Initial assessment and scoping workshop

Project kickoff begins with a comprehensive scoping session, aligning stakeholders and collecting operational details. Initial system and process mapping takes place during this stage.

02
[Weeks 2-3]

Risk and business impact analysis phase

Detailed risk audit and business impact analysis are conducted. Each vulnerability is identified, and potential recovery strategies are outlined in close consultation with client teams.

03
[Weeks 4-5]

Drafting and review of recovery strategy

A draft recovery plan is produced, specifying recovery time objectives, technology selections, and process flows. Stakeholder workshops review assumptions and validate proposed actions.

04
[Weeks 6-7]

Plan simulation and refinement

Simulation and tabletop testing are performed. Team roles are tested, feedback is collected, and plan weaknesses are addressed. Documentation is refined after every drill.

05
[Week 8]

Delivery, training, and ongoing review setup

Final plan is delivered with documentation, post-project training, and scheduling for regular reviews. Ongoing support is set for continuous adaptation to regulatory and operational changes.

Guiding principles behind our recovery process

Learning from real-world incidents and documentation

Plans are developed on the foundation of real case evidence and scenario analysis, ensuring each engagement draws on lessons from past failures and recoveries, not theory alone. Documentation serves as a living record, adapted over time.
