Recovery Readiness Assessment
Most organizations believe they could recover. Far fewer have checked. AS reviews the environment and gives you a clear picture of where recovery would succeed, stall or fail.
When you need this
- Unsure whether current backups would survive ransomware
- New to the organization and inheriting an undocumented environment
- Cyber-insurance questionnaire needs honest answers
- Board or leadership asking 'are we ready?'
- Before investing in new backup or DR tooling
What we do
Backup coverage and isolation review
What is backed up, how often, where copies live, and whether an attacker with admin rights could destroy them.
Restore capability review
When full systems were last restored, how long it took, and what broke.
Dependency and documentation review
Whether the restore order, credentials and configurations are known and available offline.
Findings and priorities
A ranked list of gaps with practical, proportionate fixes.
How it works
- Step 1
Assess
Understand the environment, the risks that matter and what a disruption would actually cost.
- Step 2
Protect
Put the right backups, isolation and safeguards in place — and verify they work.
- Step 3
Recover
When something fails, recover data from the safest, most complete sources first.
- Step 4
Restore
Bring services back in business-priority order on clean, trusted infrastructure.
- Step 5
Validate
Confirm data integrity, application function and that the cause has been dealt with.
- Step 6
Improve
Close the gaps the incident exposed and update the plan.
What affects the outcome
Outcomes are never guaranteed. Every case is assessed on its own condition, and we tell you what is realistic before you commit.
- Whether backups exist, are complete and were verified before the incident
- How isolated backups and snapshots were from the systems that failed
- Documentation of the environment: dependencies, credentials, configurations
- Time since the incident and what has been changed since
- Availability of clean infrastructure to restore onto
Frequently asked questions
How long does an assessment take?
It depends on environment size. It is scoped after an initial conversation about your systems. [PLACEHOLDER: typical duration]
Is this a penetration test?
No. This assesses recoverability, not attackability. It complements a security assessment.
