DR & BCP Management

Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity, Built for Modern Disruption

Disruptions are inevitable, and they're getting more varied. Ransomware, AI-augmented cyberattacks, cloud-provider outages, supply-chain interruptions, regulatory events, and natural disasters all create scenarios in which your business needs to keep running while IT, operations, and leadership work to restore normal operations.


Our Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Management service helps you prepare for the full range of modern disruptions. We design integrated DR and BCP programs that connect IT recovery capabilities with business process continuity, so that when something goes wrong, your people know what to do, your systems recover in the right order, and your customers stay served.


Increasingly, this includes planning for AI-driven scenarios, such as ransomware operations that exfiltrate data faster than you can detect them, deepfake-driven impersonation during crisis communications, and cloud or AI service outages that cascade through your operations in ways that traditional DR plans don't anticipate.

Our Approach

Business Impact
Analysis (BIA) & Risk Assessment

  • Identify your critical business processes, the technology that supports them, and the dependencies between them.
     

  • Quantify the cost of downtime and data loss for each process to inform recovery priorities.
     

  • Map threat scenarios across the modern disruption spectrum: cyberattacks, ransomware, AI-augmented attacks, cloud outages, supply chain disruptions, and natural disasters.
     

  • Define recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO) anchored in business reality, not IT assumptions.

DR and BCP Strategy
& Plan Development

  • Design integrated IT disaster recovery and business continuity strategies that work as one program, not two separate documents.
     

  • Develop role-based playbooks for IT, business operations, executive leadership, and crisis communications.
    ​

  • Build recovery sequencing that reflects actual system dependencies.
     

  • Incorporate AI-driven crisis scenarios into your plans: deepfake executive impersonation during incidents, ransomware with data theft, and AI service or cloud provider outages.
     

  • Align with industry standards, including ISO 22301, NIST SP 800-34, FFIEC, HIPAA, or sector-specific resilience requirements.

Implementation, Testing
& Tabletop Exercises

  • Operationalize plans with documentation, runbooks, and communication trees that work under real conditions.
     

  • Conduct tabletop exercises across IT, executive, and full-organization scopes to stress-test decision-making.
     

  • Run technical recovery tests, including failover, backup restoration, and cloud-region failover, to validate that recovery capability matches the plan.
     

  • AI-generated scenario injection during exercises to simulate modern threat patterns your team hasn't seen before.
     

  • Identify gaps between planned and actual recovery performance, and translate findings into program improvements

Continuous Maintenance
& Program Governance

  • Establish governance, ownership, and review cadence so the plan stays current as your business, technology, and threat landscape change.
     

  • Update plans after major changes: M&A, system migrations, new third-party dependencies, and regulatory shifts.
     

  • Track program metrics that demonstrate resilience maturity to executives, boards, regulators, and auditors.
     

  • Use AI-assisted analysis of post-incident and post-exercise data to identify pattern-level improvements across multiple events.

Benefits

Recovery That Reflects Business Reality

Recovery objectives and sequencing are anchored in business impact analysis, not IT assumptions. Your most critical processes come back first, in the right order, with the dependencies sorted out.

Tested Recovery, Not Theoretical Recovery

Tabletop exercises and technical recovery tests validate that your plan actually works. You'll know your real RTO, where the gaps are, and what to fix before a real event tests it for you.

Plans That Work Under Modern Disruption

Ransomware with data exfiltration, AI-driven impersonation during a crisis, cloud and AI-service outages, supply-chain interruption - your plans address the disruption scenarios your business actually faces today, not the ones it faced a decade ago.

Program That Stays Current

A DR/BCP program is only as good as its last update. Continuous governance, refresh cadence, and post-event learning keep the program credible with auditors, regulators, your board, and the customers you've committed to.

More Resilience Services

Need a specific aspect of resilience?  Our Cyber Resilience Review is ideal for a broad evaluation of your cyber resilience capabilities. Incident Planning helps you design and build actionable incident plans and incident-specific playbooks. Incident Emergency Response provides immediate active crisis support, and our Compromise Assessment provides retrospective threat hunting following an incident. DR and BCP Management focuses on keeping the business running when something goes wrong, and recovering it cleanly afterward.

Your DR Plan Was Probably Written for Outages, Not Adversaries.

Most disaster recovery and business continuity plans were designed when "disruption" meant a hardware failure or a hurricane. Today's disruptions are more often ransomware operations, AI-driven attacks, and cascading cloud outages, scenarios that traditional DR/BCP plans handle poorly.

 

TBDCyber builds integrated DR and BCP programs anchored in business impact, validated through testing, and updated for the disruption landscape your organization is actually facing.
