Business Continuity Services

Know what needs to return first when systems or operations are disrupted. Killer Logic helps your team prepare backups, document recovery procedures and test whether essential work can resume.

Recognize the friction?

Could your team recover from an outage?

  • Backups exist, but nobody has demonstrated a usable restoration.
  • Recovery priorities differ between departments and technology owners.
  • Critical systems depend on accounts, vendors or configuration missing from the plan.
  • Procedures are outdated or known only to one person.

What we work on

Backups, recovery procedures, and testing

Business Continuity Services prepare your organization to keep essential work moving and restore technology after disruption. The focus is broader than buying backup storage: identify what the business depends on, how recovery should proceed and who can act. A backup report is useful evidence, but a successful backup alone does not demonstrate that applications, access and working processes can be restored.

Critical systems and dependencies

Identify the workflows the business needs first, then map applications, data, identity, connectivity and vendor dependencies. Include the people who authorize recovery and those who validate that work can resume. The recovery order should follow those dependencies rather than the order in which systems appear on an inventory.

Backup and offsite protection planning

Assess what is protected, where copies are held, how they are accessed and which failure scenarios the arrangements address. Review offsite protection, retention requirements and separation of backup administration where appropriate. Document responsibility for failed jobs, configuration changes and verifying that newly added data is covered.

Recovery objectives and procedures

Translate business needs into recovery priorities. A recovery time objective describes how long a workflow can remain unavailable; an acceptable data-loss objective describes how much recent work the business could recreate. Build those priorities into recovery steps, decision points, contact lists and validation checks, so the procedure guides people through restoring useful work.

Restore testing and plan reviews

Design tests that demonstrate a usable result, not only that files can be downloaded. Check dependencies, access and representative business tasks in a suitable test environment. Record findings and corrective actions. Review the plan periodically and after major system, staffing or vendor changes so it remains connected to the current environment.

Example Projects

A restored database is not yet a working system

For an operational application, test restoration of the database together with access, configuration and a representative user task. Record missing dependencies and correct them before an outage makes them urgent.

A key system is unavailable during a busy period

For a team that depends on a key system during busy periods, plan which work could continue through a temporary process and how to reconcile records when the primary system returns.

How we engage

Build and test your recovery plan

  1. Identify essential business activities, disruption scenarios and the systems and people they depend on.
  2. Assess current backup and recovery arrangements, then agree priorities and the improvements to make.
  3. Document recovery procedures and operating responsibilities, including coordination with current providers.
  4. Carry out agreed restore exercises, record findings and establish a schedule for corrective work and review.

What you take forward

Practical deliverables.

  • A backup and recovery assessment with coverage gaps and dependencies.
  • Recovery priorities with clearly stated assumptions about interruption and acceptable data loss.
  • Documented procedures, contacts, authority and operational responsibilities.
  • A testing plan, exercise findings and a prioritized list of corrective actions.

Before we get started

Questions worth asking.

Are backups enough for business continuity?

Backups protect recoverable copies of information, but continuity also needs priorities, people, access and usable procedures. Restore testing checks whether the protected data and dependencies can support real work. The plan should explain what happens while recovery is underway.

How do you establish recovery targets?

We start with how long your business can manage without each essential workflow and how much recent data it could recreate. Then we assess system dependencies, backup arrangements and the people needed to recover. Restore testing shows whether the proposed targets are realistic and what needs improving before recovery commitments are established.

Can we use our existing backup provider?

Yes. We can review your current backup arrangements and work with existing providers on recovery procedures and testing. Access to backup records, suitable test environments and restore instructions helps establish what works today and which gaps need attention.

How is continuity different from cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity reduces security risk and prepares for security incidents. Continuity prepares for restoring work after many kinds of disruption, including accidental deletion, equipment failure or an unavailable service. The two share dependencies, but recovery deserves its own procedures and testing.
