Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Develop resilience strategies to minimize downtime and data loss. Forgepath designs practical continuity and recovery approaches that match your systems, people, and risk tolerance.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery

Build Continuity first

Keep the Business Moving—Even When Systems Don’t

True resilience isn’t just “we have backups”—it’s knowing what must stay online, how long you can tolerate disruption, and how to operate when technology is degraded. This engagement aligns continuity goals with business reality: critical services, customer promises, regulatory obligations, and the people who keep it all running. We frame recovery around clear RTO/RPO targets, pragmatic runbooks, and decision points leaders can actually use under pressure.

We also cut through the noise that stalls BC/DR programs: unclear ownership, untested plans, and infrastructure assumptions that break at scale. You’ll gain right-sized strategies for apps and data (on-prem, cloud, SaaS), dependency awareness across identity and networking, and exercises that prove the plan holds without consuming your entire week. The outcome is predictable recovery and fewer surprises—before, during, and after an outage.

Focus On What Matters

Inside Your Business Continuity Program

We target four lenses to create reliable continuity and recovery without boiling the ocean.

Decide what matters most—and how fast it returns.

  • Identify business-critical processes and supporting apps/data.

  • Set RTO/RPO by service tier; define acceptable degradation modes (manual workarounds, limited features).

  • Capture upstream/downstream dependencies (identity, network, vendors).

Choose approaches that will actually work on your stack.

  • Map patterns: active/active, warm standby, pilot-light, snapshot-plus-logs, and SaaS export/restore options.

  • Define backup scope, immutability, access controls, and retention aligned to data value and obligations.

  • Document cutover, failback, and integrity checks.

Write what people need in the moment.

  • Short, role-aware runbooks: who does what, in what order, with which prerequisites.

  • Approval steps for risky moves (e.g., DNS cutovers, mass restores, emergency policy changes).

  • Communication prompts for customers, vendors, and leadership.

Prove it works—without grinding operations to a halt.

  • Tabletop drills for priority scenarios (ransomware, DC loss, cloud region outage, SaaS failure).

  • Verification tasks: sample restores, credential & key recovery checks, identity provider loss tests.

  • Track fit-for-purpose metrics: recovery time achieved vs. target, restore integrity, and handoff clarity.
