Disaster Recovery Solutions
Plan. Prepare.
Recover. Resume.
Comprehensive disaster recovery planning that turns “what if” into “we're ready.” Impact analysis, risk assessment, planning, and regular exercises.
Schedule Your DR AssessmentHope Is Not a Recovery Strategy
Every business owner knows disaster can strike. Fire, flood, ransomware, hardware failure, human error—the threats are endless. But knowing isn't the same as preparing. Most businesses have no documented plan for what happens when the unthinkable occurs.
Others have a plan—written three years ago, sitting in a binder no one has opened since. Systems have changed, personnel have changed, but the plan hasn't. When disaster strikes, they discover their playbook is fiction.
And even businesses with current plans often skip the most important step: testing. They've never actually walked through a recovery scenario. They've never timed their restoration process. They discover the gaps when they're already in crisis mode.
DR Planning That's Actually Useful
We don't create binder-filler. We build disaster recovery programs that work—plans that are current, tested, and ready to execute when you need them.
Impact Analysis First
Before planning recovery, we understand impact. Which systems are truly critical? What's the cost of each hour of downtime? This analysis drives prioritization and investment decisions.
Risk-Based Planning
Not all disasters are equally likely or equally devastating. We assess your specific risks and design countermeasures that address your actual threat landscape.
Regular Testing
A plan that hasn't been tested is a guess. We conduct regular DR exercises—tabletop walkthroughs, technical drills, and full failover tests—to verify your plan actually works.
Living Documentation
Your environment changes constantly. Our DR planning includes regular reviews and updates to keep your plan current with your actual infrastructure.
Key Capabilities
Comprehensive disaster recovery solutions designed for planning, testing, and execution when it matters most.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
Systematic identification of critical business processes and the IT systems that support them. Quantified downtime costs drive recovery prioritization.
IT Risk Assessment
Analysis of threats to your IT environment—natural disasters, cyberattacks, equipment failures, human error. Likelihood and impact evaluated for each risk.
Recovery Plan Documentation
Detailed recovery procedures for your critical systems. Step-by-step playbooks that anyone can follow, not just the person who wrote them.
Recovery Site Options
Hot site, warm site, cold site, or cloud-based recovery—options evaluated based on your RTO requirements and budget.
Regular DR Exercises
Tabletop exercises to walk through scenarios. Technical tests to verify backup restoration. Full failover tests when stakes warrant.
Ongoing Plan Updates
Quarterly reviews and updates to keep your DR plan current. Changes in infrastructure automatically trigger plan revisions.
Part of Your Complete IT Shield
Disaster recovery ties together all other pillars. Here's how:
Data Backup
Backups are the foundation of recovery. DR planning coordinates backup strategy with recovery procedures and RTO/RPO requirements.
WAN Connectivity
Recovery may require alternate connectivity. DR plans include backup internet options and failover procedures.
IT Infrastructure
Recovery procedures address every critical system—servers, workstations, applications. Priority order is defined and documented.
Cybersecurity
Cyber incidents are disasters too. DR planning includes ransomware recovery scenarios with tested playbooks.
Measurable Outcomes
We thought we had a disaster recovery plan until LNS tested it. Turns out our recovery would have taken three days, not the four hours we assumed. Now we've got a plan that's been tested and actually works.
