Business Continuity Planning
Keep Billing, Trading, and Serving—Even in a Crisis.
Our tested business continuity and disaster recovery strategies help you bounce back fast, minimise downtime, and protect your bottom line when the unexpected hits.
Stay Operational—Even When Everything Else Stops
Disruptions don’t wait for a quiet moment. A power outage, cyberattack, or hardware failure can grind your operations to a halt. Your team can’t bill. Clients don’t get served. Deadlines pass. And stress levels spike.
That’s why our business continuity planning services are built around one goal: keeping your business running when it matters most.
What Is Business Continuity Planning?
It’s more than having a backup.
Business continuity planning (BCP) means designing how your business will stay operational—no matter what comes your way. That includes people, systems, recovery strategies, and technology.
We help you create business continuity plans that are clear, cost-effective, and work when needed. Our plans are regularly tested and designed to minimise disruption and maximise operational resilience.
Whether you’re exploring what business continuity planning involves or looking to replace an outdated plan, we guide you through a clear, practical process built for your business.
When Disaster Strikes, You Stay in Control
Most IT providers focus on tools. We focus on how your business keeps running when disaster strikes.
What You’ll Get…
- A clear priority map, built from a business impact analysis (BIA), showing what’s critical to recover first.
- Recovery point objectives tailored to your business goals and budget.
- A business continuity test schedule—because any plan, including the best, must be tested to be trusted.
This is business continuity management and disaster recovery planning done right.
A Safety Net That’s Ready to Catch You
Our approach to business continuity and disaster recovery management is proactive, personalised, and stress-tested.
Before
- We work with you to define what matters most.
- We use relevant business continuity plan examples to show how similar organisations have prepared for and recovered from disruption—so your plan is grounded in what actually works.
- We tailor your strategy with the right services for your size and sector—whether you're in healthcare, legal, accounting, or construction, or any other industry.
During
- In the event of a disaster, we activate your recovery environment through our Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)—a core part of your broader business continuity plan.
- With typical configurations, your cloud backup can be virtualised within 30 minutes and made accessible in under 2 hours.
- With our DRaaS model, there are no compute costs until recovery is activated.
After
- We review, adjust, and re-test—because business continuity programs should evolve with your needs.
That’s what sets us apart among business continuity service providers.

FAQs - Get Clear on What Really Matters in a Crisis
1. What are the key components of an effective business continuity strategy?
An effective strategy isn’t just about having backups—it’s about knowing exactly how your business will continue operating when the unexpected happens. The core components include:
- A detailed business impact analysis (BIA) to identify what truly matters
- Clearly defined recovery point and time objectives
- A tailored set of procedures for communication, access, staffing, and operations
- Technology strategies for continuity, including hybrid or business continuity plan for cloud services
- Regular testing and reviews to keep the plan reliable and relevant
At Deployus, our business continuity management consulting services help organisations turn these principles into actionable, budget-appropriate solutions.
2. How do disaster recovery services differ from continuity planning?
Continuity planning focuses on keeping your core business operations running through unexpected events—not just recovering from them. It’s about making sure staff can access the tools, data, and systems they need to do their jobs with minimal disruption.
Disaster recovery services, on the other hand, are more technical—they deal with how quickly and completely you can restore IT infrastructure after a failure. They’re a subset of business continuity, not a replacement.
The most effective strategies combine both: planning for continuity, and investing in recovery capabilities that support it.
3. Why should organisations consider outsourcing continuity and recovery solutions?
Outsourcing gives you access to specialist skills, tested technologies, and proven frameworks—without needing to build them in-house. For many SMBs, maintaining an internal team with continuity and disaster recovery expertise isn’t practical or cost-effective.
A trusted partner like Deployus brings:
- Experienced business continuity plan consultant services who understand both your business context and your tech environment
- Access to tools and resources (like DRaaS, cloud failover, and testing environments) that are rarely available in-house
- Objective advice tailored to your risk tolerance and budget—not a one-size-fits-all model
Outsourcing ensures your response isn’t just reactive—it’s ready.
4. How can cloud-based continuity planning improve resilience?
Cloud-based continuity planning offers flexibility and speed that on-prem systems can’t match. If a local server goes down—due to a fire, flood, cyberattack, or other unexpected event—your cloud infrastructure can take over almost instantly.
For example, our clients using a business continuity plan for cloud services can often access a virtualised version of their environment within hours. There’s no need for expensive duplicate infrastructure, and compute costs only kick in when disaster recovery is actually needed.
Cloud strategies also make regular testing and plan updates easier, helping you stay resilient as your business evolves.
5. What is the process for testing a continuity plan to ensure it works during a crisis?
Testing is essential—because a plan that’s never been tested is just a document. A typical test includes:
- Scoping the test: deciding whether to test a scenario (e.g. cyberattack) or specific functions (e.g. restoring cloud access)
- Running simulations that replicate likely unexpected events
- Engaging your team: making sure staff know their roles and can follow procedures under pressure
- Measuring outcomes against your recovery objectives
- Reviewing and refining the plan based on what worked—and what didn’t
We offer structured testing support as part of our business continuity management consulting services, helping you build confidence in your systems and your people.
