Backup, disaster recovery and business continuity
Business continuity for systems means knowing how long a system can be down and how much data can be lost, and having tested arrangements that meet those numbers. Hexploits documents recovery objectives, implements backups and failover, and tests restores on a schedule, producing the evidence insurers and auditors ask for.

Who this is for
- Directors who have never seen a restore actually work.
- Businesses asked by insurers, auditors or customers for a continuity plan.
- Regulated firms under operational resilience requirements.
What you get
Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.
- Recovery time and recovery point objectives per system, agreed with the business.
- Backups implemented to meet them, with immutability where ransomware is a risk.
- Failover or rebuild procedures, as code where possible.
- Scheduled restore tests with recorded results.
- A continuity document that can be sent to an insurer or auditor.
Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.
How it is delivered
The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.
Stage 1
Impact analysis
What each system costs per hour of downtime, and what data loss would mean.
Stage 2
Design
Backup, replication and failover arrangements sized to the objectives, with costs.
Stage 3
Implement and test
Backups run, restores are tested, results are recorded.
Stage 4
Repeat
Restore tests at least quarterly under managed support, and after any significant change.
How success is measured
Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.
- Restore time achieved versus objective, per test.
- Backup success rate and age of the most recent verified backup.
- Continuity evidence accepted by insurer, auditor or customer.
