Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity Planning
When disaster strikes — ransomware, outage, disaster — the organisations that recover fast are the ones that planned. We help you build and test disaster recovery and business continuity plans that actually work under pressure.

Evidence and reporting
How the work is kept honest- Evidence, frozen at issuanceFindings tie to something observed. When the report is issued, the evidence behind it is frozen in the same transaction and cannot be edited afterwards.
- A signed reportAn Ed25519 signature covers both the report content and the delivered file. Alter a byte of either and verification fails.
- Written scope firstAdvisory work runs to a written scope agreed before it starts, so what you receive is what was agreed.
Anyone holding a Solvex report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents.
Our boundaries
What this engagement does not do, stated before it starts.
- Advisory and planning engagement
- Implementation of recovery infrastructure by your team
- Plans require your maintenance as the business changes
- Live failover tested only under controlled, authorised conditions
How this engagement runs
- 01
Intake
Tell us the system, the goal and the constraints. If the work is not a good fit, we say so before anyone is invoiced.
- 02
Scope and authorization
Written scope and signed authorization before anything is touched. Security testing runs only against systems you own or are contractually entitled to have tested.
- 03
Investigation or build
Specialists matched to the work. Findings are proven by hand — scanner output is a lead, never a finding.
- 04
Evidence
Every finding ties to something observed. When a report is issued, its evidence is frozen in the same transaction, so what backed the report cannot change afterwards.
- 05
Delivery
A signed report: an Ed25519 signature over both the content and the file, with a short verification reference you can read down a phone.
- 06
Verification and retest
Anyone holding the report can verify it publicly without seeing its contents. Fixes are retested as part of the engagement — “fixed” means we confirmed it.
Questions we are asked
- What's the difference between DR and BC?
- Disaster recovery is about restoring IT systems and data; business continuity is about keeping the whole organisation running through disruption. We address both so technology and operations recover together.
- Do you test the plans?
- Yes — a plan that's never tested usually fails when it's needed. We run tabletop exercises and, where appropriate, controlled recovery tests to prove the plans work.
- What do you need from us?
- Input from business and IT stakeholders on critical processes and systems, current backup arrangements, and recovery expectations. We turn that into actionable plans.
