🔄 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)

Introduction: Disruptions—whether from cyberattacks, natural disasters, or equipment failure—are inevitable. Wethaq ICT’s BCDR services ensure your organization is prepared, planned, and capable of rapid, seamless recovery. We build robust strategies that guarantee continuous operations (Business Continuity) and a rapid return to service following a catastrophic event (Disaster Recovery), protecting your data, reputation, and revenue.

How We Deliver Value:

• Risk Assessment and BCDR Strategy: We analyze potential threats and impact, defining clear Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) that align with your business needs.

• DR Site Implementation (Cloud & Hybrid): We design and deploy cost-effective disaster recovery infrastructure, often leveraging the cloud (AWS, Azure) for offsite replication and failover capabilities.

• Automated Data Backup and Replication: Implementing secure, multi-layered backup strategies, including the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, two different media, one copy offsite), with automated verification.

• Regular Failover Testing: We don’t wait for disaster. We conduct routine, non-disruptive testing and validation exercises to ensure the DR plan works perfectly when needed, providing clear reports and documentation.

• Business Continuity Planning (BCP): Developing the non-IT operational plans—such as communication protocols, staff roles, and critical business process recovery—to maintain essential functions during an outage.
