Strategic planning for business continuity
Disaster recovery planning is about ensuring your business can bounce back from serious incidents—fires, floods, cyberattacks or system failures. Prime ICT helps you map out business-critical systems, set recovery objectives, and plan failover procedures tailored to your environment. With clear documentation, roles, priorities and dependencies defined, your team knows exactly what to do when worst comes. The result: reduced downtime, lower risk, and confidence that you can recover quickly.
Defining RTOs, RPOs and actionable recovery steps
We work with you to define Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) for each system, ranked by business criticality. You’ll get a detailed plan that includes backup strategies, alternative sites, communication plans, and resource allocation. We ensure procedures are documented, staff are trained, and dependencies understood. This planning phase helps reduce chaos during disruption and ensures recovery happens in a methodical, predictable way.
