Sustain Business Continuity
Minimise downtime and ensure rapid recovery with our robust resilience strategies.
Keep Critical Operations Running – No Matter What
Disruptions are inevitable – whether it’s a cyberattack, natural disaster, or system failure. But how your business responds and recovers defines its long-term success. At Iomart, we minimise downtime, secure critical operations, and enable rapid recovery, protecting your reputation, and keeping teams productive and customers reassured.
Why Business Continuity Matters
Every moment of downtime costs your business. It can mean:
- Lost productivity
- Financial penalties
- Damage to your reputation
- Reduced customer trust
The stakes are higher than ever. Cyberattacks, led by ransomware, are increasingly sophisticated and compliance requirements demand robust continuity plans. The consequences of failing to prepare?
Revenue Loss
30% revenue loss from the average outage
Reputational Damage
40% of disruptions damage brand reputation
Unplanned Downtime
82% of organisations experience unplanned downtime within three years
The Challenges Businesses Face
Staying operational in the face of disruption is harder than ever. Here’s why:
- Growing Cyber Threats: Ransomware and breaches exploit vulnerabilities, feeding operations.
- Half of businesses (50%) and around a third of charities (32%) report having experienced some form of cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months.
- Complex IT Environments: Hybrid-cloud strategies and intricate ecosystems make continuity planning challenging.
- 82% of businesses have adopted a hybrid-cloud strategy.
- Resource Gaps: Many organisations lack the in-house expertise to create and maintain resilient recovery plans.
- 78% of organisations report insufficient cloud security resources and expertise.
How Iomart Ensures Continuity
Preparation: Building Resilience Before a Crisis
Resilient Infrastructure
Our high-availability cloud solutions are designed with redundancy at their core, distributing workloads across multiple data centres and regions. This ensures continuous service, even if one location fails.
Immutable Data Protection
We safeguard your data using immutable backups that cannot be altered or deleted, even in the event of a cyberattack. By maintaining separate, secure backup environments, we ensure your data is always ready for recovery.
Disaster Recovery Planning
Our experts collaborate with your team to design a recovery strategy tailored to your critical assets. We identify essential business functions, determine the minimum resources required for operations, and create cost-effective plans that balance risk and resilience.
Testing and Validation
Recovery processes are rigorously tested through real-world simulations, ensuring that every aspect of your disaster recovery plan is ready to deploy. Regular testing provides confidence and demonstrates compliance.
Incident Response Preparedness
We design structured response plans for detecting and managing security incidents. This includes legal and communication support, giving you a clear roadmap to follow when a crisis occurs.
Scenario Simulations
We simulate potential incidents, such as ransomware attacks or system outages, to refine your response strategies. This proactive approach minimises surprises during real events.
Recovery: Restoring Operations Quickly and Securely
Seamless Failover
We ensure automated and rapid failover of critical systems into a secure cloud environment. Our solutions achieve near-zero Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs), so your business experiences minimal disruption.
Secure Data Recovery
Leveraging our cleanroom recovery methods, we restore data in a controlled, isolated environment to eliminate any lingering threats. This approach ensures the integrity and security of your recovered systems.
Continuous Connectivity
Our robust network services maintain uninterrupted connectivity during recovery, allowing employees to remain productive and customers to access your services without disruption.
24/7 Emergency Support
Our dedicated incident response team is available around the clock to guide you through critical events. Whether it’s a ransomware attack or a hardware failure, we provide both the expertise and resources needed to contain the issue.
