IT Disaster Recovery
Achieve compliance with major regulators and protocols and overhaul your approach to disaster recovery planning with C2's IT DR modules.
The Current Challenge
Disaster recovery planning is manual, resource-intensive, and often follows outdated protocols. IT recovery is often siloed from regular business services, creating compliance gaps. Enterprises also struggle to keep their IT disaster recovery plans aligned with changing assets, software, and services. Regulators like the FCA and PRA, and regulatory frameworks such as DORA or NIS2, demand demonstrable, tested recovery evidence. Global organisations must manage fragmented requirements across all geographies and frameworks.
C2's Solution
-
Less manual work, more consistent planning
Automatically update and manage disaster recovery plans according to predefined rules linked directly to BIAs and Service Impact Tolerances. Create a framework that can be easily updated while being able to deliver audit-ready evidence at the push of a button.
-
Comprehensive and proactive.
Identify gaps and update risk registers for proactive decision-making. Leverage cross-product intelligence with C2's Business Continuity and Operational Resilience software for end-to-end visibility. Integrate with configuration management databases to ensure asset data stays accurate and up to date.
-
Flexible synchronisation.
The system supports direct uploads, SFTP, API connections, or manual creation.

IT Disaster Recovery Features
Dynamic IT DR Plan Creation
Create smart IT DR plans dynamically populated from data gathered through the SIA, incident checklists, and chosen Incident Management Teams (IMT). The plans include core infrastructure impacts, recovery objectives, backup strategies, and detailed response procedures.
Critical System Dependency Registration
During the Business Impact Analysis (BIA), the organisational need for IT is rigorously qualified within the context of the Minimum Business Continuity Objective (MBCO). This ensures that only critical system dependencies are registered to mitigate intolerable harm to the business.
Comprehensive Systems Impact Analysis
A comprehensive Systems Impact Analysis (SIA) is conducted to identify the impact of different systems on the business, critical dependencies, and recovery strategies. This analysis is configurable to meet industry standards and organisational needs.
Dynamic Reporting for ITDR Plan Readiness
The module provides dynamic reporting capabilities, allowing organisations to generate detailed reports on the health and readiness of their IT DR plans. These reports can be used for compliance with standards such as ISO 22301 and for internal audits.
But we already
have
disaster recovery processes!
As with other business operations, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking you are well protected because you have already established a comprehensive disaster recovery plan. However, C2 ITDR is not just disaster recovery; it is also a compliance enabler.
-
Slash your DR overhead costs and need for manual upkeep.
-
Eliminate silos and ensure IT recovery is aligned with resilience and all other business processes.
-
Reduce the risk of regulatory fines and reputational damage with multi-region regulatory compliance adoptable straight from the start.
The manual upkeep of disaster recovery can keep many business executives floundering in protocols and eating up their valuable time. Setting up a secondary disaster recovery site is a must. Ensuring adequate data backup is in place is a must. Establishing your recovery point objectives is a must.
However, you also need to ensure that you have the systems in place to automate and support your existing plans. C2 is built to keep all your planning in one place, making rapid recovery not just feasible but completely actionable.
