IT Disaster Recovery Services
Disaster recovery management that ensures your services are working and available 24/7
Our recovery services are built around the known risks that can disrupt business systems. These include hardware failure, software issues, power outages, connectivity interruptions, human error, and common cyber threats. We monitor, maintain, and proactively manage your environment to reduce downtime risk and respond quickly if and when it occurs. Even so, not every event sits neatly within a predictable range.
From time to time, there will be a factor outside of this range that will result in your IT system coming down – whether it is the physical impact of a natural disaster at your premises, or an unpreventable zero-day attack on your network.
Planning to mitigate the impact of such an event on your business is a critical component of our managed services. A disaster recovery plan (DR Plan) is, to some degree, an insurance premium. As with all insurances, you must weigh the ongoing cost with your understanding of the likelihood of needing it, and the severity of the impact in that situation.
The right balance that ensures business continuity, without the high costs
Business continuity is about protecting your critical data and essential systems without overspending on unnecessary safeguards. The right balance depends on how much downtime would truly cost your business in lost revenue, contract breaches or reputational impact.
For most organisations, keeping a spare laptop for every employee or leasing a fully equipped secondary office may be excessive. The ongoing expense often outweighs the likelihood of needing that level of redundancy. However, if your operations rely on constant system availability, strict compliance or real-time access to critical data, a higher level of protection may be justified.
Envisage helps you assess your recovery objectives, operational risk and system dependencies so you can invest in business continuity measures that reflect your actual exposure, not worst-case assumptions.
Backups that you can rely on
When it comes to backups, the question is really, how much work you can afford to lose, how quickly you need it back, and how long you want to store it for.
The more work you can afford to lose, the less frequently the backup system needs to copy data, reducing the computing load and amount of bandwidth it consumes to move the data offsite. The longer you can go without it being available again, the cheaper the cost of storage.
Similarly, if you only want to hold 30 days’ worth of backups, it will take up significantly less storage space than if you want to retain 12 months of data.
Envisage have a variety of solutions across whether it’s with our cloud products or your on-premises server, giving you the power to decide what you want to back up.
Why Truth Envisage IT with your DR plan
We understand your business impact
We take time to understand how your organisation operates, which systems are essential and what interruption would realistically cost in lost revenue, client disruption or regulatory exposure.

Recovery frameworks are structured around practical risk, aligning infrastructure, redundancy and restoration settings with your operational needs rather than unnecessary duplication.
We bring proven cross-industry experience
Our team supports organisations across medical, financial, legal, education, property and professional services sectors, applying insight gained from diverse and regulated environments.
We prioritise testing and verification
Recovery procedures are documented, reviewed and tested so restoration steps are clear, responsibilities are defined and systems can be reinstated within agreed timeframes.
We invest in ongoing expertise
Technology and cyber risk evolve rapidly. Our team commits to continual training so your disaster recovery solution reflects current best practice and emerging threats.
We remain accountable when it matters
If disruption occurs, we act immediately, manage the recovery process end to end and communicate clearly while restoring operational capability as efficiently as possible.

Our disaster recovery process
Disaster recovery should be practical and aligned with how your business operates. We focus on protecting your data and restoring systems quickly and without stress.
Step 1: Discovery
We assess your infrastructure, backup setup, and the real impact downtime would have on your business.
Step 2: Recovery planning
We define clear recovery time objectives, data retention requirements, and the level of redundancy that makes commercial sense.
Step 3: Implementation
We deploy and configure cloud, on-premises or hybrid backup solutions, fully documented and tested.
Step 4: Monitoring & review
Our experience across all aspects of managed IT services and the fact that we've been working in this industry since the 90s mean that your job won't be the most complicated one we've ever seen. We love bringing simplicity to IT, but we know what to do when it's far from easy!
Step 5: In the event of a disaster
If an incident occurs, we jump into action and activate your recovery plan. Systems are restored according to agreed recovery time objectives, data is recovered from secure backups and priority services are brought back online first. We manage the process end to end, keeping you informed while working to minimise downtime and operational disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a question about our accounting technology, managed IT services, or how we support accounting professionals? It might be answered below.
A disaster recovery solution outlines how your systems, applications and information are restored after a serious incident. It goes beyond simple copies of files and maps out the process, order of restoration and responsibilities so operations can resume in a controlled way.
Recovery time depends on your settings and the level of protection in place. Some environments can be restored within hours, while others may take longer. During planning, we agree on realistic timeframes based on how your business operates.
Your environment changes over time. New software, additional staff and infrastructure upgrades all affect risk. Recovery settings should be reviewed regularly to confirm they still align with your operational needs.
If access to your site is disrupted, recovery arrangements can be activated to restore services from alternate infrastructure, depending on your settings. This allows teams to regain access to systems without waiting for physical premises to reopen.
Yes. We can support cloud-based platforms, on-site servers or a hybrid setup. The configuration depends on your current environment and the level of resilience you require.
We begin with an assessment of your existing environment and recovery settings. This helps identify gaps, overlaps or unnecessary spend, and confirms whether your current plan aligns with your business priorities.
