Overview
Backups only matter if recovery works
Many fintechs have backups but have never tested a full recovery. When a real outage or cyber incident hits, unclear procedures and untested assumptions turn hours into days.
Hilix works with your engineers to set recovery time and recovery point objectives for each critical system, document recovery runbooks, review backup coverage and plan and record DR tests. Gaps are tracked to closure.

FAQ
Disaster Recovery Planning: common questions
Do you perform the technical recovery?
Your engineers or hosting providers perform recovery. We plan, coordinate, document and evidence it.

How long does DR planning take?
Typically three to six weeks, depending on the number and complexity of systems.
