Frequently Asked Questions About Disaster Recovery Planning In Brisbane, Bundaberg, And Hervey Bay

What is a disaster recovery plan and why does my business need one?
A disaster recovery plan outlines how your business will restore operations after major IT disruptions such as cyberattacks, system failures, or natural disasters. Without one, even a brief outage can result in significant financial losses and reputational damage.
How long does it take to implement a disaster recovery strategy?

The timeline varies based on your current systems and goals. For most small to mid-sized businesses, a full plan can be developed and implemented within a few weeks. We start with a business impact analysis, then build, document, and test the recovery process.

Is disaster recovery different from data backup? 

Yes. Backup is just one component of disaster recovery. While backups focus on storing data safely, disaster recovery encompasses the entire process of getting your systems, staff, and communications back online quickly and securely.

Do you test the disaster recovery plan?

Absolutely. We regularly test your plan through simulations and recovery drills to ensure everything works in real-world scenarios. This ensures all team members understand their roles and the recovery process is both functional and fast.

What kinds of disasters should we prepare for? 

We plan for a wide range of threats — from ransomware and server failure to floods, fires, power outages, and even accidental deletions. Our risk assessments are comprehensive, so you're not caught off guard.

Can you help us meet compliance standards with disaster recovery?

Yes. We design plans that support regulatory frameworks such as ISO 27001, Essential 8, and sector-specific compliance requirements. This includes detailed documentation, audit trails, and evidence of readiness.

How does your local support improve our recovery time? 

Because our technicians are based in Brisbane, Bundaberg, and Hervey Bay, we can respond quickly to onsite needs. You won't wait hours or days for remote support — we're close, and we're ready.
