On a schedule agreed with your risk committee that meets your regulator's requirements, and after any major change to systems or suppliers.
Doha Services
Best Business continuity and disaster recovery company in Doha
Recovery targets from a business impact analysis, and plans tested on a schedule. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in Doha on business continuity, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Business continuity starts with a business impact analysis: which services matter most, how long each can be down and how much data you can afford to lose. Recovery architecture, backups and failover are then designed and tested against those targets.
In Qatar, the personal data privacy law sets the baseline, the National Cyber Security Agency publishes the national information assurance standard, and banks follow Qatar Central Bank requirements. We plan hosting, data classification and evidence around these from the start.
Work runs in short phases you can review. We strengthen your team with specialist people where you need them, and each phase closes with a demonstration and a decision on what comes next.
The scope can run from a short diagnostic to a phased rollout, and each phase is fixed before it starts.
What has to go right
These are the factors that usually decide whether the programme meets its goals.
- Recovery time and recovery point targets agreed for each service.
- Backups protected from deletion and proven by real restores.
- Tabletop and failover exercises, with findings tracked to closure.
What we check first
Recovery plans that are never tested rarely work. We run tabletop exercises and technical failover tests on a schedule, and map the plans to the references your regulator uses, such as ISO 22301.
At the end of each phase we provide the proof your risk and audit teams need to file: test results, access reviews and signed handover documents.
Before you start
Practical questions from IT and procurement teams.
Each phase is scoped and priced separately, with the team, the deliverables and the acceptance criteria written down, and you receive an itemised quote before work starts.
Your team, unless you choose managed services. We name who is responsible for each component before launch, hand over the runbooks and train your people.
How the work runs
Four stages, each with clear criteria for moving to the next.
Discover
We document the current set-up, the people involved and the constraints, and agree what success looks like.
Design and plan
We set the target design, phases, test approach and acceptance criteria, and review them with your architects and risk team.
Build and test in stages
We deliver in increments, testing and demonstrating each one before the next begins.
Hand over
We hand over runbooks, train your team and support the launch, then formally transfer responsibility to the people you nominate.
