Business Continuity: the perfect complement to your security portfolio

Business Continuity: the perfect complement to your security portfolio placeholder thumbnail

You already protect your organisation with advanced cyber security solutions like MDR, penetration testing, and cloud security. These solutions significantly strengthen your security posture, adding valuable layers of defence — helping you to keep attackers out and threats under control.

But here’s the reality: even the strongest security cannot prevent every incident. Human error, supplier failures, power outages, or even natural events can bring your operations to a standstill. That’s where Business Continuity comes in — ensuring that when the unexpected happens, your organisation doesn’t just survive, it continues to thrive.

Are you missing a trick, with your security strategy?

Cyber security protects your systems. Business Continuity protects your ability to operate. Together, they create true organisational resilience, and help increase your resilience:

  • MDR (Managed Detection & Response) + Incident Response Alignment: MDR detects and responds to attacks in real time, but business continuity planning ensures you recover systems and operations quickly during an incident.
  • EDR + DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service): EDR reduces the risk of a malware outbreak, but DRaaS guarantees rapid restoration if systems go offline due to outages or failures.
  • Cloud Security + BaaS (Backup as a Service): Cloud security keeps your cloud environments safe, and automated, secure backups mean your data is always recoverable without delays.
  • Zero Trust Security + Work Area Recovery (WAR): Zero Trust limits access and protects your network, but Work Area Recovery ensures your people can keep working if primary offices or systems are unavailable.
  • Email Security + Archiving & Recovery: Advanced email protection stops phishing and malware, while archiving and recovery services ensure critical communications are never lost during outages.
  • Purple Team Testing + Resilience Testing: Purple team testing validates defence against an attack, but resilience testing validates that recovery processes keep those services available even under attack.
  • Penetration Testing + Business Continuity Planning: Penetration testing exposes vulnerabilities in your defences, while continuity planning ensures that if those weaknesses are ever exploited, your business has the tested processes and recovery strategies in place to minimise impact and maintain operations.
  • Vulnerability Management + Operational Resilience Planning: Patching reduces cyber risk, but resilience planning guarantees your business can adapt and continue delivering services through disruption.

Security builds strong walls, but business continuity ensures there’s a way forward when those walls are breached. By aligning cyber security with business continuity, you don’t just protect against attacks, you guarantee resilience, recovery, and the confidence to operate no matter what happens.
