Work Area Recovery (WAR)
Secure, fully-equipped offices for your critical staff
Secure, fully-equipped offices for your critical staff
Our work area recovery services allow contracted customers a secure place for your staff to work from in the event they can’t access their usual workplace. A warm welcome, all the usual office facilities and IT preconfigured to your specified requirements are all waiting by the time you arrive.
Cyber breaches are rising up the list of reasons our customers call up these services, disruption due to hardware, communications or utility failures are still common, followed by environmental factors and then a diverse collection of reasons which of course, are hard to predict. Being able to respond quickly if you befall such an incident, means you can keep your call centre running, your traders trading, your regulators happy and your reputation intact. For some industries like finance, and critical national infrastructure providers, there are regulations in place to ensure organisations have suitable provision for dealing with these scenarios effectively to safeguard the economy, and the public, but many organisations use such services to ensure they can survive the impact of disruption in today’s “always on” digital landscape.
We can deliver quickly-deployed, extra capacity to help you scale up when things are going well, to support the launch of new services, or training requirements, and seasonal bursts where additional resource is required – so that you don’t have to invest in infrastructure to support ad-hoc usage.
Should you suffer a localised issue effecting your comms room or a critical team, our 40ft recovery trailers will come to you! They’ll deliver power, pre-configured servers and storage - and also, on-board office space for your IT department or other staff to work from during the recovery period.
We can get your staff up and running at one of our business continuity centres within an hour.
We have the largest UK network of work area recovery facilities in the UK, comprising nine business continuity centres and around 4000 individual, fully equipped desk positions situated within an hour’s reach of the UK’s major commercial hubs.
Clean, uninfected IT Infrastructure is essential in the event of a cyber breach. WAR provides peace of mind and a clean room/working environment, with uninfected hardware to recover on, resource to assist and the ability to continue to function, whilst forensic teams or your insurers investigate your breach.
WAR provides the facilities, people, resources, infrastructure and reporting tools to enable you to regularly test, rehearse and audit your plans, managing vulnerabilities and helping to minimise downtime and subsequent losses.
Specialist, complex contact centre environments and financial market trading facilities are catered for, so that your staff and the customers that call them achieve, a ‘business as usual’ experience.
We manage exclusion zones and syndication ratios to minimise risk associated with our shared services, and we provide dedicated services for your sole use and complete peace of mind.
