Business Continuity as a Service
Service Description
Service Introduction
Overview
B4Restore’s Business Continuity-as-a-Service (BCaaS) delivers a turnkey fail-over platform hosted in our ISO-certified, Tier III Danish data centers. Should ransomware, power loss, or human error strike, you can spin up clean copies of critical workloads—network, compute, storage—inside an Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) that is completely segregated from production.
Unplanned downtime now costs anywhere from €125 to €15 000 per minute for EMEA enterprises and managed service providers, depending on industry and scale. BCaaS removes that financial risk by guaranteeing verified recovery points, rapid cut-over, and audited compliance with NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and GDPR.
All-in-one Continuity Service
BCaaS unifies disaster-recovery orchestration, ransomware clean-room analysis, and routine DR testing under a single SLA.
Our B4R Storage Portal gives real-time visibility into RPO/RTO compliance, capacity trends, and test results, while our engineers manage patching, run-books, and quarterly resilience drills—so your staff stay focused on growth, not crisis management.
Security and Compliance
A three-layer framework shields your recovery estate:
Logical
- Dedicated credentials, MFA, and strict Separation-of-Duties mean production admins never touch continuity assets
Technology
- Immutable snapshots, AES-256 encryption in-flight/at-rest, and ML-driven anomaly detection
Physical
- Dual-site Danish Tier III data centers with 24×7 surveillance and ISO 22301 business-continuity certification
This approach helps you align with stringent regulations such as NIS2, DORA and other global standards.
Air Gap protected : Immutable : Tape Copy : Offline
Optional tape export creates a fully offline, air-gapped copy of every recovery image. Even if ransomware destroys primary and secondary sites, immutable tapes stored in a vault guarantee a last line of defense and regulator-approved proof of custody.
Isolated Recovery Environment
An IRE is a CleanRoom network, cut off from production (Air-gapped), where workloads are restored, scanned, and certified before go-live – preventing reinfection and meeting cyber-insurance clauses. The median ransomware dwell time fell to 4 days in 2025, so rapid, isolated validation is critical.
Staging Area
Once applications pass malware and integrity checks, they move to a Staging Area – a controlled area for functional testing, patching, and compliance sign-off prior to full production cut-over.
Organizations leveraging staged recovery reduce post-incident defects by up to 35%, according to recent DR assessments.
Key Features
B4Restore’s Business Continuity Framework combines IRE, Staging Room, and automated orchestration to deliver provable resilience. Your teams can rehearse full-scale disaster scenarios without touching production, document results for auditors, and sign off readiness with confidence.
- Seconds-to-minutes fail-over for tier-1 workloads; RPO < 15 min verified quarterly
- Immutable, air-gapped, dual-site copies with optional tape export
- Up to 50 % OpEx savings versus self-managed DR sites, and average ransomware recovery in xx days vs. 40+ days industry baseline
Target Audience
Ideal for EMEA organizations—regulated or otherwise – whose boards demand quantifiable continuity, predictable spend, and freedom from DIY DR complexity. Both technical and non-technical executives gain clear evidence of governance and cost avoidance.
