// 01 //DOWNTIME COST
By the Hour
Outage costs compound from the first minute.
Lost revenue, idle staff, missed obligations, and reputational damage stack up fast. Continuity planning is what shortens the clock.
DISASTER RESILIENCE // BUSINESS CONTINUITY
Recovery gets systems back.
Recovery gets systems back.
Continuity keeps you running.
When the systems go down, the business still has to function. WatchUr6 builds veteran-led business continuity plans — impact analysis, prioritized recovery, and a tested crisis structure — so your critical operations stay up through the disruption.
// THE DOWNTIME GAP
The clock starts the moment operations stop.
Every hour offline costs revenue, customers, and trust. Three reasons continuity planning is what decides how much.
// 02 //NO RETURN
Many Fail
A large share of firms never fully recover from a major outage.
Prolonged disruption pushes customers to competitors and strains cash beyond recovery. The plan is what keeps a bad day from being the last one.
// 03 //UNTESTED
On Paper
Most continuity plans are never actually exercised.
An untested plan is a guess about how you'll perform under pressure. The exercise is where the gaps surface — before the real event finds them.
// WHAT YOU GET
A plan that keeps you operating.
Not a binder built for an auditor. A right-sized, tested continuity plan your team can actually run on the worst day.

Business Impact Analysis
The foundation: which functions are truly critical, what they depend on, and how fast each must come back before the damage turns severe.
- Critical functions and dependencies mapped
- Recovery time and recovery point objectives set per function
- Priorities ranked so effort goes where it matters first
ANALYZE · PRIORITIZE · SCOPE

Recovery Strategies
Concrete, prioritized strategies for keeping critical functions running — workarounds, alternates, and the resources each requires.
- Manual workarounds and alternate processes defined
- Backup facilities, vendors, and resources identified
- Strategies aligned to your recovery objectives
STRATEGY · ALTERNATE · SUSTAIN

Crisis Management Structure
Who leads, who decides, and who communicates when the pressure is on — a clear command structure so the response isn't improvised.
- Defined roles, authority, and activation triggers
- Internal and external communication plans
- Escalation paths that hold up under stress
COMMAND · DECIDE · COMMUNICATE

Testing & Maintenance
An untested plan is an assumption. We exercise it, fix what breaks, and keep it current as the business changes.
- Tabletop and functional tests that pressure the plan
- Findings fed back into a stronger, usable plan
- Maintenance cadence so it reflects today's operation
TEST · REFINE · MAINTAIN
// HOW IT WORKS
Analyze, plan, test, sustain.
A structured engagement that grounds the plan in what actually matters and proves it works before you need it.
01
Impact Analysis
We map your critical functions and dependencies, then set realistic recovery objectives for each — the foundation of the whole plan.
02
Build the Plan
Recovery strategies, a crisis command structure, and communication plans — right-sized to your organization and genuinely usable.
03
Test It
Tabletop and functional exercises put the plan under realistic pressure, surface the gaps, and build muscle memory in your team.
04
Maintain It
A review cadence keeps the plan current as systems, people, and priorities change — so it works the day you need it.
// OPERATIONAL HERITAGE
From keeping the mission running
when comms dropped, equipment failed, and the plan met reality
to keeping your business operating when the systems go down.

The questions buyers ask first.
What's the difference between business continuity and disaster recovery?
Disaster recovery is about restoring technology; business continuity is broader — keeping the critical functions of the organization running while that recovery happens, including people, processes, facilities, and communications.
Disaster recovery answers how we get the servers back; continuity answers how we keep serving customers and meeting obligations in the meantime. You need both, and they work together.
What is a Business Impact Analysis and why does it come first?
A Business Impact Analysis identifies which functions are truly critical, what they depend on, and how quickly each must be restored before the damage becomes severe. You can't build a sensible plan without knowing what matters and in what order.
The BIA produces the recovery priorities and time objectives that drive every other decision — preventing the mistake of protecting everything equally and therefore protecting nothing well.
We're a smaller organization. Do we really need a formal plan?
Smaller organizations often need it more — less margin to absorb a prolonged outage and fewer people to improvise. A continuity plan doesn't have to be a thousand pages; it has to be right-sized, realistic, and usable under stress.
We scale the plan to your organization so it's practical to maintain and genuinely helps on the worst day — not a binder built for an auditor and then forgotten.
Does this cover cyberattacks specifically, or all disruptions?
Both — a strong continuity plan is all-hazards. It works whether the disruption is ransomware, a cloud outage, a natural disaster, a key-vendor failure, or loss of a facility.
Cyber incidents get particular attention because they can take down systems and data at once and trigger regulatory clocks, but the principles — prioritized functions, recovery strategies, and a clear command structure — apply to any event.
How do we know the plan will actually work?
You test it. An untested continuity plan is an assumption, not a capability. We validate plans through tabletop and functional tests that put them under realistic pressure, surface the gaps, and build muscle memory in the people who'd execute them.
Testing is also where you discover whether your recovery time objectives are achievable in practice or merely aspirational on paper.
How often should the plan be updated?
At least annually, and after any significant change — new systems, a reorganization, a merger, a new facility, or a real incident. Continuity plans decay quickly because organizations change faster than their documentation.
We help you put a maintenance cadence in place so the plan reflects how the business operates today, not how it operated when the plan was first written.
