Outcome · Always-on operations

Always-on operations. Documented, tested, regulator-ready.

When your core systems can't go down, when your regulator wants evidence of recovery, when an unplanned outage is measured in millions — you don't need a plan on a shelf. You need a tested, evidenced posture that says: we know exactly how this recovers.

Why this matters now

The problem we solve.

Your last failover test was probably more than a year ago. Your runbooks reference servers that have been replaced. Your regulator is asking for evidence, not intention.

Across the region, business-critical platforms run on DR plans drafted years ago and rarely tested end-to-end. The team that wrote them has moved on. The infrastructure has changed. And the gap between what the document says and what the system can actually do widens every quarter.

At the same time, SAMA SCF and NCA-ECC are tightening expectations on RPO/RTO targets, evidence retention, and proof of test cycles. The regulator's question is no longer 'do you have a DR plan?' — it's 'show me when you last recovered, and show me how.'

What you'll have

A posture you can prove.

Not just a plan. A tested, evidenced operating posture for every workload that matters.

100% Workloads with RPO/RTO targets

Every production workload classified, mapped, and assigned a target — signed off by the business owner.

Annual Failover validated

End-to-end failover triggered under controlled, audit-witnessed conditions — at least once a year.

Manual recovery procedures

Site-by-site improvisation retired. Recovery runs from a single, versioned, tested set of runbooks.

Hours Auditor evidence ready

Not weeks of scrambling. Control mapping, test results, and runbooks ready for submission.

In practice

What this looks like delivered.

A typical engagement runs 10–14 weeks across discovery, architecture, replication build-out, validated failover, and warranty. We embed alongside your platform team — never throw work over the wall — and the cutover is rehearsed before it is real.

The architecture spans four layers, with every layer evidenced by the time we hand over.

“NAS did not just design a plan — they built it, tested it, and handed us the evidence. We can now stand in front of an auditor and show them exactly how we recover.”
